SERVICE GREAT ON STUDEBAKER
Cruse-C Crawford Company Plant High In Efficiency On
 Service

Many important changes have been made in the Cruse-Crawford establish ment since that firm took on the dis tribution of the Stndebaker line of automobiles. The spacious show rooms have been redecorated and new furniture added. making one of the most attractive exhibits in town. Many changes have also been made in the shop equipment and facilities. This department is in charge of Mac Mckinney, who is so we'll known to hundreds of Studebaker owners. In the service department many new items of equipment have been added and new systems for service devised thereby gaining much in efficiency so that now the facilities for serving Studebaker owners is equal to any in the country. Waste and loss of time have been elimi- mated so that car owner can get what he wants when he wants it.
 The parts department has also been rearranged and a full stock of Stude- baker parts is now available.
 Douglas Kirkpatrick, salesmanager for the Studebaker outfit reports fine demand for his cars and a steadily in- creasing patronage at the service station.

LARGE NUMBERS OF
 CARS BEING. STOLEN
Percentage Of Cars Recovered
 Shows Decline, However

ST LOUIS, March 1.-SIore than 100000 automobiles were stolen in 2S key cities of the United States in six years, of which nearly 25 per cent have not been recovered. This is shown in table of figures on thefts and re- coveries made public today by c. A. yane. general manager of the National Automobile Dealers association. The cars stolen in 1923 totaled 39.612. Of this number 7.22S were unrecovered January 1.
 The percentage of unrecovered stolen cars in the 2S index cities. for 1923 was IS per cent. the lowest recorded since tbe records have been kept.
 Police efforts. certificate of title laws, registration provisions all have had an effect on the recoverics of cars in 1923. it is believed. Tn spite of the lowest number of unreccvered cars, 1923 also registered the highest total number of cars stolen in six years in those 2S cities.
 Thefts in the index cities totaled 203,- 499 cars in six years. The recoveries totaled 153,S27 Jcars. The total of cars unrecovered is 49.677 These are figures reported to the N. A. D. A. each year from the official records of the police departments,

HUDSON BODIES
 MADE BY HAND
Super Six Sedan Body Built By 2 Old-Fashioned
 Methods ..

"In these days of automatic machip. cry turning out enormous numbers of motor cars, it is refreshing once in while to hear of product brought into being under the Old-fashioned, handmade methods of our fathers. observes A. k. Pryor Hudson-Essex dis 1 tributor
 Imagine if you can concern in the motor car industry where there is not one single set of dies of stamping presses, where the men work unhurried- ly. where the individual skill of each workman is of vitl importance.
 Then imagine this concern increas- ing the skill of it's men by accepting only contracts for first-grade products. Consider a system, under which the older workmen instruct the boys-in many cases it is father and son-in the secrets of their trade. Last of all imagine this plant located in small New England town, in which it has been carrying on it's business for three quarters of a century. "
 Doesn't sound much like the bust ling, hustling automobile business, does it? ->
 Well, there is such plant. It is located in Amesbury, Mass. If you'll LOOK that up on the map, you'll see that it is in the quiet, historic valley of the Merrimac river, way up near the northern border. Long before the automobile business was thought of, this institution was building fine horse driven carriages. s s
 My especial interest is that since 1916, this concern has done nothing but build the finest grade of enclosed cars for the Hudson Motor Car Co. Year after year, Hudson contracts for its output. @
 At present, their product is the Hud- son super-six sedan. Just glance or two will show anyone where these work men, with their individual skill and their individual ideas of what is genu- inc quality workmanship, produce an article of different and finer type To the man who wants truly fine motor car, it is just the right choice
 "When to the beauty and comfort of the body you add the power, sure ness and smoothness of the super-six chassis, you have carriage which genuinely typifies the old-fashiOned quality and character which our fathers and grandfathers liked to have built into their possessions"

NASH MAN SEES
 SPRING SHORTAGE
Dealers Face Demand That In- dicates Dearth Of Motor Cars
 In Spring

With spring now close at hand, auto- mobile dealers handling cars of stand- ard make are facing a demand that from every. indication will eclipse any previous shortage in the history of the automobile industry.
 Practically every spring finds the automobile dealer body unable to meet the demand for immediate delivery .The Nash retail selling organization, at this time, is carrying on it's books more untitled retail orders for spring delivery than at any time since this company was established. ; Many of our dealers, having passed through spring shortage periods of the past, an- ticipate their requirements this year and have on hand stocks of cars in quantities sufficient to carry them part ly through the approaching rush sea- son. a
 Those dealers who have failed to stock a sufficient number of cars this year are going. to find it more diff ficult than ever before, because of the heavy demand, to take care of the orders that the opening of spring will bring forth. At the beginning of the year Mir. Nash expressed the belief that good business generally would prevail throughout the first half, of the year with favorable indications for the latter half also
 'sThis conviction is being borne out by reports on many great industries aside from automobile manufacturing. fulfilled orders. Son the books of the Steel Corporation as of January 31. show anf Increase of 353, ,090 tons, the piano tlianilfRcturing industry is ex- periencing one of the heaviest demands in history, the hide and leather market is emerging from length period of liquidation. Shoe manufacturers are busy and tabulation of building per- mits issued in group of 262 major cities show the largest January volume known.
 Sales of Nash cars at automobile shows held so, far this season through. out the country are heavier by wide margin than ever before in the history of the, company. Reports received by tlie factory from distributors and deal CTS at points where shows have been held show in some instances of two hundred and three hundred per cent in show sales. Orders for immediate or spring delivery taken immediately following shows atsall these points are a plain indication of the heavy spring demand that is bound to follow: it looks as though history will repeat again this year and that during the busy period, so far as the standard makes are concerned, there will not be cars enough to 20 around

tOLDSMOBILE TEST :
 SHOWS ENDURANCE
Run Of 908 Miles Made Over Mountain In Record Time

Another record of a type to test the stamina and endurance qualities of an automobile has been made by a new Oldsmobile six. A stock touring car, fully equipped, with windshield and top. made the run from Pasadena, Cal, 10 Phoenix, Ariz., and return, distance of DOS miles, over the famous noun tain and desert A. A. A. course, in 31 hours and 21 minutes.
 The run was made by l.. s. Hop kins, sales manager for k. Grant Hay ward, Oldsmobile dealer at Pasadena. Before starting Hopkins had the hood and radiator officially sealed and his time officially checked at the Western Union office at Pasadena.
 UnfavOfable road conditions, particu- larly in passing over the mountains and through the Arizona desert, were experienced by Hopkins. Nevertheless he arrived at Phoenix 15 hours and 9 minutes after leaving Pasadena. The return trip was made in 10 hours and 56 minutes. This time is considered remarkable inasmuch as during many miles of the trip road conditions forced Hopkins to maintain rate of speed frequently below 20 miles an hour.
 Official check showed that the round trip of DOS miles was made with an average of 26 2-3 miles per gallon of gasoline. Only one quart of oil and three pints of water were used,
 Since it's introduction last fall, the new Oldsmobile six has captured a number of records in these combined speed, endurance and economy runs. Tests of this character have supplanted speedway racing to large extent, as they are made under actual conditions encountered by the "driver-owner" and are made by regular stock cars from the factory production line..

MANY CARS PASS

Attention is called by the publicity department of the Buick Motor com pany to the fact that 42,OOO automo- piles pass the corner of Fifth avenue and Forty-Second street, New York, every twenty four hours. It is pointed out that these cars carry an aggre- gate of people surpassing the popula- ton of such representative cities as York; Lowell, Mass; Fort Worth, Spokane, Washington Albany, New Texas and Oklahoma City.

MAXWELL MOTOR
 PAYS OFF NOTES
Officials Of Corporation Are Highly Optimistic As To
 This Year

The continued progress of the Max well Motor corporation is reflected in it's call for redemption of payment of series C notes amounting to something over four and helf million dollars, on March 1, 1921. This call antici- pates the maturity of the notes by three months and wipes out the last of the funded indebtedness of the cor poration incurred at the. date & it's organization, June l, 1921. The original note indebtedness of the cor poration was for S11 500 .000.00. in ad- dition to which there wer mortgage on one of the corpora tion's plants for $3, 150, ,0O00O. @5
 The working capital requirements ,f the Maxwell Motor corporation for its increased business and partially in coIi- nection with the bringing out of the new. Chrysler six, which has met with such phenomenal reception at the hands of the public, have made it inadvisable to retire series C notes from the curernt working capital of the corporation, and provision has been made for the is- suance of new line of securities in the form of ten-year : per cent con- vertible sinking fund gold debentures Such an issue has already received the approval of the stock holders and will shortly be offered to the public Officials of the corporation are highly optimistic over the outlook this year, and anticipating substantial increases in sales over the very satisfactory re- suits of 1923. The advance in Janu- ary business over the same month last year was ill excess of 3S per cent on Maxwell sales alone. And when the spring selling season is under way this creased
 Production on the Chrysler car is gradually mounting, and to date the monthly schedules which were laid out last August for Chrysler production have been met. Manufacturers who know the difficulty always attendant to the building of a new product real ize that it is highly unusual to met t schedules in the first few months of production.
 It is also pointed out that the cor poration, with current assets five times greater than current liabilities, is in excellent cash position to undertake the mammoth operations planned for the remainder of the year.
