Studebaker Exports

Every month since last October,
the monthly export sales of Stude-
baker motor cars have been the
largest for that month in the history
of the corporation. Nine successive
months, and each has hung up a new
sales record.
I Canada alone, the sales for the
first six months of 1925 were greater
than for the whole year of 1924.
Over the entire export field, sales
during the first seven months of l9zo
are greater than the whole of 1024.
A tabulation of the increase in per
cent of sales for each of the nine
months mentioned, over the same
month of the best previous year IN
corporate history follows:
November 1924, 40.6 per cent in
crease.
December, 1924 $50 pre- cent in
January. 1925, e3.7 per cent in
February, 1925, 1885 per cent in
March, 1925, SO per cent in
crease.
April, 1925, 35.S per cent increase.
May, 1925, Alb per cent increase.
June, 1925, 500 per cent increase.
July, 1925, 766 per cent increase,
(based on orders on file for shipment
during July).
The average increase of the past
nine months over the nine best such
months heretofore recorded, was 6O
per cent Every car exported after
August 1 will be that much increase
over the best previous year in the
corporations history.

and this caused a bucking action,
particularly since his car had a lot
of backlash in the gears, joints and
rear end.

the trouble was, so I kept on ridin'
around with him until my suspicious
were proved to be justified. 1 finally
had to tell i'm what 1 suspected all
along. He was simply dlscoverln'
for the first time a fault of his car
buretor. There is a dead" spot in
the carburetor's range where the en-
gine will buck a little if gas is not
fed quickly or deliberately.
What he should have done was to
ask some of his friends, who drive
cars with the same carburetor,
whether they notice anything like
this. If they said it was all news to
them he should have asked for a
short spin in their cars and noted
how they feed gas when startin' TO
accelerate from speeds Of fifteen 10
twenty miles per hour. Most drivers
feed gas too quickly and of course
they could never be expected to dis
cover the dead" spot. If he discov-
cred any car that absolutely didn't
have this break in the carburetor
range he should have compared the
adjustment with that Of his own car
buretor.

100000 Ford Cars
And Trucks in L. S.

One of the most striking illustra-
tions of changed motoring conditions
since a few years back, when the car
owner feared 10 go on any lengthy
tour. is found in the Ford organiza-
tion which is today providing service
facilities for approximately half the
motor vehicles in the United States.
1t is estimated that there are 9,000,000
Ford cars and trucks traversing the
streets and highways of the nation
and Ford service stations are scat
tered in most every city, village and
hamlet to keep these cars running
with a minimum of delay and at low
cost.
The Ford Motor Company was
among the earliest automobile COM
panies to recognize that popularzing
motor car travel depended upon SER
vice facilities and that the motorist
in need of service or replacement
parts must not be compelled to wait
a day or two, but be cared for in the
shortest possible time.
Establishment of Ford service sta
tions therefore started years back but
under the remarkable demand for
Ford cars. particularly during the last
few years with sales running close to
100000 annually. it has been neces-
sary to extend this organization and
to do II quickly. How we'll this has
been accomplished is seen in company
records which show that since 1923,
when Ford dealers totaled a little
more than 5000, the number has been
increased to $500. But in addition to
this the authorized Ford Service Sta
tions have been increased more than
100 per cent in the last two years un-
til at present there are $4,000 such
stations throughout the country. This
makes a total of close to $4,000 places
where Ford owners may secure neces-
sary adjustments and service parts
for their cars.
Another factor is that all these
places operate under the company's
definite service policy requiring eff
cient mechanics. approved tools and
machinery and the exclusive use of
genuine Ford parts. with constant In
spection to see that parts stocks are

CEASES TO BE A JOKE

The man who takes care OF his car
and who is conscientious In the
seemingly little things may yet come
into his own.
This is the prediction Of those who
believe that the present accident SIT
uation is nothing more nor less tnan
the anal result of carelessness IN de-
tails of car ownership.
Robert T. Hurley. superintendent
of the Connecticut State police, dur
ing a recent address declared that
there seems to be prevalent an un,
usual attitude Of indifference and
carelessness by motorists. Until
they realize that they are response
bic. he predicts, there will be fatal
tiles and serious accidents on the
road.
The situation, however, is not nee
essarily unusual. When a man gets
to a point where he doesn't care how
much air he has in his tires he Is
not very likely to care whether ne

For Better Driving

When you have set your front
wheels for a complete turn and the
streets are wet be careful to start
off gently, otherwise the front wheels
are likely to skid. You may find
yourself half way across the street
before the car actually starts turn
ing.
If the clutch drags a little, making
it difficult to shift into low gear
without making a noise, try retard-
ing the spark each time you want
to make the start. If the engine is
running at it's slowest speed natur-
ally the clutch cannot spin as fast.
When making a quick stop on a
we'll travelled street turn over to the
right as far as possible. This gives
the man behind a chance to swing
safely to your left if his brakes are
not as effective as yours.

Is traffic capable of taking care OF
itself? According to statements
made in the latest traffic survey
made by the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce the bigger the
city, on the average, the smaller is
the percentage of police force as
signed to traffic duty. 100 per cent
of the police force of Decatur, ILL.,, is
assigned to traffic duty, whereas IN
New York City only 13 per cent at
tend to traffic. This would seem TO
support the opinion that when there
are enough cars on the streets they
will almost take care of themselves.
Public opinion, or spirit, virtually
prohibits a display of selishness and
daredevilry.

Remedies to Remember

Dirt in the needle valve of the car
buretor is likely to cause uneven
running and an incorrect mixture.
When you think that something like
this is happening under the hood
simply pull the choker all the way
out for an instant. This blocks off
the air to the carburetor and enables
the pistons to suck a quantity Of
fuel through the needle valve. it

A car that will climb hills well
will also descend hills under better
control That is because its engine
has good compression. A motor with
tight pistons and tight seating valves
will hold all the gas you give 1t and
