probably the largest in nine years, to-
falling approximately 23,000,000 bales
of 479 pounds each, estimates receiv-

CARS DAILY
This Exceeds by 1000 Best

History.
By ROY c. HAYES


Universal Service Automobile Editor
DETROIT, Oct. 24.-Testifying TO
the sustained demand for automobiles
in all parts of the country, September
motor car production was the greatest
monthly grist in two years, with one
exception. Nearly every factory re-
ports that September and October
business will far exceed that done
during corresponding months of pre-
vious years.
Ford factories here are running at
the astounding pace of $500 cars and
trucks daily. This exceeds by 1000
cars, the best daily performance in the
history of the company. For the last
two months, Ford has been hiring 500
men daily and is continuing 10 take
on help. He is now employing $780,,
900 men in Detroit.
q NEW STARS.
Durant steps into the limelight this
week In one of the years biggest sur
3prises with the announcement of a
~nev line of Star six-cylinder models,
sof which 5000 are scheduled for
1926. The new six is now in produc-
lion and will 60 on display, generally,
early next month.
The motor will be Of the L-head
type. bore two and three-quarters.
stroke four and three-quarters, and
will develop 30 brake horsepower. All
models will sell for less than $1,000.
There will be three models, coach. |
-coupster and coupe, each selling for |
less than $1,000. The wbeelbase is
107 inches.
= NEW BODY PLANT.
y Work was started last week on
new S5,000,000 body plant for the
Hudson Motor Car Company. When
,completed the plant will have a ca
pacity of 1000 closed bodies daily and
will be devoted exclusively to the pro-
auction of Hudson and Essex coaches.
1t will be the. largest plant in the
world devoted exclusively TO one type
of body.
Hudson-Essex prices took another
drop last week, when both coaches
were each cut $35 and the Hudson
brougham and Hudson sedan were re-
;duced s45.
The latest reduction brings Hudson
Essex products down the one of the
.rnoet outstanding values in the in
dustry.
PRODUCTION UP.
Buick is running at a record clip.
Production Is >rogressing at the rate
of 1000 cars a day. 1t is expected
that Buick will make more than 200.-
900 cars this year as compared with
100 O00 for 1924
Willys-Overland is also doing a
thousand a day and finding difficulty
in taking care of the knight motor
business. Olds, at Lansing, is build
ing additions TO the factory TO enable
the company to double its production
by the first of the year If demand
continues at the present rate.
Production of the Fordson snow
motor has been started at the factory
of Snow Motors, Inc, here. The
vehicle, the latest TO be put out by
the Ford organization, is, as its name
suggests, designed for use in snow.
Because of its peculiar construction,
the snow motor either rides over the
tops of drifts or, if heavily loaded,
breaks the roads so that teams or
automobiles can readily follow after il.

This large total represents money
advanced to finance solely the dis
tribution and sale of new General
Motors products and used cars taken
in trade by General Motors dealers
and re-sold on GMAC plan. The plan
is available only to General Motors
dealers.
Even more significant. however,
than the huge total of business is
the fact that it has been transacted
on such a plane of good credits. that
the losses incurred have been extreme
ly small. The loss experience on all

This is record of which the cor

GMAC being in n position TO offer
the lowest available financing rates
in connection with the purchase of

tions of the roads as the best they have ever been.
 He was testifying in the western freight rate advance case.
 So far in 1895" he said, "the railways of the country have hand led the largest number of carloads of freight ever transported in any similar period of time, and with this peak traffic the carriers are operat- ing with the greatest economy and efficiency ever shown.
 Loadings Since January 1.
 From January to August 16, a1.345,000 cars were loaded with rev. enue freight, as compared with 29.- b5o,0o0 cars in 1924. And yet, des- pite the fact that loading for several weeks have been in excess of one million cars week. there has been at all times an ample surplus of both freight cars and locomotives avail able for use, remarkable evidence of efficient distribution and utiliza- ton of equipment, and of efficiency in operation fin general.
 Other figures show this same in- crease in the efficiency and economy of operation. Considering the west ern railway alone, 1t appears that these lines in 1924 reduced their fuel bill in the freight service by almost slS,o0O,000 as compared with 1920. In the passenger service there was a corresponding saving of almost $4,- 0o0,O00 in the 1924 fuel swings
 Losses Cut.
 Loss and damage payments Of the western railways have been cut almost two-thirds since 1920.
 There has been increasing ad- equacy of transportation and pro- gresive improvement in the effi- ciency and economy of railroad op- eration. In this entire matter, the railroads of the country are leaving no stone unturned to provide the greatest measure of efficient service to their patrons. and to do 1t with the greatest measure of economy ever known"

 The loss of large part of the rum fleet and hundreds of thousanl of cases of whiskey apparently has dismayed those persons in England who had hoped to get rich quickly in supplying thirsty Americans with their needs, and there now is no money available for smuggling proj- ects. Many ships once engaged in the illicit traffic now arc to be seen lying idle in ports.

 Several delegates reported that they could not get the five union

 get union underwear, shoes or shirt

 One Hartford delegate became so excited while discussing the subject
 that In his zeal he tore his necktie loose and created considerable amusement by trying to tie 1t. smoke

 Another delegate said he went to
