MOTOR CAR BUSINESS
NO LONGER SEASONAL

The development Of the automobile
business is clearly away from being
merely seasonal. Motor car dealers
are no longer active only during the
spring. summer and early fall months.
People drive cars, every day because
they find that when the weather is in
clement. there is more need for a car
and today usually IL il a closed
car-than ever.
Naturally. this change has been re
Elected by a similar change Of atti-

the fact that the automobile business

METHODS OF TRAVEL SHOW
IMPROVEMENT IN AMERICA

Methods of transcontinental trave
have shown marvellous progress since
the gold rush of the '40ers blazed thu
way from the Atlantic to the Pacific
at fearful cost of human life. How
great the changes have been was strik-
ingly brought out recently when the
Miller Brothers 101 Ranch, real wild
VESTS how. was playing in Lansing,
Mich. the home of Odds Motor Works,
At this time there were grouped all
types of conveyances used for personal
cross-country transportation in the
history of this country.
The first means of travel westward
was depicted by an original covered
wagon" drawn by yoke of oxen and
piloted BY Ezra Meeker, who is %
years old. Mr.. Meeker blazed the Ore
gon trail in 1852, making the first
northern trip and using a replica OF
the wagon he had at Lansing. Last
year he was a candidate for the state
Legislature in Washington and cam
paigned in an early, one-cylinder
Oldsmobile.
The next step after the covered
wagon was the stage coach, which
formed connecting links across the
wilderness. This phase was shown at
the gathering by one Of the original
stage coaches which ran from Fort Sill
to Enid in the "Deadwood Dick" days.
The old hack" still bears the marks
of fights with Indians and road agents.
The entrance of the automobile into
cross-country travel was represented
by one of the two curved dash Odds

mobiles which held the first trans
continental race. On May s, 1905, two
Oldsmobiles started from Broadway
and Fiftieth street. New York. The
winning car arrived in Portland, Ore,
A days later. The second car took
more than a week longer to make the
trip. At the Transportation reunion,
lack Mulhull. one of Oklahoma's pio-
neers. was in the drivers seat. Null
hull aided in breaking up the famous
James boys band and, about two years
ago during impeachment proceedings,
the affnirs of the state were turned
over to him by the governor when he
placed the state under martial law.
To complete the picture and bring
the methods up to date were Mr.. and
Mrs. T.. NJ. Richards and the Odds
mobile with which they are touring
the world. The Rambling Ramblers,"
us the Richards ere known, have auto
modified over the entire western hemi-
sphere during the past six years, and
will spend the next five or six years
touring Europe, Asia, Africa and Aus
tralia.
They are now driving their third
Oldsmobile. having covered over a
quarter of million miles in their
last two cars.

s WORLD RECORDS
FALL In FINAL
OF YEARS RACING

The feat of Earl Cooper and Frank
Elliott in breaking every world record
from 20 to $50 miles at the Culver
City, Cal, speedway recently climaxed
what is generally agreed has been the
greatest year automobile racing has
ever known, says X. A. Stranahan,
president of the Champion Spark Plug
Company. New world speedway rec
ords were hung up during the year
for every distance from / IA miles TO
500. The marks for some of those
distances were broken several times
as the little 122 cubic inch cars whirl-
ed their way around the country's va
rious speedways.
Elliott was compelled to average the
tremendous speed of 127.S7 miles an
hour for 259 miles to win this last
1925 race. Had Cooper's gasoline
been sufficient to carry him the en-
tire distance, he and not Elliott would
have won, and in still faster time.
Six new world records are now on
the books because of this Culver City
race. Cooper himself set five OF them.
His qualifying time for one lap. made
two days before the race started, was
at the rate Of 141.5 miles an hour.
His speed for the first IS miles was
1926 miles an hour; for 100 miles,
1918; for $50 miles, 1907 and for
200 miles, 129.5 miles an hour-all of
them new world marks. Fifteen laps
before the finish-with less than TWEEN
ty miles to go-Cooper's gasoline tank
ran dry. So closely was he pursued
that his slowing down for more fuel
cost him four places. But his mis-
fortune acted as q tonic to Elliott,
who whirled his mount around the
track fast enough to wind up a mile
ahead Of Harry Hartz, in second place

MAKE $4,000
MOTOR CARS
IN MONTH

A new November record was estab-
lished by the automobile industry dur
ing the past month when $4,000 cars
and trucks were manufactured, this
being the total estimated from ship
ping reports filed at the directors
meeting of the National Automobile
Chamber of Commerce in New York
today.
The total for the eleven months is
1891, 954 exceeding the record total of
eleven months in 1923 by SO per cent
and insuring that the total for tn
complete year of 1925 will be the
largest in the history of the business.
SALES GREATER.
The total TO date is 16 IL per cent
higher than the similar period in 1924
which was the second largest year in
the business.
Sales this fall have been exception
al. November was 50 per cent over the
eleventh month a year ago. The out
standing reason for this growth in the
opinion Of the motor trade has been
the fact that the prices Of vehicles are
the lowest that have ever obtained.
Marked manufacturing economies
have been made this season particu
larry in closed bodies with the result
that better cars have been offered for
less money than ever before.

YEARS OUTPUT
Of CHEVROLET
100000

Chevrolet Motor Company will estab-
lish a new record for the entire auto.
motive industry by attaining a pro-
duction during the year 1925 of more
than 100000 passenger cars and
trucks, according to the Ormsby Chew
rolet Company.
This production for a single gear
never before has been approached by
any other manufacturer of selectivc
transmission automobiles. This year
Chevrolet will exceed its previous rec.
ord production by 10000 cars.
The achievement of a half million
production in a single year eliminates
series Of records set by the Chevro-
let Motor Company during 1925.
Among these was the building Of the
two millionth Chevrolet, which came
early in September from the assembly
lines of the central factory at Flint,
Mich. This record production of
100000 cars has been achieved by
no other manufacturer Of three speed
transmission automobiles.
RECORD MONTHS.
The half million Chevrolet total for
this year represents a greater number
Of units than was built by the COM
pany during the entire first eight years
Of It's existence. Chevrolet's total pro-
duction TO date is greater than the
number Of cars built by all automobile
companies during the first twenty
years of the industry.
The phenomenal 1925 total is the
result Of a series OF record-breaking
months, during which production con-
sistently remained far above the pre-
yious marks for corresponding periods
in other years. Month after month
tentative production schedules proved
inadequate to the requirements Of the
Chevrolet sales department. Ignoring
previous seasonable declines. public de-
mand continued undated through the
autumn and into the winter. The ten
tative production schedules were in
creased and the factories then proceed
ed to surpass even the revised sched-
ules.
GREAT PROSPERITY.
W. 8. Knudsen, president Of the
Chevrolet Motor Company, attributes
the company's increased success dur.
ing the year to three major factors.
"0ne factor is the greater prosperity
Of the country bringing a consequent
growth in the market for our prod
uct," he said. Another is the degree
to which the closed car has eliminated
seasonable buying. A third and equal
ly important factor is the policy Of the
company in constantly improving the
Chevrolet and in passing on to the
purchaser the benefit OF manufacture
ing economies rendered possible only
by tremendous production"

under their own power by special rep
resentatives of the distributors and
dealers, says the Embleton Motor Com

MEET DEMAND.
I'm order to meet the heavy demand
for Moon and Diana cars in Florida
and to cooperate fully with our dis
tributor and dealer organization there
rs wen as to meet the freight embargo
situation in Florida, the Moon Motor
Car Company has established ware
house at Douglas, Ga, this warehouse
being large daylight plant all on one
floor and sufficiently large for the
storage of 500 Moon and Diana cars.
This arrangement enables the larger
distributors TO drive out a large num-
Der of cars and the smaller dealers TO
drive out one. two or more cars as they
need them. Road conditions between
Douglas. Ca, and the various Florida
points, due to the great improvements
made in the past year are very good
indeed, and is sitally important
thing in keeping the automobiles which
are driven into Florida undeY their
own power, in good condition. In
order to make sure that the Moon and
Diana cars are received at the dis
tributors and dealers showrooms in
perfect condition we have issued spe-
cific instructions to the manager OF
our Douglas, Ca, warehouse TO use
every possible care in handling these
cars and to urge the special repre-
sentatives of the distributors and deal
ers who call for the cars at the ware
house TO drive the cars carefully so
that the owners and prospective own
ers will see them in the best possible
condition.
