OLDS NORKMEN
HOLD QUALITY
GUT COSTS
Modern Craftsmen Praised
by Company Head for
Better Product.
By I. j. REUTER-
President and General Manager, Odds
Motor Works.

Undue praise is bestowed on the
craftsman and artisan Of the past,
principally through our tendency to
heap laurel wreaths on the brow of
antiquity without proper knowledge.
If guild workmen of the sixteenth
century were to try to build a present
Oldsmobile, the result would be a car
greatly lacking in accuracy and pre-
cision and selling at fabulous price
instead of less than 5000.
Credit is due these early workmen
for what they accomplished with the
meager equipment of those times. But
it is decidedly unfair to present day
workmen and industrial scientists to
eyalt the craftsmen of the past and
his product 1t can be safely said that
these men in an entire century failed
to bring about economies and better
ments in manufacture as have, for
example, been accomplished by the
Odds Motor Works during the past
year.
In olden times men served long ap-
prenticeships. learning to do as their
elders had done for generations past.
The more progressive sometimes trav-
eled to order cities seeking new meth
DDS. and this was the chief way any
progress was gained. Today corps of
highly trained men are constantly di-
recting experiments and tests. Under
them are skilled workmen who carry
on the actual work. Every day some
thing new is tried and something new
is learned.
The recent introduction by the Odds
Motor Works of the latest Oldsmobile
with added power, beauty and perform
ance at draStically reduced prices is
illustrative Of the vast difference be-
tween crafts of today and yesterday.
Under the ancient system such an ac-
complishment would have been impos-
sible.
For months an enlarged Oldsmobile
engineering staff has been working to-
ward two purposes-one to create i'm
Improvements and the other to reduce
manufacturing costs without the sac
rifice of quality.
MORE POWER.
Unlike their prototypes who strove
10 excel along established lines only,
these craftsmen Of 1925 work on the
assumption that everything can be
improved upon and that every process
can be performed better and more
simply. That which has been proven
good Is 10 them not good enough.

Close students Of boxing point
out that both Britton and gin ems

STYLES and methods in the ring.
They are both aggressive, fairly
good punchers, and hit with enough
vim to register q, knockout. Incl
dentaIly, they are both noted for
their ability to absorb punishme mt
and for their recuperative powers.
Britton has been installed the

is generally believed that, in the
event Of a knockout, Gin VIII
score It.
Britton is taking this match Sc
riousIy. He cannot afford to lose
at the hands Of Gill. in as much as
it may cost him the match with
Champion Harry Greb In Louisville,

star "He wasn't yet over the ef'

recognize me when / stuck my
head around the door. Naturally

pretty little nurse and you can
imagine my surprise when a big
husky pair OF hands came from be-
hind and ordered me away from
his patient.
1.-THE last time / saw Babe play
was in October in a little town near
Los Angeles. He pIrhecd an exhibit
ton game against me and swatted
me for two home runs. The big
fellow looked a lot different today
but I'm sure happy he is getting
well. Our series against the
Yankees lacked the old thrill with
out Babe and our players regretted
his absence"
When asked what the nurse
and the reporters said when they
discovered his identity. the hreO
OF the last world series replied:
None of 'em knew me from
