ASKOV

Chr. Sandahl has been on the
sick list the past week but is
slowly improving.
Olaf Petersen, the shoemaker,
was a business caller in the Twin
Cities Thursday of last week.
Niels M. Mortensen who is
employed in Minneapolis, visited
at his home here over the Easter
holidays.
John Prather from up Bruno
way, bought a used Ford car at
the Askov Garage the first of
this week.
John Thinesen purchased a
used Ford touring car from the
Askov Hardware Company the
first of this week.
Chr. Back came up from. Min
neapolis last week for a visit
at the L. Mosbak home and to
recuperate, having been in i'll
health for some time.
A representative of the To
ledo Scale Company was in Askov
Tuesday and installed a fine
modern electric scale at the
Askov Mercantile Co. store.
Peter Thomson returned home
Tuesday morning from Racine,
Wis, where he has been working
the past winter. He visited
friends in Chicago for a week
just before coming home.
The Askov Garage made an
other fine improvement this
week when they installed an au-
tomato electric switch on their
air tank; this insures free air at
all times at their place, and
plenty of it. Come and help
yourself, they say.
Mr.. and Mrs. Johannes Soren-
sensen were called to Minneapolis
Friday on account of the serious
illness of their daughter, Miss
Ragna, who recently underwent
an operation for inflammation in
in one ear. Mr.. Sorensen re-
turned the following day while
Mrs. Sorensen is still there, Miss
Ragna's condition being quite
serious.
Mr.. and Mrs. Marius Hansen
arrived back in Askov a few days
later than was expected, coming
here Tuesday. They are very
loud in their praises of conditions
and climate in Oregon. While
there they visited the Jens Lund
family and other former Askov
residents; they also visited at
Enumclaw, Wash, and with the
Axel A. Jensen family at East
sound; the latter place is located
on an island and is an ideal place.
All the former Askov residents
out there send regards to old
friends here. Mr.. and Mrs. Han
sen are again located in their
residence in the west part of the
village and Mr.. Hansen will likely
do mason work here this summer.

by advertising and high pressure
selling: The basic thing was the de-
| sire IN the breasts Of men-the
yearning to find swifter and more
efficient means Of locomotion than
their own clumsy legs. Without that,
no artificial stimulus could have sold
| the 100000 vehicles which are
now on the highways of America.
Unlike the train or the street car,
the automobile gives individual trans
portation. free from the routine and
tnf1exible routes Of other carriers. The
automobile is sensitive to the chang
ing whims Of the individual.
Because whole families desire auto
mobiles. the industry has for years
been not only setting new high rec
ords. but has also been refuting the
advance predictions of pessimistic
critics. The feared saturation point
has been a bugaboo that has never
been reached. The industry now feels
that there is less danger Of saturation
IN the matter Of the purchasing power
OF the people than in the capacity of
the streets and open highways to &C.
commodate cars.
AS the industry settles down. there
Is a tendency for the larger units to
produce an increasing proportion of
the total output. Those on the margin
are being pushed harder than ever,
and. IN 1927, according to trade opin.
ion. the competition will be more ruth.
less than ever before.
The industry is searching for new
lures to keep sales up. After the war
henry Ford suggested the first great
incentive by a policy Of price cutting.
The next chief allurement was the
adoption Of the partial payment plan,
which widened the group capable of
buying cars.

MEN AND MONEY
By M. S. Rukeyser.
(Copyright. 1880 =

The chief development of the year
in the automotive industry has been
the relatively larger role played by
the General Motors Corporation,
which in this period has raised It's
production from 20 per cent to nearly
28 per cent of the total output Oh
all companies.
| Behind the dramatic squirt OF the
CORPORATION has been the spectacular
growth of its Chevrolet unit. This
unit sold 1857 cars in the depressed
year of 1921, 5.456 in 1924 ana 400, ;.

| Is estimated that sales Will reacn
| $751; 900, and the unit is setting a
| goal of 100000 cars as ts ne"
normal.
Back of this statistical record has
been the dynamic personality and
driving power of r. II. Grant. the
| general sales manager of the Chevro-
let unit. H.,
Mr.. Grant by his record has Vlnoi-
| Gated the newer scientific approach
| to salesmanship. He has q great re-

| tive to ADOPT them. He did so years
ago while he was with the National
Cash Register Co. where he estab-
lished a brilliant record as a teacher
of statesmen and a market analyst.
Built Up Delco Firm.
After leaving National Cash Reg is
ter Mr.. Grant became chief executive
of the Delco Light Co., a General
Motors unit, with which he remained
| until 1924, when he took charge of
Chevrolet sales. In Delco Light Mr..
Grant enhanced his reputation by
building up a Nationwide sales or
ganization for the distribution OF
farm lighting plants and refrigera-
| ton machines.
In his direction Of Chevrolet sales.
| Mr.. Grant has adopted the National
| Cash Register idea of frequent con-
ventions of statesmen. The automo-
bile dealers. however, are so numer'
| Gus that it has been impractical to
bring them together under a single
| roof. Accordingly, Mr.. Grant each
year develops a road show embody-
! ing his sales program, starting II IN
| New York in January and gradually
moving it westward to the Pacihc
Coast.
Mr.. Grant was graduated from
Harvard University in 1901. He was
born in Ipswich. Mass. in 1873.

worked in a Boston department store,
and then entered the employ of the
New England Telephone and Tele-

for two years. In 1904 he Joined the
