POWER GASOLINE
READY FOR WORK
IN POLE FLIGHT

Los ANGELES, Mar. 13-Its long
.ionrney-by land, water and air
ended at Point Barrow the far
Detroit Aviation society's aerial
polar expedition, the Richfield
gasoline of power is now ready
to do its powerful bit when the dar-
ing explorers hop off i'll their mono
planes for the "top o. the world. -
News that part of the consign
mcnt of 5000 gallons of Richfield
gasoline, shipped north for exclusive
use Of the Arctic flight, had arriv-
ed at Point Barrow from Tolovana,
Alaska, was received here yesterday
by G. NJ. Fuller, president of the
Richficld Oil company, an ardent
booster Of the newest Polar attempt.
The gasoline for the take off was
transported by one of the planes to
Point Barrow from Tolovana, part
of it, however, being left at the lat
ter point for an emergency fuel de-
pot.
The plan of Capt. Hubert wilkins
and his party of veteran explorers,
according to the wire received bv
the Richfield executive, calls for Il
1900 mile nonstop flight from Point
Barrow over the North Pole and
with the town of Spitzbergcn (on
the other side of the earth) as their
objective. 1t is anticipated that the
socalled ''ice pole will be located
and photographed.
In the event, however, that new
land is sighted, Captain wilkins in
tends to drop American flags on it
and photograph it from the air. One
of the planes will then go back for
reserve gasoline and supplies and
land on the new territory to take
possession for the United States and
to establish a supply depot.
Officials of Richficld have been
fairly flooded with letters and tele-
grams Of congratulations since it
became known that Detroit engin-
GERS, in the heart of the motor max
ing industry, had chosen this Cali
forna made fuel rs exclusive gaso-
line for the attempt to fly over the

DURAM MANAGER
SEES Big YEAR
FOR AUTO SALES

'The automobile business through
out our western territory is showing
unprecedented possibilities for our
greatest year in 1896" according to
a letter written by Norman DeNaux
vice president and general manager
of the Durant Motor Company of
California to Ford NJ Smith, local
manager for w. l.. Huebner, Star
car dealer, upon his return from a
complete tour of the Pacific north
west to Oakland.
DeNaux, according to Smith, has
covered over 10000 miles in travel
all over the country since January
of the this year, and has fortified
himself with first hand information
regarding the trade in all localities.
His itinerary has included two round
trips between Oakland, California,
and New York and eastern manu-
featuring centerS, two trips into
Southern California, and several
" local trips in California in addi-
tion to the swing of several thous-
and miles just completed in Oregon,
Washington and Idaho.
''Thc entire northwest is in II
spirit of optimism for f1tGrc bust
ness - the letter continues, land
we are looking forward throughout
the west to Il great business in Star
four and six cylinder ears. Our
dealers universally report wide in
tcrcst in the purchase of new auto
mobiles, and that with the opening
of the spring touring and buying
season in the northwest, buyiug will
be heavy. This buying wave has al
ready opened in California with
great force.
Signing of the tax bill, rcduc-
ing the motor car tax from > to )
per cent, has had a marked effect
on new cars sales, and we, who
were among The first to Voluntarily
accept this reduction ourselves. have
materially benefited from this ac-
tion.
''Our factory is building the new
ears as rapidly as possible, and as
yet We are unable to make suffi-
cient deliveries in some points.

AUTO INDUSTRY
SHOWS SURVIVAL
OF THE FITTEST'

Approximately 800 makes of auto.
! mobiles which have come to the
American market with promises of
great value. dcpcndability and long
service are now all but forgotten.
Twenty five years ago practical
lv all manufacturers of automo-
biles were nothing more than assem-
blers. They purchased motors
bodies, tops, axles, etc, from parts
makers who were the manufact tlircrS
! in reality. Some few makers main
tanned shops in which they machin-
ed castings and forgings purchased
outside.
On this basis is was easy to be-
come an automobile manufactur-
er,' and more than 800 makes of
automobiles have had their dav in
the American market and disap-
pcared. They are today represent
ed by more than 10000 ''orphan
cars with practically no resale
value in the hands of the public
In 1922, the New York national
automobile show displayed Sc makes
of ears. During the following year
this was reduced to 66. In 1924 IL
further reduction to 81 makes was
noted. At the recent New York
show this number had shrunk to 30.
From the standpoint Of the pub
lie, this decreasing number of auto
mobile makers prompts more careful
consideration of not only what is in
a makers ear. but also what is
behind the product.
Makers who cannot manufacture
economically because of inadequate
facilities, who are forced to buy
many or most parts from parts MAX
ers. necessarily are confronted with
obstacles which make difficult com
petition, with manufacturers equip
ped to produce ears ON one profit
basis, such us Ford and Studcbakcr.
With several ears selling at about
the same. price, obviously that man,
ufacturer can give most quality of
materials and workmanship who in
cludcs in his costs the least amount
of profits paid out to parts makers
who can use that profit, instead, to
'u. btltcI nidttIldlS, Dtlttf WORK
manship.
To build car complete calls for
vast plants, vast equipment, which
cost huge sums of money, far be
vond the reach of the small maker.
y matter of $l0,000,000 to $4,000
600 investment is wholly inadequate.
1t requires S7J,000,000 in plant
equipment and 100000 of as
sets in all to produce Studcbakcr>
in quantity.
Approximately 90 per cent of cars
sold last year were made by the L.
largest makers. Many of the others
were custom built ears of limited
production at high prices and do
not enter into the picture us viewed
by the great bulk of buyers.
Which leads to the thought: how
many makes will be displayed at the
national show at the end of 1926
What ears now on the streets will
be orphaned, without service or re-
pair facilities?
