SOlomon's wealth was in land and

The sweet singer and ruler of Isreal

bile shows that it has been neces-
sary for the factory in indianapolis
to increase it's production schedule
to a substantial extent.
Success of the full line of Mar
mon cars at the national automo-
bile shows in New York and Chicago
as well as at the scores of local dis
plays throughout the country has
been in part responsible for this
Following the record number of
orders received at these shows, the
Marmon factory is operating on a
schedule of better than 100 cars a
day and overtime shifts are being
operated to increase facilities for an
even larger output.
Interest Runs High
With public interest in the Mar.
mon line at high pitch the Marmon
distributor an ddealer organization
is expanding.
1t is pointed out that the present
daily output of the Marmon factory
alone exceeds the combined produc-
ton of several automobile factories
when Indianapolis was considered
the second largest automobile pro-
ducing center in the country.
Since Jan. 1, nearly 200 new dis
tributors and dealers have been
added to the Marmon sales organi.
