COMBINATIONS
IN AUTO FIELD
CLOSING RANKS

Since the birth of the automotiva
industry about 800 motor car COM
panieS have gone out of business.
The golden harvest their sponsors
expected to realize, for one reason
or another did not materialize, and
they were forced to give up the bust
ness ghost,
Today only 80 passenger car makers
are operating, counting the largest
corporation as single unit
Offhand it would seem that the
minimum number had arrived, but
there are reasons to believe that be-
fore the end of 1928, and possibly
by the beginning of that year, the
number will be still further reduced
by combining several companies un-
der one management, according TO
B. H. Cram, president of Grams Au-
tomotive Reports, Inc, industry au-
thority.
Any combination now in the
making or which might eventuate III

strong financially, aggressive from a
selling standpoint and that seem to
enjoy the continuous favor of the
public.
From time to time one or more Of
the so-called independents" is NON
toned as candidate for a possible
combination. A flat denial llas h..
ways followed such rumors, but it
cannot be denied that a combination
of these large companies would be
a very powerful one At present each
is Jealous of it's individual prestige
and none has as yet felt the pressure
of more weighty competition.
Lastly, there are a number of
smaller producers who have been
fighting for their place in the sun
of public favor Some have done
very well from a financial standpoint
on limited production basis. Others
have not done quite so we'll, but have
possibilities should business pick up
next year.
All these companies are now COM
peting against one another and the
big producers as well. In time one
or more is sure to drop out Of the
race.
This group contains the logical nu-
cleus for merger.
Such a step, it is generally believed,
would probably be advantageous to all
concerned.
The factories included could,
through centralized purchasing facil-
tiles, buy to better advantage of profit
pef unit and also be in a. STRONGER
position in case it became necessary
to reduce prices to meet competition.
Interchange of ideas between pro-
Douglas daily dispatch., 1927-12-11

duction executives would be instru-
mental in cutting costs.
And likewise, conferences between
the sales executives would result in
more carefully planed sales cam
paigns for all concerned.
Such a combination, If properly
financed, would probably go a long
way toward greater stabilization of
the industry, even if it had to go to
the extent of eventually eliminating
one or more makes taken into the
fold
Any combination involving makes
of cars ranging from :ow to high
priced ones would give hundreds Of
dealers a long-looked~fo opportunity
to sell complete line of cars. 1t
would bring large number Of deal
ers under one banner affording to
each factory in the combination an
additional outlet for its particular
product
A stronger offensive backed by a
full line of cars would lessen COM
petition all around, both for factories
and for dealers involved.
Should such a combination come to
pass, the way might be left open for
newcomers into the passenger car
business, but it is hardly likely that
anyone who is watching the trend
of affairs will be bold enough to enter
the manufacturing field on large
scale.

dergo hardships such as few explor-
ers have ever faced. Those who ex-
plore far into the desert regions will
have difficulties to face that never
confronted the average explorer. In
tense heat, intense cold, lack of water
supply, elements that are absolutely
essential to man, will have to be met
on journeys into the now lightly ex-
plored spots of the world.
The men who attempt to explore
these regions will have to be differ
ent type of explorer from those of the
old days. They will be more the type
of Peary and Amundsen and Lind
berg. But the work is there for
anybody of that type who thinks that
he would like to find out something
that isn't known.
Alexander, Caesar and Hannibal de-
plored the fact that they had no more
worlds to conquer. That was many
centuries ago, but there are still
places that have remained unconquer-
able. 1t only remains for the new
type Of explorer to make them known
to the world.

Another Person Is Interested In The
Dairying Question that Confronts
TLo Earu,orc Of Carraff County


To the Editor of The Republican.
l have been reading up on the let
tiers written by different persons on
the subject of the proposed new milk
and cream station that may be estab-
lished in Oakland, and I would like
room in this weeks Republican for
these few lines.
1, perhaps as well as anyone, am in
terested in dairying in Garrett coun-
ty. Another milk and cream station
to operate in opposition to the pres
emit creamery should make good prices
for milk, cream and milk products. If
l understand things rightly, the man.
ager of the Oakland Creamery has
been on the job for eight years and
during all these eight years he has
been working hard to get the farmers
of Garrett county to get their barns
in more sanitary condition and then
they would have the right to expect
more money for the milk they sell
to the creamery.
Would it be fair to pay one person
fifty cents a gallon for his milk that
would pass all inspections and come
out as A No. 1 grade, and pay another
man fifty cents for gallon of his
milk that would not pass any inspec-
ton at all? If the farmers in Gar
rett county can get down to business
and put their dairy barns in sani-
tary condition for this new milk and
cream station, why could they not do
the same for the Oakland Creamery
Company, which amounted to very
little before the present manager ar
rived here to take charge?
1t may be said that he built the
trade up that they now have, and If
the farmers and dairy men of the
county would have co-operated with
him they would have had market
for all of their milk and cream and
would have been getting good price
for it.
am not talking for the Oakland
Creamery, nor am knocking the new
plant (proposed), but it seems to me
that it is a little one-sided. Consider
both sides of the thing and see for
yourself. Are you giving the Oak
land Creamery Company a square
deal? Z. M. b.

1T is NOT ALWAYS SIZE

Friendsville, Garrett county, held a
Chautauqua last week, which was en-
joyed very much. Many people went
from Accident so that they might get
the benefit of the entertainments and
word has come from Friendsville that
the citizens of that town have already
guaranteed its return next season.
Friendsville has a population of six
hundred or seven hundred souls, yet
they are able to make it profitable for
Chautauquas to be held there.
Oakland's population is approx
mately 1000, but we have not been
able to support Chautauqua here for
the past two or three years except at
the expense of the guarantors in a
considerable sum. The reason is that
there is not sufficient interest shown
for real good entertainment, and when
we make this statement it is not in
tended as knock on our home town,
but is a statement of fact that can be
borne out by the guarantors of the
two Chautauquas that made stand
here three and two years ago.
When a town of 600 can support a
Chautauqua and one Of 1000 appar-
emily cannot do so, there is something
wrong somewhere. Friendsville is to
be congratulated and her people COM
mended.

JAMES LLOYD FRAK Err.

James Lloyd Fraker, only son OF
Rev. and Mrs. C. w. Fraker, departed
this life July 10, short time after
the midnight hour, being i'll but a
short time. He was aged 20 years, 10
months and 16 days. He united with
the U. B. church at the age of II
years and was an active member at
the time of his death. He was very
much interested in the young peoples
work, and at various meetings spoke
to them about living the better life.
While the parting was almost too sad
to endure, we have the assurance that
some sweet day we shall be united
where there will be no heartaches and
no goodbyes. He is survived by his
parents and grandfather and by
host of other relatives and friends.
The funeral was conducted in the u.
B. church at McHenry on July II by
Rev. F. L. Fultz. The pallbearers were
Arley Winters, Will McRobie, Boyd
Paugh, Ralph Dawson, Robert Miller,
Gordon McRobie. The honorary pail
bearers were members of his Sunday
school class, namely: Arthur and Paul
Savage, Walter and John Bowman,
Webster Brenneman, Edward Glot-
felty. The flower bearers were Mar
garet and Catharine Sebold, Pauline
and Verna Savage, Effie, Annabelle,
Margaret and Mabel Glotfelty, Bess
Griffith, Mary Schmidt, Helen Dewitt
and Mary Jeffries. Interment was
made in the Flatwoods cemetery, near
McHenry, where the body was buried
by the side of a brother whose death
occurred eight weeks preceding.

STILL WORLDSTOCONQUER

There are still plenty of places left
for the ambitious explorer, accord
ing to a recent news article in which
it stated that parts of Canada, and
neighboring islands, parts of Africa,
the South Polar regions, the North
Polar spaces, and all of the great
deserts still remained practically I'M
known as to their geography, forms
of life, etc.
The spots that remain UNEMPLOYED
are of such character that only those
people who are willing to stand hard
ship and possible death in their search
for new things, will be the conquerors
of the now little-known regions. Peo-
pie of such character, however, are
mighty few.
When Columbus set out on his voy-
age he didn't know where he was 60
ing, and it required courage for him
to start, but he at least had the as
surance that he would be kept warm,
would be clothed and had a sufficient
supply of food at hand for himelf and
his crew. When the Norsemen came
down from their country in search Of
new lands they had the same assur-
ance.

regions accurately will have to un-

ALDEN CLAREY WILT.

In sad but loving remembrance of
Alden C. Wilt, born August II, 1878;
departed this life July Is, 1927, aged
SO years, 10 months and % days. Mr..
Wilt had been to Piedmont the day
prior to his death and had returned
home in the evening. He had retired
with unusually good health, but the
Death Angel saw fit to take him away
before the dawning of another day.
His sudden death was a great shock
to his many neighbors and friends as
well as to the members of his family.
Oh! may the Great Physician heal the
wounds which death has made, for He
has promised to never forsake US and
to give grace sufficient to bear our
burdens.
His funeral was conducted on the
Sunday following his death, the SER
vices being conducted at his late home
by Rev. Burke, pastor of the M. E.
church at Beryl, w. Va. His remains

He was born and lived his entire life
at Frankville, Md. In his early life
he was united in marriage with Lulu
Pritts. To this union twelve children
were born-six boys and six girls, two
of whom preceded him to the great
beyond. Besides his wife those sur
viving are: Mrs. Goldie Umstot, Pied

heaven, where loved ones meet again.

ADVERTISING PAYS.

Edison r. Waite, of Shawnee, Okla
homa, has made some timely state
ments about the value of newspapers
and newspaper advertising to the bus
mess men and people of communities:
Newspapers are the great leaders
that aid most in city's ambitions,
growth and progress.
"They are read by every family.
"They should have the confidence
and support of all the people.
"Their advertising columns are a
reliable servant of all buyers and sell
lers.
"The old saying, There is no form
of advertising as good as newspaper
advertising,' is as true today as it
ever was and will remain true for all
time to come.
Business concerns should never
forget what a tremendous service they
render the public.
"Well written advertisements have
a world of meaning to the buyer.
"The up-to-date merchandiser al
ways advertises that which the time
and trade requires.
Buyers know that they can depend
on the offerings made by the consis-
tent advertiser"
That advertising pays is an old,
tried and true principle. Try it and
see.

STRUGGLING ALONG

The Oakland Boys Band has been
struggling along in remarkable
manner, taking into consideration the
fact that no financial aid or word of
encouragement has been offered in
any way to either the director, R. R.
Gilbert, or the boys who make up the
organization.
In spite of the progress that has
been made, Mr.. Gilbert is not salts
fled, and he shouldn't be. When he
spends his time with the boys and
furnishes the money for light bills,
music, reeds for clarinets, and other
incidentals, it isn't any wonder that
he wouldn't be satisfied.
What he hates the worst, is the
fact that his pupils must be made to
play upon old instruments whose
last mellow and correct tone depart
ed several years ago. To get nothing
but discords out of a horn in which
the boy put in perfectly good
breath, is enough to discourage both
the instructor and pupil. But they
are not discouraged, merely dissatis-
fled, and there will be dissatisfaction
until better instruments are provid-
ed for the boys to play upon.
"Give me the right Instruments,
Mr.. Gilbert said, "and will guaran-
tee that the boys will be able to play
them" That seems to be the fix, and
unless an organization is formed
that will back the boys in spirit and
in financial aid, the band is going to
have a hard row to hoe.

the end. But those dear eyes are
closed; those dear arms will no more
enfold her loved ones this side the
Valley of the Shadow.
An angel came to visit US; we knew
that only after she had gone. Within
his wings of darkness death enveloped
her pure spirit, bore it away to dwell
forever with her dear ones gone be-
fore. Throngs of friends arrived
from east and west, testifying by
their presence the loving esteem she
implanted in every heart.
The community of St. Peters has
lost loving sister. This generation
will have passed before she is forgot
ten. May she rest in peace.

LUTHERAN DAY TO AGAIN
BE OBSERVED AT MT. LAKE
With a Full Days Program of
Addresses, Music and Good
Fellowship, August 18th.

Lutheran Day, day for the pur-
pose Of fellowship and recreation of
Lutherans of Garrett county and near
by communities, will again be estab-
lished at Mountain Lake Park next
Thursday, August 11th, according to
the announcement appearing in the
Park program and following a resolu-
ton recently adopted by the represen-
tatives of the church in convention at
Clarksburg, West Va, during the first
weeks in June. Rev. C. A. Shilke,
pastor of St. Marks Lutheran church,
Oakland, is chairman of the commit
tee having the matter in charge.
The address of the day will be made
by Rev. R. T. Vorberg, D. D., pastor
of Trinity Lutheran church, Keyser,
West Va. Greetings will be brought
by Rev. W. P. Kline, of Fairmont, who
is president of the West Virginia
Synod. Rev. D. M. Funk, of Morgan
town, formerly pastor of the Oakland
church, will also have part in the
program. A special anthem will be
sung by the choir of the Keyser Luth-
eran church.
A Lutheran Day was part of the
annual program of the activities of
Mountain Lake Park for many years,
but was discontinued several years
ago, and with the reestablishment of
the day again this year it is expected
that hereafter it will become an an
nual event.

A Tribute to the Late Mrs. John
w. MarOney.

Mrs. John w. Maroney was one of
the most endearing of Gods creatures
"a rare soul-unconsciously loving
and sweet. No pen can portray the
tender motherliness with which she
received all who approached. She i'm
pressed all with whom she came in
contact with feeling of serene peace
which became peculiarly contagious
from her still, quiet conscience-the
peace which is above all earthly digni-
ties. Small insincerities, even large
ones, had no power to chill her affec-
tionate heart. To saint and sinner
alike she was as tenderly charitable
as is the Saviour. Was there friend
down with a dangerous illness, she
was found present at the bedside with
her willing, helping hands; was there
sadness and death she was found be-
side the casket, and with her prayers
and tender words of comfort striving
to stay the despair and tears of the
sorrowing mourners. Called upon by
death to endure sad losses in her own
family, while sinking beneath the bit
ter cross of a bereaved mother and
wife, it became her sorrowful mission
to comfort and sustain her afflicted
and stricken children as only a low
ing mother can. Though growing
weaker for months from poor health,
she kept going with her heroic pa
thence, with her tender smile at deaths
approaching shadows undimned to
