GOOD DRIVERS

Are women drivers less careful
than men?
Do they get into more accidents
while at the wheels or automobiles?
The question has been under gem
eral discussion in the United States
recently because Of a widely reported
statement from German professor
that in his experience women were
more liable to automobile collisions
than men.
Officials at the Chrysler Corpora
ton factories are on the side Of
the women in this matter.
From all the reports that reach
us about performance Of our cars
in the hands Of their owners-and
we get q great many of tiaem-there
Is only one answer possible from our
point Of view TO such q question, .
said J.. w. Frazer, sales manager OF
the ChrysIer Sales Corporation, $50
far as ChrysIer drivers are cor.
cerned, women do not meet with any
Extraordinarily great number Of
accidents.
The reason Is plain to our minds.
It Is found in the exceptional driving
characteristics OF the Chrysler car,
IN its unusual ability for quick get
away and quick stopping.
There are two main causes for
automobile accidents -oue IL that q
driver can not get out of the way Of
something that threatens to hit his;
car, the other Is that driver cannot
stop quickly enough TO avoid hitting
something or some person with his
car

back in the position which he once
held IN the industry.
To those who really know the
facts. however. Henry Ford is still
a most formidable factor in the
manufacture and merchandising OF
automobiles. and the organization
and equipment at his disposal is
such that he can build motor car
second to none. and sell it at q
price.
His tremendous factories. which
are the most modern and complete
in the world. are equipped so as to
produce quality at the lowest pos
sible cost. Nothing but the finest
of materials are used. and as a
result of his precision production
facilities, the human element Of
error is so nearly eliminated. that
his product is really standard.
Owns Whole Process
The process begins with the treat
ment Of his raw materials supplied
from his own iron mines and forests.
and transported by his own railroad
and steamship lines, which, in turn,
are fueled from his own coal mines.
Henry Ford. as a result, Is today
making the finest Of steel. He is
making his own wire wheels. his
own tires, his own batteries, his own
upholstery. his own glass, his own
wire, his own steering wheels, his
own bodies; in fact, practically
everything that Is needed in the
manufacture of his automobiles. And
It is being done at q cost which
permits Of continual development.
True, his production and sales are
lower today than they were several
months ago, but this b also true
of the industry as q whole. Then
again. Is there q possibility that Mr..
Folei might be holding down his
production and sales efforts. so that
his dealer organization will be ready
and able to market his future"
product?
1t is definitely known that during
the recent slump period, Ford
dealers were advised to sacrifice
new car sales, rather than trade at
a loss. During the same period,
other manufacturers were pushing
sales, and their dealer organizations
were helping pile up the greatest
used car inventory" in the history
OF the INDUSTRY.
Second Hand Cars Pile Up
Today surveys show that nearly
all dealer organizations are loaded
with second-h hand cars-millions OF
them old Fords which may soon be.
come obsolete while Ford dealers
nearly everywhere are carrying the
lowest new car and used car stocks
In the history of their business.
Naturally. Henry Ford's present
activities are having their effec;
upon the entire industry and busI.
ness generally. He realizes this and
Is going about his business as quietly
as possible in the best interests Of
all.
Rumors do no good, and usually
prove widely destructive. The Ford
facts win not be available until
actual arrangements are completed
for the production Of new vehicle.
This time has not yet arrived, and
until then, rumors are meaningless.
The one thing certain, at the mo-
mont. is that Henry Ford is not sit
ting idly by while competitors are
out after the business. He IL doing
things which, when made known, viii
undoubtedly put an entirely different
aspect upon the present automotive
situation. and eventually prove bene-
ficial to the industry as a whole and
the world in general.

PROMINENT ST. CLOUD
BUSINESS MAN DEAD

William M. Fisher, 55, of The
Fisher company, was found dead
at nine o'clock Thursday morning
when Chris ]. Miller, salesman for
The Fisher company, became
worried by his absence from the
office and by the fact that there
was no answer to his repeated tele-
phone calls to the house. The cor
oner's report states that death was
due to apoplexy.
During the years that Mr.. Mil
Ter has been associated with MIR.
Fisher, he has known Mr.. Fisher
to be punctilius in regard to ar
irving at the office at seven o'clock
every morning. When he had not
arrived at 1870 Mr.. Miller tele-
phoned the house. Getting no re-
Spouse he called at intervals until
nine o'clock, when he became al
armed. Going to the Fisher home
at 412 First avenue south, he saw
the car in the garage. He gained
entrance to the home through a
window and, going through the
rooms, found the body of Mr.. Fish
er in the upstairs hall, near a bed
room. The fact that he was fully
dressed indicates that his death
occurred either last evening or
early this morning.
William Fisher was born on
October II, 1872 at Marquette,
Mich, son of Henry and Mary Cos
wald) Fisher, who, in 1888,
brought him to ST. Cloud, where
the father operated the lie Sank
hotel until his death a year later.
William M. received a good public
school education, and took courses
in the st. Cloud State Normal
school.
, He was an accountant for the
California Wine House for five
years, and blockman for the Plano
Manufacturing company for three
years. In 1895 he became connect
ed with The Grinols company. In
1900 he became stakeholder, and
in 1904 bought out the Grinols
interests.
The Fisher company is engaged
in the farm implement and fuel
business.
Mr.: Fisher married Katherine,
the daughter of William and Mary
(Finnigan) O'Brien, and they had
one daughter, Mrs. Myron Henry
(Mary Iucille), who survives.
