Graham Brothers Head
Cites Trend of In
creased Business

Business conditions throughout the
country point TO increased sales vol
ume in the truck and commercial car
field this year, according to Howard
Sneathen. director Of commercial car
and truck sales for Dodge Brothers,
inc.
Comfort and appearance are marked
tendencies in the motor truck field,
Mr.. Sneathen points out. Manufac-
turers are building commercial cars
with these features incorporated with
stamina, economy and dependability
usually associated with truck per-
Torrance.
1.-The rapid construction Of paved
roads and wider highways and the
manufacturing facilities to build
trucks or commercial cars particular
ly adapted to every line of business
are awakening executives TO the pos
sibilities Of motor transportation new
err dreamed of before" said Mr..
Sneathen. "For the same reasons,
operators of truck fleets are finding
expansion profitable and necessary in
a competitive market that demands
economy. speed and dependability in
transportation.
truck orders for March this year to-
tailed 4,342, compared to $3.50 for
February, a gain Of 1882 units or 81
per cent. and indicative of the trend
70 increased sales.
Analysis Of new commercial car
and truck registrations shows that
gains or losses in the trade for the
first two months of 1928 compared to
1927 are we'll distributed among agri-
cultural and industrial states. IL
indicates that while some sections Of
the country have dropped behind last
years mark, no depression in any par
ticular industry is evident. Condi-
tions Of this type are far more en-
couraging than il figures revealed a

April Total Exceeds
Highest Month In
Company Annals

April production Of Willys-Knight
and Whippet tours and skies topped
the highest month in the history of
Willys-Overland with q total prodnc-
ton Of $500 cars. This represents
nearly so per cent Of total produc-
tion for the three preceding months,
officials of the company declared
this week in Toledo.
This announcement was made fol-
lowing the company's financial state
ment for the first quarter ending
March 81 which reveals earning of
81. 500. s96.55, after interest but be-
fore federal taxes and special rebate
deductions which we're charged off in
this quarter. This shows an aver
z profit per unit Of production on
the 1868 cars built in this period,
of $50 per car.
The extraordinary charge-off for
the first quarter which covers inven-
tory adjustments and rebates to deal
ers on cars in stock at the time of
the drastic Whippet price cut early
in January, amounts to $1,l55, 320.T2
reducing the net earning transferred
TO surplus to S1,647,575.s3.
Commenting on this statement.
John N. WHY'S, president, said: "The
charge-off to cover dealer rebates
and inventory adjustments obviously
is not a recurring charge and was APP
plicable to car in possession of
dealers and materials and stock on
hand at the time of the Whippet
price cut. Before this charge the
profit per car was $50.
with a rapidly rising production
schedule which is absorbing overhead
faster than cost sheet estimates. the
per car profit is naturally rising.

though the county commissioners
will not decide the location of the

gathered, Harry Rosenthal, chair
man of the committee which spon-

Bismarck will be chosen because 1t
is the county seat, because the me-

drive for the memorial funds, Rosen-

the memorial fund for building at
Regan. The Re~an group will con
tinue their effort to secure the me-
mortal, Rosenthal said.
The $21 900, which will be levied
this year for the fund, will not be
enough to build the basement of the
planned $4,000 community and con-
