TRUCK MAKERS
OWN WIRELESS
Plants of Graham Brothers
Linked by Air.

The manufacturers of Graham
Brothers trucks, in Detroit, operate
one of less than a score of private
radio plants for transmitting and
receiving radiograms in the United
States. This company sends be-
tween 1000 and 5000 messages a
month and receives between 1000
and 1900 over the same period.
The business is restricted to inter-
company messages between the De-
troit headquarters factory and the
Evansville Gnd) plant.
Construction of the radio station
was begun in December, 1925, but it
was not opened officially and put
into daily use until March, 1926.
The wireless plant comprising
WJF, Detroit, and W.T., Evansville,
has eliminated the necessity of a
private wire between these two
points insofar as the Graham
Brothers truck manufacturers are
concerned and this effects a saving
of many thousands of dollars
throughout the year.
The tolls on the private wire,
which the radio replaced, amounted
to several thousands dollars a
month. Under the wireless ar
rangement the cost is little more
than the salary of the personnel.
The wireless plant has an out
put rating of approximately SOC
watts and operates on a wave
length of 42.83 meters, 1000 kilo-
cycles. Master oscillators, using

DODGE PRODUCTION
WILL BE INCREASED
Flood of Victory Six Orders Make
New Facilities Necessary.

New Facilities Necessary.
Production schedules for the new
Victory Six, recently announced by
Dodge Brothers, are to be materially
increased, according to John r. Lee,
general sales manager, to make pos
sible reasonably prompt filling of
the Geographic orders which are be-
ing received from dealers in con-
stantly increasing volume.
Factory production and sched-
uled allotments for shipment to
dealers during the first three
months of 1928" Lee said, "were
planned in expectation Of a very
generous demand for the new car,
with its advanced engineering fea-
lures.
But the wires asking for i'm
mediate shipment and for increased
allotments indicate that by the end
of January a decided enlargement
of our production plans must be
completed so that all purchasers of
the new Victory Six may be sure of
prompt deliveries.

PRICE WAR IS
DENIED BY CITY
AUTO DEALERS
Local Market Offers Best,
Motor Row
Claim.

Leading indianapolis automobile
dealers discount the idea that the
industry has entered a price war.
Citing the statements of manufac-
turers, made at the recent New York
show, they point out that the term
price war" is exaggerated and much
too sensational to describe adequate
ly the conditions that prevail in the
trade.
They do declare that this is to be
a buyers year" and that never in
the history of the business has so
good an automobile been offered
for the money.
Improvements Are Many
This, they assert, applies to all
class of cars.
All machines have four wheel
brakes and many of the accessories
as regular equipment, they point out
Motors have reached the acme of
perfection in tours, SKIES and Fights.
From paint to upholstery, improve
ments have been made all along the
line, and the one point stressed by
statesmen is to buy now"
Predictions of further price cuts
are termed absurd. Many dealers
point out that the increasing de-
mand may cause an upward trend
in the market and all agree that the
bottom has been reached in pur-
chase prices.
Local Market Complete
Announcements of new prices were
eagerly awaited by buyers and as
usual in falling market, business
was bit slack. Now that all have
been brought forward end new
prices and points of excellence en-
phasized, dealers are of the opinion
that 1928 will prove banner year
for sales.
The local market offers everything
that any prospective motor buyer
would want, all classes and prices
of cars being represented. Orders
are being booked daily and good de-
livery arrangements are being
worked out.

204A, 250-watt tubes, and two of
the same type amplifiers are used in
Detroit and Evansville.
The Detroit station has two sixty
five-foot antennae poles set 125 feet
apart. These stations could reach

license issued by the Government
restricts them to sending messages
for their own business and between
the two stations mentioned.
