Oakland Company in
Record Production

The highest January production in
the history Of the Oakland Motor
Car companny-l TIA Oakland and
Pontiac Sixes.-is being eclipsed by
4 record February production sched-
ule of 1868 cars, it Is announced
by w. r. Tracy. vice president in
charge Of sales.
The extent to which recent plant
expansion at the Oakland and Pom
tiac Six factories have increased
production capacity is revealed by
the following comparison with pro-
duction figures during the corre-
spending months Of previous years:
1926 1927 1928
January .5,785 6.038 1874
February -. $3.50 1854 22,268
1.-THE fact that ou- totals for 9TH
January and February Of this year
exceed by . wide margin the COM
bined 1926 and 1927 production dur
ing those respective months is the
best evidence hat the Oakland Mo-

greater factor in the automobile in.

Quality Leadership
in Light Car Field
Is Accorded Whippet

Well informed automobile men
continue to accord the Whippet the
quality leadership in the light car
field. They base this admission Of
superiority ip the high standard Of
Performance that has made this car
conspicuous in the Whippet field
since it, initial introduction more
than 10 months ago, and by a COM
parison with automobiles Of other
makes selling in the same price field.
More than 10000 of these modern
light four-cylinder cars are now in
the hands Of drivers, it being csti-
mated that they have travelled a
total Of nearly a half billion miles.
Notable records. for speed, power,
stamina. fuel economy and service
ability have been established by the
WhDpet over the 18-month period.
It IS further pointed out that the
Whippet, when it was first intro
duced to the motor car buyers,
embraced certain features in light
car engineering which it was de-
clared would set q new trend in the
type Of the future car in this class.
These features included four-wheel
brakes, low center Of gravity, full
force fabrication, gravity fuel sys-
tenn, oil and fuel economy, greater
power with increased speed range
roomy interiors, greater comfort. and
generally higher standard Of per.
Torrance throughout.
A survey Of the recent models in.
troduced in the light car field dis
close that they have followed the
trend first established by the Whip
pet, embracing certain features, dis
tinctly Whippet. A complete an
alysis, however, discloses that thu
Whippet continues to embrace quail
tiles and features that arc lacking
in other cars selling in the same o.
nearby price class.
The unusual attention that is beinl
riveted on the 1928 line of Whippe
models indicates that these snlar
four-cylinder cars during the comm,
year will overshadow the great pop
ularity they have enjoyed up to thi
time, critical observers declar.
This continued favorable acceptance

SIGNATURES ON
WET PETITIONS
BEING CHECKED
Thomas w. Gales and F. l.,
Watkins Representing N. D.
Anti.Salo0n League

Thomas w. Gales and F. L. Wat
kins, representing the North Dakota
Anti-Saloon League, were here today
checking over the petitions filed by
the Better Citizenship association
which is seeking repeal of the pro-
hibition clause of the state constitu-
ton. The petitions ask. that repeal
of the clause be submitted to a vote
Of the people at the primary election
next June.
Mrs. Elizabeth Preston Anderson,
head Of the state Women's Christian
Temperance Union, who had been ex-
pected to aid in the work of checking
tho petitions, had not arrived in
Bismarck this morning, Gales said,
although he had expected her to be
here.
Both the number Of signatures and
the authenticity of some of the
names may be challenged, Gales said
after he had begun the work of
examining the petitions. A SINH
larity of handwriting leads him to
believe, Gales said, that in some
cases the names of more than one
person were signed by the same
individual. It was particularly APP
parent, he said, that many husbands
apparently took the liberty Of not
only signing their own names but
the names of their wives.
Several Irregularities Found
In some cases, he said, names were
signed on sheets which were not
attached to the petitions and the
secretary of state will be. asked to
reject them. In other cases, he said
the Better Citizenship association
apparently miscounted the number
of names on petitions. The number
of signatures as announced by the
Better Citizenship association wher
the petitions were filed was $4,000
The Anti-Saloon League is not
inclined to fight the vet movement
on technical grounds, Gales said
but expressed the belief that the
petitions should be regular as te
form before they are approved and
the question Of repeating the pro-
hibition clause placed on the ballot
Irregularities in the petitions will
be presented to the executive com.
mittee of the Anti-Saloon League, he
said. and any action which may be
taken to contest them will be directed
by that body. His own belief, he
said, is that irregularities disclosed
by his check will be challenged by q
court action.
Gales said he may bring a stem,
ographer here to copy the name:
signed to the petitions and that the
names may be published or lists sen,
to each county. Many ministers
have asked for copies of the list, hi
said.
Commenting on the plans for con
testing the wet movement, Gale.
said close cooperation has been es
tablished between his organizatio,
and the w. c. T. U. and that joint
| committee of the two organization
probably will direct the dry effort.

Ford Output Is

All the $500 Ford dealers in the
United States have been supplied

have not received their samples it is

however. Its records show that

Women Visitors Are
Interested in Buick

Women visitors at the auto show
will note in the Buick models fol-
1928 the continuation OF q policy -
which Buick has long been devoted,
the adaptation Of its motor cars +
the requirements Of women drivers
as well as OF men.
Few cars on the road today en-.
Joy such universal favor among
women as does Buick. The adop-
ton OF four.wheel brakes, a few
years ago, and its resultant effect
upon the safety OF driving, had its
immediate reflection In extending
Bucks popularity among women,
and since that time Buick has in
augurated numerous reiinements
whose cumulative effect has been to
strengthen its position greatly.
In the models for 1923, refine
ments which appeal to the exacting
feminine driver are particularly nu-
merous. There Is first OF all the
new stylish low swung effect,
achieved by means Of the double
drop frame, without sacrifice OF
head room or read clearance. There
IS new vogue in motor car beauty,
achieved by new colors in lustrOus
DucO and a new. interior treatment.
Comfort OF riding has been mate
rally increased by the addition Of
hydraulic shock absorbers front and
rear on all models, in conjunction
with redesigned cantilever springs.
The same Improvements which
advance cars standing among
women have their effect upon its
position among men. Neither beau-
ty nor comfort is overlooked when
a man is buying q car, particularly
il the same car boasts unusual re-
liability, fine performance. and ex.
IRENE operating ease. Bucks ef.
fort has therefore been to embody III
Its 1923 line all these points, and to
develop them all we'll beyond pres
ent-day standards.
