OLDSMOBILE

With but 10 months OF 1928 elapsed
50 per cent more Oldsmobiles have
been shipped from the factory than
during the entire IL months of 1927.
factory officials This high
record is doubly significant IN view
Of the fact that OldSmobile has been
making consisten increases for the
past three years and 1927 was the
company's best year.
From January / to the end OF Oc-
tober, this year, more than $4,000
:. Oldsmobiles have been shipped to
dealers, the official report continues.
The October shipments totsled near
ly 1000 cars.
Retail sales are reported 10 show
equally great increases. The latest
figures for retail sales compiled arc
for the first nine months of the
wear, during which time the domestic
sales were sc per cent greater than
during the same nine months in 1927.
Although several new buildings

when they are subjected and an ad-

front hubs have been equipped with
taper roller bearings making them
easily accessible and lessenlng the
number Of adjustments necessary.
In the steering mechanism, two
roller thrust bearings, n above and
one below, take up the thrust Of the
steering worm. A roller thrust bear
ing on the spindle bolts also adds TO
the ease Of steering.
Through the use OF diversified ball
bearings inside the sEmature, the et-
fieiency and life Of the generator
have been increased. These armature
bearings are immersed in oil, being
encased in : reservoir holding a SUI
ficient quantity Of oil to last q year
Because of this construction the pos
sibility of any oil working into the
commutator and mpairing the opera
tion of the generator is entirely elm
mated.
In the transmission, roller bear
ings are used TO carry the counter
shaft because of their a~dsptability to
the carrying Of radial loads such as
those to which this shaft is sub
jected. For the same reason a roller
bearing is used in the connection be-
tween spine and drive shafts, and
thse shafts in turn r~evolye on ball
bearings. A ball thrust bearing Is
used for disengaging the clutch ana
the front ends Of the clutch shaft Is
carried in a rsdial ball bearing in the
fly wheel.
The liberal skillful application OF
frictionless bearings throughout,
strikingly demonstrates the high
degree OF engineering skill applied
in the designing and building Of the
new Model A. Ford car.

and agriculture is called by some de-.
Capitalization of industry.
I would not suggest that manufac.
turing institutions move from the
cities to the small villages, but I do
think it would be better for this coun-
try for future industries to be placed
in these small villages rather than
to be further congested in the great
centers. This would in part also be
a solution Of our labor problem. The
bringing of industries to small vii.
lagos increases the market for agri.
cultural products, gives employment
to surplus labor, elevates the stand
ards of living, increases public reve-
nue., reduces taxes and vastly increases
educational facilities.

Twelve years ago Kingsport, Ten.

thousand. Great industries like a
large camera company, a big cement
plant and a number of other indus
tries were located there partly through
the influence of an outstanding New
York business man. In a little more

seems to me a real remedy for
small communities and also for
.lture. This remedy, which is
mixing OF industry with agricul-
e, is now being applied in many To-
calities with satisfactory results.
Industry and agriculture are better
balanced in Ohio, North Carolina and
Pennsylvania than in any other states
of the Union, and in these states
there is no serious agricultural prob
lem and we hear little complaint from
the farmers. This mixing of industry
