MARMON SELLS
CHEAPEST 81
RoosevelS At Less Than
$1,000; Astonishes Mot
oring Public

The accomplishment of Marmon
in offering to the public the first
straight-eight to sell below $1,000
at the factory in the natural re-
suit of concentrated and highly
specialized operations In the eight
cylinder field, extending back 70
early in 1927.
Such Is the answer OF Thomas FL.
Jarrard. Marmon general sales dir
ectcr, to the thousands Of inquiries
received by Marmon distributors
and dealers from motorists who
have followed their inspection Of
the new Roosevelt eight with the
question: How can Marmon do 1t
at the price?"
The Marmon factory. equipped
with new and in many cases spec
tally built machinery. hes been
termed by many automotive author
tiles an ideal "straight-CiEht plant. "
since in entire layout and equip
ment 1t is designed for quantity pro-
duction of straight-eight cars and
no other types, Mr.. Jarrard pointed
out.
Not only Is the Roosevelt an eX-
ample Of concentrated eight-cylin-
der development. but the Mermon

research and practical experience
has enabled Marmon to make avail

"As a matter or fact. when the
Marmon So was introduced in the
$500 price class. IL created CON-
ment of the same sort that has
greeted the Roosevelt. but continued
rec0rd-breaking sales and outstand-

The eight-cvlindcr engine. Of

the heat is not applied externally
as in the past. but internally. The
heat comes from an arc drawn be-
tween the surfaces to be welded.
AS the metal VIII not heat suf-
fic.ently TO weld uniformly except
through the resistance OF the metal
to the flow of current II Is necessary
to have the pieces Of uniform size.
Copper jaws supply the current
to the piece to be welded. The
flashing produces an area Of me-
tai protected from the oxygen in
the air and all other impurities
The forcing or squeezing Of the me-
tai takes place very quickly. An
ingenious tcggle action Of enormous
power completes the process much
more quickly and better than even
a steam hammer could perform il.

Motor company. makes possible the

which no castings are used except
in the motor. which like all other

Tom Harris looked SO
lonely that Mary took
pity on him. The other
girls in the Wall Street Of
flee didn T bother their
heads about him. In the
first place he seemed SO
countrified and so utterly
lacking in small talk.
Compared with Harry
Prentice he seemed quite
out of the running. Harry
was so immaculate. Anyone
in a brokers' office ought
to look well. The man who
appeared with impressed
clothes and shoes that
needed a shine didn't rate.
How Tom ever got into
the office was a mystery.
They all admitted that he
attended strictly to business
and if he had been good
looking they might have
passed over his lack of
cordiality.
It was left for Harry and
other men in the big room
to ask the girls to an oc-
casional lunch or take them
to a theater or to bring
them a bunch Of flowers.
If Tom had shown any
disposition to do any of
these things his other short
comings might have been
forgiven, but he didn t. Not
that he WASH t polite; he al
ways greeted Mary with a
smile and she had noticed
from the first that he had
nice teeth and a wholesome
expression.
She wasn't exactly pretty
herself, but she had recon
ciled herself to that; no
use trying to make up for
that with lipstick and
rouge; she would look at
herself in the mirror and
say firmly: "Well you are
what you are; now make
the most Of it. =
And that s what she thied
to do. 1t was rather annoying
when Harry or the super
salesman j i'm Torrance

to hers to ask Sally Jensen
out; or when she saw a
bunch Of violets on Sally's
desk Of. Sally passed around
candy at lunch hour candy
that one Of her many ad-
mirers had given her.

without comment. Perhaps
