THRIFT CAMPAIGN
AT OAKLAND PLANT
Company Asks Workers to In.
dicate Details in Which
Waste Can Be Cut

A thrift campaign, laid out on the
same extensive plan a. its large scale
manufacturing operations. is now In
progress at the Oakland Motor Car
company, at Pontiac, Mich.
Since the modern plant of the com.
pany Is now being operated in q high
" efficient manner, the campaign is
designed primarily to discover new
ways Or processes to eliminate waste
Of time or materials In the building
Of Oakland and Pontiac skies.
While special inducements have
been offered to plant foremen and
superintendents who offer plans to
cut waste for some time past. the
present campaign is directed to the
workers, because their proximity to
the job places them in a particularly
favorable position for seeing how the
Job might be done more simply or
economically. Several other large
manufacturers who have conducted
similar campaigns have effected an
nual savings of thousands Of dollars
savings brought about by cutting
waste which was not known to exist
until a special campaign brought 1t
to the attention of the management.
The Oakland campaign ties In with
the industrial waste elimination plan
sponsored annually by the govern
ment. which had its inception during
President Herbert Hoovcr's active
connection with the department Of
commerce.

Every part OF the body is well fitted
and of the same sturdy construction
as the engine and chassis. The head
lamps rest on strong chromium plated
supports. besides being held IN place
by a strong crossbar. Even the tall
light. instead of coming out Of the
rear fender on a curved sheet OF

through which its wires are carried
and which reaches out from UNDER

frame instead of being carried on x

seem to be there to stay.

AUTOMOBILES LEAD
EXPORTS TO EUROPE
BECAUSE EXCELLENT
Marmon President Analyses
Ability OF America to Sell So
Many Despite Duties

The success with which the Ameri-
an automobile industry has increased
its sales abroad speaks we'll not only
of the excellence of American motor
cars. but OF the industry's aggressive
ness and ability to market its pro-
duct in the face of the most adverse
conditions.
This fact, in the opinion Of q. NJ
Williams. president of the Marmon
Motor Car company, Is one of the
outstanding features of present-day
American export business. Mr.. Will
liams has just returned from a trip
to Europe. during which he travelled
through IA foreign countries.
Despite tariff restrictions" Mr..
Williams said, sales Of American au-
tOmobilcs abroad have increased year
by year, and now there are approxi-
mately as many American-made cars
sold in Europe as there are cars OF
European manufacture. Automobiles,
in fact. rank first among United
States exports of manufactured pro-
ducts.
when the average person reads of
record automobile shipments to Eur
ope. he rarely takes into consideration
that these a r must be sold at far
higher prices than In the United
States. The cost of shipment is. Of
course. responsible for a part of this
increase. but q greater factor is the
duty levied by virtually all foreign
countries In line with similarly heavy
import tariffs levied by the United
States.
Retail prices Of American automo-
biles in Europe range from n and
one-half to two and one-half times
the retail prices in the United States.
Yet. European motorists express a
keen preference for American cars
and buy as many as they buy cars OF
their own manufacture which GER
tainly is a compliment to American
automotive products-likcwise a credit
to the entire industry in entering a
field where. strange to say. it has
little control over the final selling
price.

mission and Seven-6 Bearing

A new conception of values in COM
mercial cars is found In the new line
Of Superior Whippet six Ia ton units
announced by the Willys-O Overland
company. In outstanding mechanical
features. which include four speed
forward transmission, heavy seven-
bearing crankshaft, Invar-strut PTS
tons, full force feed fabrication. tim
ing chain. big four wheel brakes,
finger tip control and a chassis Of
exceptional sturdy construction, the
new Whippet six commercial unit Is
seen as q striking advancement over
present-day engineering practices en-
ployed in other commercial units sell
ing in the Whippet price brackets.
In the construction OF the new c0n-
mercial units, Willys-O Overland en-
gincers perfected the Whippet six
chassis to provide power, speed, re-
liability. lower cost per ton-mtle and
general economical operation through
out. Notable among the mechanical
features listed is the four-speed for
ward transmission, which provides
added pulling ability in the low gears
and enables the driver to make q
quick getaway with a capacity load.
The "finger-tip-control" system,
so successful in the company's pas
senger cars, also is standard equip
ment in the new commercial chassis.
This system, with q button In the Ger
ter Of the steering wheel, enables the
driver to control all the functions Of
starting the engine, operating the
lights and sounding the horn without
changing the driving position. It IS
also recognized as a distinct safety
factor since any n or all OF the
operations are performed without the
necessity of the driver removing hts
foot from the brake pedal or taking
his eyes from the roadway ahead.
The heavy seven-bcaring crank
shaft is an important feature and Is
admittedly essential for the smooth
est possible operation of a six-cylinder
engine. This crankshaft is drilled for
full force feed fabrication.
The Whippet Six chassis. which has
q wheelbasc of 131 .incheS and Is
sturdily built with six cross-members,
is designed to accommodate a wide
range Of body types such as q panel
body.
