SHOOTING STARS.
BY pH1LANpER JOHNSON.

WORDS, WORDs!"-HamIet
In politics is told
OF one, wire live,
The story very old
And how he ceased to thrive.
The man talked day by day
Until his latest breath.
The politicians say
He talked himself TO death.
And others did the same,
Though nothing new was taught.
Words we're the way to fame
That eagerly was sought.
And all the world joined in
And words new favor gained.
The talk aroused q din
But nothing was explained.

ROOSEVELT 49,
HIGH IN SALES
Reception Given In England
And on Continent Argues
Well For Record

The reception given the new
Roosevelt Eight in England and on
the European continent augurs
well for a new high sales record
Of American-built straight-eight
cars abroad this year. accord Dig to
q. M. Williams. president Of the
harmon Motor Car company, who
has just returned from an EXTEND
ed European trip.
Mr.. Williams, who was accom-
panied by Frank Il. Hambly, Mar
mon export manager. introduced
the new Roosevelt in fourteen for
eign countries. and succeeded In
expanding Marmon representation
abroad to a point where an efficient
dealer organization completely
covers England and the continent.
European motorists always have
appreciated and even demanded
automobiles that possess unusual
speed and fleXibility," Mr.. williams
said. The straight-eight. the type
of a offering the greatest of
these advantages, is popular in
Europe. although the barrier OF
price has held back sales to a con-
siderable extent.
The Roosevelt Is sold In Eng
land. for example. at a price that
Is comparable TO any European
Straight-eieht. The only English
made eight that approaches the
Roosevelt in price is a car that Is
smaller inside and has a smaller
motor.
Roosevelt ears Just now are be-
ing received in quantity abroad.
and are finding a ready market In
England. France. Germany. Swift
Zerland. and Scandinavian coun-
tries and many other nations. Our
dealer organization abroad has
grown to unusual proportions and
Is well sufficient in size to handle
an export volume far greater than
ever before attempted by the Mar
mon company"
Mr. Williams and Mr.. Eiambly
visited the recent Geneva Interna-
tional Automobile Show in Switzer-
land where Marmon had a large
display Of the Roosevelt car in
addition to the two Marmon lines
Of straight-eights. The Marmon
president likewise travelled through
such countries as Italy, Austria.
Czecho-Slovakia. Spain, Hungary.
Poland and Danzig.
One OF his interesting observa-
tons was the tendency Of Euro
pean automotive engineers to copy
the best characteristics Of Ameri-
al fine cars.
There was a time when Europe
was far ahead Of America i'm auto
motive engineering" Mr.. Williams
said. american engineers and
manufacturers started pioneering
work Immediately after the World
war and since that time have
eclipsed the efforts Of continental
builders or automobiles"
The features of American cars
that are most widely copied are
those that produce quick accelera-
ton and comfortable reliability,
Mr.. Williams said.

KELLY HAS new
IDEA FOR SALES
All Hit-or-Miss Factors Have
Been Removed From
Negotiations

with the introduction OF the
Kelly REGISTERED Balloon to the
automobile tire market" says Mr..
Smith, manager Of Smith g. Mer-
chant, Harrington. also inaugurated
an entirely new sales idea. All the
hit-or-misS factors have been re-
moved and close connections have
been established between the buyer,
the dealer and the manufacturer.
Before telling you about the KEEL
" Registered ball on itself. let me
first explain how this relation
ship has been established and why.
Need for a Super Tire
For some time. there has been
a real need for a so-called super
tire and for several years Kelly en-
gineers have been perefcting a tire
which would be super in every re-
spect. When this tire had finally
passed all the tests and was ready
for the market. it was decided to
keep an accurate record of each in
dividual tires performance. Since
the Kelly Registered Balloon is a
thoroughbred in the strictest sense
Of the word. the Kelly company felt
that its life should be watched as
closely as that Of thoroughbred
horses. dogs or cattle. Hence the
name Registered.
Here is how il is accomplished.
When the a owner purchases a
Kelly registered Balloon from his
dealer. a card. which is attached
TO the tire is filled out and mailed to
the factory at Cumberland. Md. This
card records the tires individual
number and size, the make OF car,
model and type of body and the
name and address Of the purchaser.
The record Is then entered with the
manager of the service department.
The date on which the tire was
bought is also kept on file. In this
way. Sle performance of the Kelly
Registered tire Is checked to the
buyers satisfaction. He knows that
the Kelly service department is able

to a vice-presidency cIimaxing an
unuS~J record Of achievement.
In his new capacity with General
Motors, Mr.. CLANCY will remain in
active charge of the Oakland divi-
sion.
Although affiliated for some time
with the Du Points, Mr.. Clancy first
became identified exclusively with
General Motors in 1920 as general
manager Of the Samson Tractor
company at GAINESVILLE, Wis. In 1924
he was made vice president and as
sistant general manager Of the
Oakland Car company. The follow
ing year he succeeded to his pres
ent title Of president and general
manager.
During the four years Of his ex-
elusive control, the Oakland Motor
Car company has revealed an
amazing growth. Five years ago il
occupied a minor comparative posi-
ton in the industry. In the official
rating for the 1929 national automo-
bile show. il ranked in fourth place
among all members Of the national
automobile chamber OF commerce.
Annual production five years ago
lowered around the $4,000 car mark.
while last year il was in excess Of
10000 Oakland and Pontiac skies.
with this years schedule calling for
a substantial increase.
During Mr.. Glancy's early con-
nection with the Oakland division
the manufacturing facilities of the
company were confined to a small
factory with cramped working quar-
tiers. while today the plant is
housed in a mammoth structure
with a roof area of more than a
hundred acres. which is claimed
to be the newest and most mod
erately equipped automobile plant
in the world.
Dealer outlets and service facili-
ties have been EXPANDED at a par
allel rate, with result that today
Oakland is regarded as one Of the
hardest and fastest growing COM
panies in the industry.

to follow the life OF his registered
balloon until he is ready to pen
sion 1t for meritorious service.
The Need for the Kelly Registered
Now Just a word about the tire
itself. AS / said before. there was
a definite need for such a tire.
This tire was evolved by Kelly
Springfield to meet that demand,
that need for larger. more rugged
tires which can successfully stand
up under the faster driving and
harder braking Of today's cars. The
Kelly Registered Balloon represents
absolutely the last word In modern
tire -building.
Furthermore, this tire is over
sized throughout with 10 per cent
more air capacity than any stand
ard balloon of corresponding size.
plus a tread nearly twice as thick
and extending so far down the side
wall that the likelihood Of pune
lures is negligible.

knowing that your car is well shod
for as long al you are content to
drive behind the same steering
wheel. This tire was built for hard
err service than you will probably
ever be able to give It,"
Mr.. Smith closed the interview by
saying that the place for such a tire
motoring had been and was being
clearly proved by the tremendous
demand for the Kelly registered
among the more experienced drivers.
Motorists also appreciate" he
added, tine fact that we are pro-
tecting them and their invest
ment through the complete record
we keep Of every registered tire"
