Chevrolet Uses l71.s46 Feet of Rib- bon Canvas in Introducing New

The extent to which the industrial structure of America leans upon the automobile. was vividly Illustrated following the placing of an order In- cidental to announcing Chevrolets new 1881 models
 The order called for I'll, SAG feet of material. or a ribbon of canvas B miles long and 36 inches wide. to to be made up into banners for dealers showroom displays and for signs to be used in sales meetings being held throughout the country.
 Less than 5000 yards of the mate rial were available in Detroit. Due to low inventories resulting from curtailed operations this year, Il search of wholesalers, bleacheries and mills in strategic parts of the country. revealed a supply of white canvas on hand still 10000 yards short of filling the order.
 To meet the demand within the specified time, mill in South Car olina winch had lain idle got into production on 24-hour day sched- ule. Mills in other parts of the country were put to work overtime. To produce the finished banners and drops, two plants manned with artists. sign painters, carpenters and laborers had to work on three eight hour shifts a day.
 This one order resulted in the opening of three plants not then in production, and the employment of hundreds O. men," explained H. ]. Klingler. vice-president and general sales manager of the Chevrolet Motor Company. who directed the purchase. "Yet this order was not measurahly larger than others we have placed from time to time for similar materials to meet the needs of our dealers
 What happened in this instance in the unusual activity brought about i through placing an order only for materials to announce the new car may be taken as a pretty good in- eication of how all industry benefits l through the automobile Purchase of q car means work for the cotton picker and mill hand. the steel min- CT and worker. the lumberman-in fact all those people employed in the ] production or preparation of the large number of raw materials which So into the building of the finished i automobile"

TOYLAND IS MINIATURE ADULT
LIFE FOR TODAY'S YOUNGSTERS
Realism Succeeds Make-Believe and Imita-
tions-Doll Styles Change Along
With Boys Interests.

Modernism may get by with a bang
in interior decorating, skyscrapers and
poetry, but when it comes to toys, the
youngsters of today want them to look
natural.
They want their stuffed animals
dogs, teddy bears, monkeys-as much
as ever, but they want their wire-haired
fox terriers to look like the real article
and not like modernistic canine decora-
tons on the latest thing in ash trays.
Boys like action toys, but the minia-
ture automobile that gets attention
makes them think of daddy's car. When
they play war with toy cannon they
want some realistic noise. They marvel
at the modern toy locomotive which is
only distant relation of the mechanical
choo-choo of 1900. The last word in
aviation has its echo on the toy counter.
Miniature golf sets, varying in size
from one that could be placed on a
door mat to one requiring a good sized
back yard, are atune to the latest fad
in fore" Backgammon sets are prom
inent among the games, puzzles and
paint boxes.
But Old Dobbin is losing ground. He
is still found attached to milk wagons
or drys, the type of horse drawn
vehicle the modern youngster most fire.
quently sees. There are some rocking
horses, but most of the ponies are on
wheels
