OLD CAD|LLACS
RUN IN CHINA

From Mukden. Manchuria,
comes a story of the remarkable
service a group Of Cadillac v.
eights, all built more than 10
years ago, are rendering as
buses between Hailar and Urga
in the northern part Ct China.
There are quite a few old Cad
illacs here in Mongolia. Between
IS and 40 Of these, some Of them
built in 1916, operate between
Hailar and Urga as buses.
Otter proper lubricating oil is
unobtainable and Manchurian
bean oil is used instead. On
this run they are loading 80 pas
sengers usually tied together
with a rope) on a seven-passenger
car and they run, not for 20
miles, but for trips of about 1000
miles-from 9ne end Of the line
to the other.

USES A|RPLANE
FOR TRIPS

"In order to make the great
est number Of profitable con-
tracts and derive from your
business a maximum Of profit,
It Is necessary to take advan-
tage Of every speedy means Of
doing business" This is &C
cofding to Parker 8. Abbott,
sales manager Of the e. HI. Ed
wards Company, manufactur.
ers Of wire rope, located In
San Francisco, Calf.
Abbott uses an Arrow airplane
to tour his territory and contact
with his sales force. Every one
of the company's large fleet Of
REQ Flying Clouds is decorated
with a large "E" stretching over
the entire top, so that Abbott
can readily identify his sales
mems cars on the road as he ap-
proaches the various airports.
He claims that it Is less ex-
pensive to use the biplane in his
business than any other form Of
quick transportation.

START EARLY

DETROIT, Micn., Oct. ga
significant sign Of the aggressive
policies to be adopted by the
automobile industry toward max
ing 1891 rank with past years
In volume is seen here in the
announcement that Chevrolet 8
annual dealer meetings are to
get under way next week. two
months in advance Of the Gus
tomary date.
Four groups of sales officials
from the home office, each group
accompanied by a full carload OF
theatrical equipment, stagehands,
electricians, etc.. are scheduled to
hold so meetings at as many CEN
tral points during the next five
weeks, which will be attended
by upward Of 10000 Chevrolet
dealers and associated bankers
located in every section OF the
country.
In previous years these meet
ings, which are held to acquaint
the dealer organization with conf
par1y plans for the new year, got
under way in January, during
New York Automobile Show week.
Inasn4uch as formerly portion
Of each meeting centered upon
the presentation of Chevrolet'S
annual new model, considerable
speculation has been aroused here
over a probable tie-up between
the meetings and an early an
nouncement Of a new Chevrolet
tor 1881.
Model Is Secret
H. j. Klingler, vice president
and general sales manager OF
Chevrolet, remained noncommittal
on !. the subject of new car,
other than to state that a part
of the star chamber sessions with
his dealers would be on this sub
iect. He explained the holding
of the meetings earlier this year
by stating that normally No
vember and December are dull
months in the industry, and deal
ers are better able to leave their
places of business during these
months than in January or
February. He pointed out further
that by holding the meetings
now, the dealers would have COM
pletc information on 1881 plans
before the turn of the year, and
would be able to put them into
effect two months earlier than
formerly, thus better preparing

The START of a cold can very often
be its finish, too, if you use Vapex

Swiftly, the delightful Vapex
vapor fights cold. A drop on the

Of the pillow brings relief all day
long or all night long. The fra
