Auto. Men and Bankers Make
City Center for Supplying
Sheet Steel for Cars

Detroit, March IL. - NFA) Auto
and bankers, who have made
Detroit the worlds hub Of automo-
tive activity. now are directing their
efforts toward making the city a huge
center to supply sheet steel and 9TH
err such products direct to the auto
motive plants.
Rumors of huge steel combines
seeking sites for plants in and near
the city have been going the rounds
of automotive and manufacturing cir
cles for months. 1t is expected that
several will commence plants before
the year is out, furnishing employ
ment for thousands now out of work.
Automobile manufacturers have
realized during the past few years
that they could put their cars on the
market cheaper II they could pur-
chase their steel close by and avoid
shipping costs. Sheet steel has been
shipped in here from eastern steel
centers such as Toledo, Cleveland,
Pittsburgh and Youngstown.
One of the first Detroit men to
bring to the front the steel situation
here was George r. Fink. His steel
mill, but; In Ecorse in 1923, started
the ball rolling.
Ford Among First
Henry Ford was another pioneer
when he began making his own steel
at his River Rouge plant. Another
''early starter" was the Michigan
Steel Company which, since its ORR
gin, has grown to four times its bri-
ginal size and has profited greatly
through orders received from auto
mobile plants here and In Flint, Lam
sing and Pontiac.
Besides the Michigan Steel and
Ford plants there is the huge new
plant OF the Great Lakes Steel COM
pany in Ecorse. This plant is valued
at more than $40, 900, 0O0.
Just south of the city. in Monroe,
is the Newton Steel company's $8,-
10000 sheet mill, which is one of the
most modern and efficient sheet
in the country, according to
manufacturers.
Another plant located here is the

National Steel company, q holding
corporation that brought together the
Great Lakes firm. the Weirton Steel
company Of Weirton, w. Va, and Ger
taine subsidiaries of the M. A. Hanna
company, Cleveland. This company,
manufacturers say, illustrates the
tendency of outside steel interests
securing a hold on the Detroit mar
ket.
Automobile production men say
steel can be produced as cheaply In
Detroit as 1t is In the eastern cen
tiers. The iron ore can be brought
down from the Lake Superior regions
cheaper by boat than it can by the
combined boat and rail method used
to ship it into interior steel cities.

Lakes.

Freight Cuts Offered
To Motor COMPANIES

New York, March 12.-P-Motor

auctions In freight rates on automo-
biles ranging from II to so per cent,

Wednesday, through the new sched-
ules that are expected to 60 into ef-

The slashing Of freight rates on the
products of the automobile industry,
which was announced last week, Is q

meet the competition of other forms
OF transportation. They hope to re-
gain a portion Of the business that
has been diverted to motor trucks and
inland waterways. especially the
Great Lakes.
The largest reductions will be made
on automobiles shipped less than 500
miles from the originating point.
While sanguine as to the ultimate
result Of the rate cuts, carriers are
understood to anticipate q loss of
revenue at the start.

Years Of History

In the ~ years that Buick has been
known to the motor world, no Buick
ever before this year has been Of
fered in such q wide variety Of models
and in such q broad price range. As
q result. the Buick eight exhibit will
be q focal point Of the Bismarck Auto
Show, according to e. r. Strong, pros-
ident and general manager OF the
Buick Motor company. Bucks are
sold in Bismarck by the Fleck Motor
company.
Every one of the 20 models is pow
cred with a straight eight valve-in-
head engine and equipped with the
engineering features that have made
Buick the outstanding car of the year
-syncro-mesh transmission, engine
oil temperature regulator, carburetor
air intake silencer, torque tube drive,
steering wheel road shock eliminator.
and many other important advance
ments.
These 20 Buick Fights are divided
into four series. each series differing
in the length of the wheelbase and IN
price. The smallest Of the series Is
the $50 which 10 Is offered for the
first time with the syncro-mesh trans
mission and other big a refinements.
The six models in this series are built
on a 114-inch wheelbase. The straight
eight motor in these $50 models de-
velops 76h horsepower and has a
maximum speed in excess Of IS miles
Der hour.
Five models on a ll7-inch wheel
base comprise the $50 series, and
these cars have straight eight motors
which develop 80 horsepower and give
z speed in excess Of 80 miles per hour.
The big cars in the two remaining
series are the four-passenger coupe
and the five-passenger four-door Sc
dan in the $50 series on q 124-inch
Wheelbase, and seven models on q 1872
inch WheelbaSe in the $50 series. The
same motor is used in all cars in both
these series; 1t is a big straight eight
valve-in-head motor developing 1O4
horsepower and delivering q speed Of
about IS miles per hour.
One of the features of the new
Buick eight, and one which has Gre
nted a lot Of favorable comment on
the part Of the experienced motorists,
is the new Buick engine oil tempera-
ture regulator. Probably no improve
ment of recent date contributes quite
so much to better engine performance
and longer motor life as does this
comparatively simple and effective
device which holds the heat of the oil
down to effective lubricating tempera-
lures. The high speeds made possible
with the modern automobile engine
have resulted in higher oil tempera-
lures and a consequent lowered Wis
costly.
Therefore Buick has provided a

Most vital, perhaps. OF the many
systems necessary to the support Of
life, is the blood system. The human
heart is a perfect pump and 1t dis
charges a constant stream into our
arteries which distribute blood to
each vital part Of the body.

system is the blood system of the n

metal casing ct the water inlet to the
cylinder block. Water from the pump
flows through the tubes of this radi-
ator on its way to the motor, while
the oil from the oil pumr flows around
the tubes on its way to the bearings.
Thus 1t quickly warns the oil In Geld
weather and reduces the heat In
warm weather.
Insulation Is accomplished in the
front compartment Of all models
through the . Of layers OF felt and
insulating material which In turn are
covered with q special embossed COM
position board on the dash. On the
floor q heavy rubber mat is used in
stead Of the composition board. In the
ear compartments the felt is glued
directly to the floor and covered with
a carpet of deep piling. All metal floor
pans, even under the seat cushions,
are covered with felt.
Another improvement is the fact
that both the brake and gear con-
troll levers In the front compartment
have been moved forward, making
this compartment unusually roomy.
The improvements that have been
made in the performance of the new
Buick eisht-its increased speed, ST.
lent operation, rapid ~acceleration,
economy and ease of handling-are
equaled by the many refinements
that have been added to the appear
ance of the a and its appoint
mentS.
For instance, the instrument
boards and panels are entirely new;
all the instruments r grouped to-
gether in che compact panel of ar
tiStic design which is illuminated
with q two-way lighting system that
gives indirect lighting when driving
and a direct light to the front COM
when desired.
The 1891 Buick eight differs from
all previous Bucks In that the bodies |
and chassis have been developed as
a unit. AS a result of this unit de-
a maximum in strength
and r1gidity has been produced that
eliminates squeaks and rattles, Mr..
said.
The entire framework of all bodies |
has been greatly strengthened by re-
the roof construction and US
ing metal brackets in place of glued
Another contribution to driver
comfort is found in the redesigned
front seat and the mechanism which
adjusts it. Both the drivers seat
and the front passenger seat are
lower and upholstered with wider and
deeper cushions.
The public has been quick to ap-
p~reciate the inherent mechanical
of this new line of straight
and as a result Buick has

margin the leadership in its price |
