ON DISPLAY


I've seen the 1896 OldsmobileS
I've heard about the 1886 plans. I've
been told Of the great production ex-
panSi0n. And SO I want 70 say that
/ am confident that 1896 will again
see all records for production and
sales OF Oldsmobiles broken"
This was the enthusiastic state
ment Saturday OF Tom Stevenson,
OldSmobile dealer In Brownsville.
alter returning here I'm one Of the
1886 model Oldsmobiles from a deal
ers meeting az Houston. THE coun-
try knows Oldsm0biles as the car
that has everything" he said, "and
the new 1886 cars have everything
plus. There Is a definite advance In
style leader styling keeping Olds-
mobile far In front In graceful
streamline design. There are new
ARRANGEMENTS in mechanical fea-
lures. ~augmenting those which last
year resulted In such a tremendous
demand for Oldsmobile cars.
The 1896 cars are big, new auto
mobiles, beautifully designed, rocmy
and comfortable. and possessing all
those features which have made
Oldsmobile famous.
Production OF the new cars In
volume Is under way at Lansing The
huge new factory which has been ac-
quired for Fisher body operations.
with a half million feet OF floor
space, Is In full swing. Cars are roll
ing from the longer Oldsmohile as
line at the rate Of $50 per
day.
lWhen the ears we're shown to the
dealers Of the area, and plans for
the coming year we're outlined, un-
animous approval of both cars and
program was expressed by the dealer
organization. I'm 1885 all records
were broken-but those marks are
destined to stand only for a short
time. For the 1856 models, refined
and advanced IN styling and engin-
eering. are sure TO reach new pro-
duction and sales peaks in the COM
ing year" Popularity Of the 1885
Oldsmobiles was so great than
when the factory was closed at the
end Of the 1885 production season
there still remained on hand a large
number Of untitled retail orders, Mr..
Stevenson pointed out. This condi-
ton Is unprecedented In the INDUS
try.

EDITORIAL BACKS
LUMBERMEN VIEW
American Builder Thinks
Government Should Get
Out of Business.

The American Builder, in an edi-
torial in its December issue, strongly
indorses the resolutions recently
adopted by the National Retail Lum-
Der Dealers Association, demanding
that the Government get out and
stay out" of the home building field
and permit private industry to pro-
ceed in an orderly manner without
fear or threat Of governmental compe-
tition."
"The American Builder strongly
believes that such Government poll
cies as N. r. A, huge expenditures
for made work and competition with
private business have hindered, and
are still hindering, recovery and re-
employment" this business journal
declares. TT believes, also, however,
that legislation such as the national
housing act, to stimulate investment
of private capital, is helping recovery.
The great increase of private expendi-
lures for remodeling and new con-
struction Of housing is one Of the
most important factors in the current
improvement of general business.
Attitude Emphatic.
Believing thus, this paper enphati-
caIly indorses the resolutions of the
National Retail Lumber Dealers As
sociation. Frank Carnahan, secretary
of the association, undoubtedly is right
in expressing opposition to reported
project for legislation to subsidize
home building with Government
