1886 TO Be GOOD
YEAR, ASSERTS F0Y
Big Replacement Market
Awaiting, He SAYS.

America can look back at 1885
with pardonable pride and forward
into the new year with every reason
to expect another good business year,
according to Byron c. Foy, presi-
dent of the De Soto Motor Corp.
The year just pasta year of def
mite, sustained progress-carried the
nation a long ways back toward
sound economic recovery. And, more
important, the passing year left the
promise of even better times ahead.
In the vanguard of the 1885 re-
covery parade, the automobile in
dustry more than kept it's promise
of year ago to produce and sell
100000 new cars and trucks Lat
est available figures indicate the in
dustry turned out more than 4,000,-
900 units during the year.
Despite this big sales year, the
industry still faces the largest re-
placement market in it's history.
Surveys show that 100000 cars in
operation on American streets and
highways are seven years old, or
older.
AS the average age of a motor car
is estimated at eight years, this
means that almost one-third of all
the cars now in operation will reach
the old-age limit in 1886.

PUSHES SALES
OF USED CARS
Chevrolet Maps 2-Way
Program of Cooperation
With Dealers.

Chevrolet Motor Co. started the
new year with a s1,0O0,OO0 co-opera-
tive plan to help move its dealers
stocks of used cars, and to retire un-
worthy vehicles from the highways,
it was announced here today by M.
E. Coyle, president and general man
ager, through E. w. Berger, Indi-
annapolis zone manager.
Continuing throughout January,
Mr.. Coyle said, two important spe-
cial activities run concurrently.
First-Chevrolet will pay to the
dealer $40 for every old automobile
accepted in trade on new or used
carr that he disposes of by scrap
ping or junking.
Second-Chevrole will pay a
bonus to statesmen whose efforts
enable their dealers to sell more
used cars in January than it sold
in the same month of 1885.
Announcement of the aggressive
plan of promoting the sale of worthy
used cars and Kidding the market
of unworthy ones that clog the sales
channels of both used and new cars,
reveals that Chevrolet, which dur
ing the last Il months vigorously
has attacked the used car merchan-
dising problems of its dealers, in
tends to carry on through 1886 not
only with the methods that have
already proved successful, but with
new and bolder plans.

Roy E. Hickman, above, presi-
dent of Lathrope- Meyer Retail,
Inc, local Oldsmoboile dealer, at
18th and Meridian-sts., announces
that, effective Immediately. the
firm name of his firm will be
changed to Hlckman-Moyer Sales,
Inc. The entire organization will
be kept intact, with new car
show rooms at the same location
and the used car department at
41o N. Capitolav as before.
In making the announcement,
Mr.. Hickman asserted that his
firm finished 1885 with q bang"
December being the best month
in sales in the company's history.
He further pointed out that both
new and used car sales for the
year greatly exceeded all expec-
tations, actual deliveries amount
ing to approximately 500 new
Oldsmoboiles and 1900 used cars
during 1885.

BY IGOR /. sIKORSKY

IN my mind the most outstanding
4 event in air transportation dur
ing 1885 has been the series of
flights conducted by Pan-American
Always from San Francisco to
Honolulu and farther west across
the Pacific Ocean. All of these trips
were carried out by that organiza-
ton with perfect precision. A def
mite schedule was set up for each
trip and this schedule rigidly ad-
hered to throughout.
1t is now only matter of a short
time before trans-Pacific mail and
passenger flying will be common
place, and I personally believe that
during 1886 we will see the Begin
ming of the pioneering of the trans
Atlantic service. In three to five
years this will be the regular,
routine way of transportation to
Europe. And only a little later it
will be possible to get to any part of
the globe in two or three days.
My first successful plane, built in
1911, weighed approximately HOO
pounds. The trans-Pacific Clipper
ship, the S-42, weighs 10000 pounds.
Thus you can see we have shown a
great deal of progress in size within
the last "a years.
The airplane of the future,
whether seaplane or land plane, will
be, with respect to appearance, quite
similar to our present machine
However, these ships will have
cruising speeds between 200 and 300

And by the same token every
Junior Aviator should wish the
Junior Aviation organization a
happy birthday.
For it was just one year ago this
month that the nation wide Junior
Aviator movement was started. And
in that short space of time the, or
ganization has forged ahead like A
gigantic wave - 100000 boys anc
girlS-from the Atlantic to the Pa
cific and from the Great Lakes to
the Gulf of MeXico-are now en-
rolled as members.
They have formed what is now
declared by youth organizers and
aviation officials the greatest ma
tion-wide handicraft organization
for air-minded youth of America.
Headed by the dynamic Mai Al
Williams, the club during 1886 ex-
poets to pass the half million mark
in membership.
While organization is rapidly pro-
crossing through schools, cluos ano
other organizations, definite plans
have been made in each of the
squadron cities for indoor contests
of every type and description. Many
of these contests are already being
promoted on a national basis, such
as the Kiwi Derby, the Transcon-
tinental Air Derby and the Junior
National Air Races.
Due to the limited auditorium

these ships will be used IN the

be impracticable for the majority
of the air transports to be used in

tations set up by the difficult and
costly construction of ship neces-

smooth and comfortable ride. Most
of the future land planes will be
considerably larger than the pres
ent type.
They will easily accommodate 80
to 40 passengers or comfortably

room compartments. ample head
room and good visibility with the
possibility of being able to move
about easily. The flying boats, be-
cause of the greater distances which
they must cover, will be even larger,
with smoking rooms. dining salons,
private rooms, in fact in a small
way will be comparable to our most
modern and luxurious transoceanic
liner. These large flying boats will
weigh 100 tons or more The four
engined landplanes are here to stay
The large seaplanes may have twice
as many engines. I have very per-
sonal reasons for being conservative
in these forecasts as I might we'll be
| called upon at later date to prove
my statements, and actually build
ships Of this size and characteristics.
We are now compiling and have

in this country which is available to
all airplane operators. We have wind

have good material and we have
good engines. The United States is
now leading the world in efficiency

NEWS OF THE AUTO WORLD
DODGE COMPANY
ANNOUNCES new
LINE OF TRUCKS
Models Designed to Meet
All Transportation
Needs, Is Claim.

Built to meet all types of trans
portation needs, new line of trucks
for 1896 was announced today by
the Dodge division of Chrysler Corp.
through j. D. Burke, director of
Dodge truck sales.
According to T. o. Ewing, Indi-
annapolis district manager for Dodge,
the outstanding features of these
new models are: Fore point load
distribution, hydraulic brakes, pre-
proved" economy, beauty in appear
ance and Amola steel springs. The
new chassis models offered include
the one-half. three-quarter, one, one
and one-half lin two series, two
three and four-ton models. Spe-
cially built custom Airf1ow models
also are to be offered.
"Fore-point" load distribution
through which the load has been
moved forward in relation to the
axles. is an important innovation
This insures greater stability, min
imum of overall length, more near
1y equaliZed wear on brakes and tires
and in general, more efficient
hauling unit.
One of the major changes in the
construction of the new models is
the adoption of a strictly truck
type of frame on the one-half ton
commercial car, This double drop
frame is deeper in side rail cross
section and has five truck-type cross
members, including the rear engine
support. The commercial sedan is
an exception, in that Dodge uses its
passenger car chassis to afford pas
senger car riding comfort for the
commercial traveller and other large
groups of users whose personal
transportation needs also call for
load capacity for the carrying of
merchandise.
Outstanding fuel and oil economy
have been developed through six
major mechanical features and adj
vantageS. They are: Aluminium
=, alloy pistons, four piston rings, full
length water jackets, valve seat in
serts, spray cooled exhaust valve
seats and special oil cooling.
Doors of all the 1886 trucks and
commercial cars are hinged at the
front.
The Indianapolis times. [volume] (Indianapolis [Ind.]) 1922-1965, 1936-01-04

for this reason no national indoor
contest will be staged this year.
However, elaborate plans are now
under way for the 1895 Junior Ma
tional Air Races, probably in Cleve-
land in conjunction with the 1856
senior National Air Races. Con-
testantS will also be entertained
each evening by the officials of the
Great Lakes Exposition, which is TO
be held in Cleveland this summer.
But getting back to New Years.
start now making those resolutions
for 1886 Include in them a num-
Der that will help Junior Aviator
and improve your model building so
that you will be one of the win
ners in the coming contests.
