Jv TJnUi prra DETROIT, June 19.—With the usual seasonal slump in production still delaved, and retail sales reports more encouraging than ever before for this period, the automotive industry is continuing its rec-ord-breaking pace. After a 161,00 Q. record production in May, Chevrolet's sixteen factories still are working at top speed, with indications that June will set another new mark. Unfilled Chevrolet orders are three times higher than at this time last year. Ford's May production of 200,900 ears, coupled with this month’s outpu* will bring Model A to a 2,000,000 prr‘duct ion.

It is now at 157.7, compared with 132.2 at the beginning of May last year. Inspect Plants Headed by James D. Mooney, vicepresident of General Motors and president of the General Motors Export Corporation, in charge of overseas operations, sixty managing and regional directors of General Motors in fortiy-eight countries have ended a month of visits and inspections of General Motors plants in this country. They will depart for home countries this week. American manufacturers were not disposed to regard invasion of the domestic field by the Austin company of England as a trade retaliation for the rapidly increasing United States export trade. Rather they pointed to the Austin company announcement of a sevenhorsepower car as an indication that the company in this country will attempt to popularize the light, cars w idely used on the continent , j Similar attempts by American : manufacturers have failed. Bulck Scores High The new' Buick manufactured Marquette met an enthusiastic reception and the new Studebaker Commander eight is another innovation.

The Ford company quietly increased certain model prices six months ago.

Fourth, the agencies catering to motor tourist travel have improved their accommodations and recreational facilities. Fifth, the movement toward uniform motor vehicle regulations has made some progress and the motorist is likely to encounter less annoyance at the hands of petty officials than heretofore. The A.

A. motor clubs in the United States and Canada, as well as on reports from state highway officials throughout the country. . “Almost without exception," says the survey, “the car owner will find good roads leading to his chosen vacation spot, w'hether it be east, west, north or south, or in nearby Canada.

felt like it was drawing all up.. T threw up everything I ate. Gas pains caused intense suffering. I was so nervous I could not hold my hands still and would shake like T was having a chill. I saw the statement in the paper of Mr. Taylor telling of the wonderful results obtained through the use of the miracle medicine Ver-\Yil-Ko, so decided to try it. Shortly after taking this medicine ray general health began improving. I am out of my bed now and walk now; I feed myself and no longer have those terrible dizzy spells. In fact, all my pain and suffering has vanished. I can also eat anything I choose without fear and my nerves are steady again. I am glad to recommend Yer-Wit-Ko to all my friends who are suffering from neuritis, stomach trouble and nervousness, because I have been entirely relieved by faking one bottle of this marvelous medicine." Dr. J. C. Vermilya, of Bloomington. Indiana, founder of Ver-Wil-Ko, used this famous prescription in his private practice for over twenty years with wonderful success. You take no chances with Yer-Wil-Ko: it is a doctor's prescription—not an ordinary patent medicine. If you are seeking a quick return to good health, see the Ver-VYil-Ko specialist today, he is at GoldsmithWalgreen drug store. Yer-VYil-Ko is on sale at all Goldsmith-Walgreen good cut rate drug stores.—Advertisement.

Chicago Paves La Salle Street ivith Concrete

TO relieve intolerable congestion, and to provide a truly modern artery from the crowded "Loop” district north to Lincoln Park, Chicago is widening LaSalle .Street to eighty feet between curbs, and paving this new thoroughfare with portland cement concrete. The section from Washington Street, beside the City Hall, to Lake Street, was completed late in 1928* Traffic flows over this modern pavement smoothly and safely. It never gets slippery — the surface is rigid and strong.

Drivers know they can give their entire attention to driving —they do not have to watch the pavement to avoid holes or ridges; Chicago has had much experience with pavements. Concrete has been extensively used for several years. Property owners come to the City Hall to insist that concrete pavements be laid in front of their homes —on their boulevard* and business streets. They know the folly of investing their money for street paving in anything less durable and satisfactory than concrete.
