ORDERS EXCEED PRODUCTION OF PAK-AGE-CARS Success of New Vehicle Is Amazing to Founders, Stutz Head Says. Two hundred men at 1002 N. Capitol-av are busy today assembling Stutz Pak-Age-Cars. With production a month behind orders and new business coming in daily this new venture of the Stutz Motor Car Cos. of America, Inc., is more profitable than the men who started the project anticipated, according to M. E. Hamilton, president. Paced with the problem of selling high priced passenger cars in a depression era, Stutz, an old Indianapolis concern, solved the difficulty by creating a product to fit anew market. The company has no plans to manufacture passenger cars in the future, Mr. Hamilton said. 400 Sold This Tear ''We have sold about 400 of these light, house to house delivery cars since the first of January when we started,” Mr. Hamilton said. “Although our production rate is 10 cars a day, we can't keep up with the orders.” Starting with the idea of building a car to do a particular job more economically than any other vehicle, Stutz engineers built a truck which, according to one user, 80 cents less a day to operate than a horse-drawn vehicle. “We have shipped cars from ciast to coast and to Canada,” Mr. HimJlton said. “We are receiving inquiries about them from all over the world. Dairies, laundries and bakeries have been our big buyers so far, but we are just beginning to tap the general market.” Engine Is Removable Powered with a removable fourcylinder Hercules engine unit called the “mechanical horse,” the cars are limited to a 30-mile-an hour maximum speed and have an exceedingly short—9o inches—wheel base. On a regular delivery route they consume about one quart of gasoline an hour, Mr. Hamilton said. 4 The car is the stand-drive type. “One of the most encouraging features about the car is that about two thirds of our original buyers have sent in repeat orders,” Mr. Hamilton said. “Some have reordered for the second time. The purposes of the car are unlimited. One St. Louis newspaper uses them for delivery trucks.” The cars sell for f935 at the factory. Forty-six have been sold in Indianapolis, Mr. Hamilton said. Metal stamping machinery has been installed at the plant, Mr. Hamilton said, resulting in the employing of more local labor. The

PRIMARY NEWS SECONDARY FOR THIS CANDIDATE Roberts in Hospital With War Wound; Wants Health Most. Don F. Roberts, R. R. 12, Box 183, was too tired to smile today when friends came to his bedside in the United States Veterans Hospital and told him he was near the top in the running for Republican nomination for Representative in Congress from the Eleventh District. Stricken two weeks ago, by an infection caused by a World War wound, Mr. Roberts now is more interested in recovering his health than in becoming a national legislator. “You can „ay I am probably the only candidate in the state that didn't vote for himself,” he said.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

“There wasn't a chance for me to get to the polls.” Mr. Roberts, who has been in politics 23 years, entered the Republican congressional race two years ago, but was defeated. He has served as assistant city attorney, deputy prosecuting attorney and deputy county clerk. War is an old story to him, too. With the Thirteenth Engineers, assigned to the French Second Army,

he inis on the Western front for two years. He was wounded in the MeuseArgonne drive of 1918, and in years following the war he underwent five amputations of the right leg. Infection sent him back to the hospital this time. “Most of the election news I have received came from the papers,” he said. “Looking over the returns did help pass the time. I wish to

congratulate my opponents, particularly Samuel Shank, for their fine showings.” Surrounded by men. whose lives were ruined in the last war, Mr. Roberts said he was sympathetic with veterans’ problems. '~ “I am not blind, however, in my loyalty to ex-soldiers,” he said. “If I get to Congress my first concern will be the welfare of all the people in my district.”
