BUICK REPORTS RECORD SALES

Highest December Volume in History of Company, Says Sales Manager.

A continued upward trend in sales of Buick motorcars during the last 10 days of December brought domestic retail deliveries for the

of 23,550 units, W. F. Hufstader, general sales manager, announced today. This was an increase of 4165 cars over the previous month, a gain of 21.4 per cext, and compared with 13,005 deliveries in December a year ago, a gain of 10,545 sales or 81 per cent. It was the highest December volume in the history of Buick, Mr. | Hufstader said, and was the second | highest volume for any month, being | exceeded only by August, 1929, when | 29, 421 cars were delivered. The de{mand was equally heavy in all parts | of the country. The December deliveries brought | total domestic retail sales of Buicks during 1936 to 164,666 units as compared with 91,675 in 1935. This was

an increase of 72,991 or 79.8 per

It was the third year in succession that Buick sales projections were exceeded by actual deliveries. In 1934 deliveries were 64,899 against a quota of 60,000; in 1935 they were 91,675 against a quota of 85,000, while the 1936 sales exceed the original projection for the year by approximately 30,000 units. Although deliveries were heavy in December, unfilled orders were reduced by fewer than 1400 cars and now stand at approximately 12,000 at the factory, the executive said. He added that he looked for substantial deliveries in January and that there is a good supply of new

CHEVROLET SALES SHOW BIG INCREASE

Chevrolet's new car sales totaled 101,286 units in December, it was announced today by W. E. Holler, general sales manager. This figure represents an increase over the same month in 1935 of more than 21,000 units, as the record for a year ago was 80,189 new car sales. Sales of new trucks included in the total unit sales figure were 17.516. © Used car sales during the month were 148,163.

SEVERE TESTS ARE PROVIDED FOR BATTERIES

Ford Product Must Prove Worth Before Being Used in Car.

a Tests of unusual severity have been devised to determine the capability of the new Ford 17-plate 100ampere hour batteries which are being installed in the 1937 Ford V-8, according to R. A. Hayes, manager of the Ford Indianapolis Branch. The batteries must be capable of

producing 90 watt hours of electricity when discharged in a zero temperature produced in a large special refrigerator, Mr. Hayes stated. Perhaps more rigorous is the normal cycling test in which the battery is put through a series of 45 alternate charges and discharges. At, the end of this test the battery's current-produing ability musi be at least 85 per cent of that which is possessed during the early stages of the test.

Overcharge Test

There is also a constant overcharge test in which the battery is charged at a 10-ampere rate day and night for 30 days. This is intended to prove the battery's -bility to stand up under severe usage. The battery must also pass a highrate discharge test in which an exceptionally heavy discharge, simulating the running of a car starter continuously for six minutes, is placed upon it. The batteries have Jarge plate area (2,559 square inches). Only vertical-grain wood separators, uniformly porous, are used. Cell covers rest on ledges, providing additional support for the plates from above. Posts a ed to lead inserts in the cover t® provide added strength and prevent leakage of electrolyte. These batteries are available at Ford dealerships for repiacement service. In addition, there are three other types of Ford replacement batteries available. Ford batteries are suitable for use on many makes of automobiles and trucks.

OIL INVESTMENTS HEAVY

The estimated total investment of $13,276,000,000 in the oil industry is apportioned among the various branches of the industry as follows: $5,665,000,000 in production; $270, 230,000 in natural gasoline plants; $941,000,000 in crude oil pipe lines; $3,400,000,000 in refining, and $3, 000, - 000,000 in marketing.
