FORD DELIVERIES Oldsmobile Dealer Opens New Room 5

SHOW GAIN OVER TOTALS IN 1936

Seasonal Trend Downward Checked by Improved Farm Conditions.

Ford V-8 retail deliveries in Indianapolis branch territory showed an increase of 5 per cent in July over July, 1936, when new car sales were materially helped by the bonus payment, R. A. Hayes, Ford branch manager, announced today. “Although this is the period of the year when sales ordinarily drop off from the high rate of the spring and early summer,” Mr. Hayes said, “the seasonal decline in our territory in Indiana and Illinois has been substantially less than expected. This is in part a reflection of the bountiful harvests, excellent crop prospects and good prices from farm products.” For the seven months ended July 31 Ford V-8 retail deliveries by dealers in the branch area were 26.5 per cent above the total for the same | seven months of last year, Mr. Haves stated. The figures given in- | clude all types. Lincoln-Zephyr retail deliveries in | the branch territory for the seven | months were up 69 per cent over the 1936 Do

NEW SAFETY RECORD

From Company.

The Chevrolet-Commercial Body celebrated the best safety record in the history of General Motors last week at a presentation ceremony, at

which time four foremen were cited for their work in advancing industrial safety, as a result of a contest sponsored by Alfred P. Sloan Jr. chairman of the board of General Motors. The meeting was held in the plant recreational room with D. M. Klauemeyer, plant manager, making the awards. The foremen who contributed most to the safety in the local plant, during a seven months’ contest each received an all-wave radio set. Runnersup as well as the winners of the radio sets received certificates signed by Mr. Sloan. The foremen who recceived radios are Earl W. Byers and George R. Newton. who received certificates as runners-

up were John Eakin and William |

O'Brien.

The contest began Dec. 1, 1936, |

and closed July 1, 1937, during which time General Motors reduced the accident rate in its plants to an all-time low of 4.56 per million hours worked, and the lost time per thousand hours worked due to accidents to 511 days.

BUICK DEALERS HIT ALL-TIME PEAK

2800 Retail Firms Over Nation Sell Autos.

Times Special DETROIT, Aug. 7. — Buick has reached an all-time high in dealer strength with the retail organization now totaling 2826 dealers, a statement by W. F. Hufstader, Ruick general sales manager, indicated today. “This representd a broader sales and service contact with the public than Buick has ever had, substantially exceeding the previous peak of 10 years ago,” he said. “As a result of the popularity of the current models and a broad price range starting in the lower brackets dealers have been attracted to Buick

in greater numbers this year than |

ever before. “There now is a Buick dealer in virtually every city over 5099 popuJation and in many smaller towns. Individual dealers are reporting substantial increases in sales over previous years, indicating a deeper penetration of the motor car market.”

CHEVROLET PASSES

1337 MILLIONTH MARK

Is Sixth for Record by Firm.

Year

The year 1937 takes its place as

the third successive year in which | Chevrolet has produced more than | million units and the sixth |

one time in the history of the company that more than one million cars of any one model have been built, according to N. A. Stuart, Indianapolis zone manager. The millionth 1937 model Chevrolet was completed at the company’s Flint, Mich., assembly plant two weeks after the production of the 13-millonth car since the founding of the company 25 years ago. The first year in which Chevrole: produced more than a million units was 1927. In 1928 and again in 1929, the company built more than a million cars and trucks. Production passed the million mark again in 1935, repeating the achievement in 1936. Chevrolet led the entire automobile industry in sales during eight of the of the past | 10 years.

its circumference contains the same | weight of material as every other |

inch, he said. That is why balancing is necessary. In an unbalanced tire, there is a heavy spot somewhere on the circumference. This spot, at high speeds particularly, pounds the road-surface like a hammer with a force that may reach surprising proportions. Such constant pounding can cause many motoring ills. It may damage the tire itself, cause the car to steer hard or, worst of all, gradually alter the wheel alignment and loosen various parts of the steering gear as a result of undue wear. One tire engineer has said that perhaps 99 per cent of wheel shimmy and similar steering ailments can be traced to out-of-balance tire and wheel assemblies.

CAR MAKER BUYS AUTO |

He made automobiles and drove them for 10 years, but in 1937 he bought his first automobile—that’s the unusual record of W. L. Kissell, Hartford, Wis., veteran automobile manufacturer who recently purchased a Lincoln-Zephyr coupe. Mr. Kissell was a prominent figure in the automotive industry for years, manufacturing cars that bore his

name.

‘PULL’ RACKET HIT BY EXCISE OFFICIAL

Hugh Barnhart, State Excise director, today assured liquor license applicants that the department would protect them against racketeers reported to be operating in the State. The Excise Commission has had complaints that persons alleging they have “influence with the Commission” have been paid fees to aid in obtaining licenses, he said. “Applicants can get their licenses by mailing their petitions to us,” Mr. Barnhart said. “If they care to retain attorneys, as is often the case

with larger retailers, that is their | business. But none of them have |
