Frisco Exposition Nears Completion

BY STUDEBAKER.

Newspapermen Visit South

Bend to Get Look At New Car.

Newspapermen from all parts of the country were present last week in South Bend as guests of the

Studebaker Corp. to view the new |

1938 model. The affair was the first preview presented by any of the

year's models. The visiting newspapermen were | addressed by Paul Studebaker Corp. president, and | Harold S. Vance, board of directors chairman. Mr. Hoffman said in part: | “Studebaker is the only manu- | facturer of carriages and wagons | which successfully made the tran- | sition into the motor car field. In| making that transition, it has faced | all the problems that came in the | wake of the rapid technological advance which has taken place in America since the turn of the century. Materials, machinery and men | have all felt the full impact of that | advance, At one time we were work- | ers in wood; now we work with steel. Machinery, at the beginning | of that period was an adjunct NO a| great force of hand workers. day, our workers guide ai

* . . .The machine has not enslaved men—it has freed them; it has not created unemployment—it has added to our employment; it | has not made robots of workingmen. but, on the contrary, it has made | them better, more enlightened citi- | zens who take, if anything a greater pride in their wormanship than did the craftsmen of 1270 ! In 1936 the average Studebaker workman worked 48 weeks of 40 hours each at an hourly wage of 87c per hour. He received $1698 for | his 1920 hours of work. Contrast this with the $624 received by the workman in 128 for his 3120 hours of work.” Morrow Krum of Roche, Williams & Cunningham, Studebaker adver- | tising agency, was the master of ceremonies at the dinner and en- | tertainment held at the Palais] Royale. Wives of Studebaker executives served as hostesses. A | group of stars, headed by Miss Helen Park, soloist, composed the | floor show. Following the entertainment, the new 1938 Studebaker was driven onto he | fiver.

Although the new louver dial on the 1938 General Electric radios was | not named after the world famous | Louvre Museum in Paris, it would be worthy of that name for it is a | masterpiece of beautiful yet practical design, officials said. The dial is so named because all the scales are placed on louvers which are set at an angle that| provides maximum legibility and ease in tuning whether the dial is viewed from either a standing or sitting position. | The louvers are formed by cutting around the top and sides of the scales and bending them back to | the proper angle. This makes it | possible to illuminate the dial from | in back and above so that each such | cut-out or louver stands out | brightly. Colors used on the dial have been | carefully chosen to harmonize with | the fine walnut veneers of General | Electric radio cabinets: The face of | the dial has an etched bronze fin- | ich against which the rich brown of the printing stands out pleasing- | lv. Because the dial is not translu- | cent and the finish is etched. the | light is concentrated on the louvers and softly diffused on the rest of the ® dial,

Ford dealers throughout the United States during September are to co-operate with the Ford Motor Co. in a second annual nationwide used car and truck clearance sale, it was announced today. “The sale is to continue throughout the month, with over 200,000 used car and truck sales as the goal,” said Mr. Hayes, manager of the Indianapolis branch of the Ford Motor Co. “The clearance was inaugurated last year and achieved signal success. The Ford Motor Co. is aiding the sale with an extensive newspaper advertising campaign. “Ford dealers throughout the In- | | dianapolis branch territory in Indiana and Illinois report they are in strategic position for such a sale,” Mr. Hayes added. “Widespread ac- | gested districts. | ceptance of the 1937 Ford V-8 has | smallest bicycle in the | built up dealer stocks with an un- | Weighs only five pounds, usually wide assortment of used | ©f sturdy construction, cars and trucks of all makes and models.

Bear Panhandles Tourist

Just another panhandler on the highways of Yellowstone National

Park. Clever beggars, these bears.

This one scarcely waited for the

Pontiac to come to a stop before he came lumbering out to the car. And a couple of smart old campaigners send out their cubs ahead to

gain the sympathy of the motorist.

What they like most is candy.

Park employees caution tourists not to let the bears eat from their hands. The bears aren't vicious but they are near-sighted. So they bite at what they smell and if a hand happens to be in the way,

that’s just too bad.
