TROY OIL HEAD

SAYS BUSINESS RISING SHARPLY|

30 Per Cent Increase Over 1939 Is Predicted ‘by Frank Schuster.

A 30 per cent increase in business over 1939 today was forecast for this year by Frank J. Schuster, president of the Troy Oil Co., Inc., which is celebrating its tenth anniversary. And 1941 will be another big year, he said, adding that he expected Indianapolis merchants to do a heavy Christmas business in the next five weeks. Mr, Schuster said the 1941 increase would come “without any increase in the number of service stations and no greater promotional activity.” The firm distributes Tydol gasoline and Veedol Oil in the Indianapolis area. Mr. Schuster also is president of the Shelby Street Federal Building & Loan Association, part owner of the Weber Milk Co. and a director of the Fountain Square State Bank. “General conditions are as good now,” he said, “as any we have had

before.” ”

Walter Hiser, president, and George Hoster, vice president, both said that the salesmen should get “full credit for selling more than 75 used cars, valued at $17,000, in 18 days and for turning over their complete inventory.” October was the biggest month in sales and ‘value volume since the dealership was organized three years ago. During the month the service department showed a 30 per cent increase in business. Prizes were awarded at the dinner to A. B. Wagon as high man and to Steve Fenner for second place among the sales staff.

Now's the Time

If you haven't done so already, now is the time to get your car's cooling system in shape for the winter. ay There are three steps: (1) Flush the system clean, (2) check for leaks, (3) put in a permanent and corrosive-checking anti-freeze. Be careful never to fill the radiator to the top. Room must be left for the anti-freeze solution to expand as it warms up. When anti-freeze is first put in the engine should run for a few minutes. This releases trapped air and mixes the solution thoroughly,

More Contracts Expected: Products Range From Guns to Planes.

DETROIT, Nov. 15 (U., P).~— Automobile assembly lines already have a billion dollar assignment for national defense within the next two years—but there's even more coming. : : At present the automotive industry is making or preparing to turn out of its huge shops nearly all armaments short of big guns and battleships. Chrysler is constructing a tank arsenal, Packard an airplane engine factory, and Ford another airplane engine plant. A new order for airplane engines is expected by Buick Division of General Motors Corp. Authoritative Buick sources said the order

It was understood the engines would be of Pratt and Whitney design similar to those to be made by Ford. ‘Another large contract yet to be placed is for tanks, it was learned, and will probably go to General Motors. Reports persist that the main assembly plants for the auto industry's newees undertaking — $500,000,000 worth of sub-assemblies for 12,000 Army ' bombing planes—are to be constructed in Michigan or Indiana. If the auto industry took over the assembly of the bombing planes it

LAST DETOUR ON ROAD 31 LIFTED

Highway Linking Ft. Harrison, Ft. Knox Regarded As Defense Asset.

The heavily-traveled Road 31 south from Indianapolis was free of detours today for the first time in several months with the elimination of a one-mile traffic run-around near Memphis. Several resurfacing projects have been completed on the road during

the past few months. The highway is regarded as of much importance to national defense since it is the best route between Ft. Harrison and Ft. Knox, Ky. The elimination of the detour at Memphis left no detours of major importance on state highways. Detours in effect are:
