Ubl I kUlibli I I U1I1 IU CONSIDERED AT EATON EATON, d, April 22. Hope is being entertained at this time for, settle raent of thw local telephone war, which has existed the last several weeks. The proposed basis of settlement is that the telephone company replace free of charge, all telephone removed by patrons as a result of the controversy oyer the rental increase; place its plant and lines in such condition as to render satisfactory service, and continue the service at the old rental rate until such time as necessary improvements are completed, after which the advance rate, the one in force now, shall become effective.

NEW SELLING POLICY The announcement of a new policy i elating to the sale of Pilot motor cars in Richmond and the surounding community directs attention to the growth of a home industry. In 1909 when Pilot was formed, its factory was small, containing a total area of 9.672 square feet of floor space. The fact that today Pilot's plant is comprised of a block of allied buildings containing a total of 83.304 square feet or nearly eight times that of the original factory, is higher significance of Pilots growth and success. Pilot Motor Car company was organized in 1909 at Richmond by George E. S'eidel, whose experience in the ebicle game dates .back to the old fcuggy days. Mr. Seidel came here from Hamilton, Ohio, in 1S97. At that lime, he was connected with the Westrott Carriage company, but a few years h:ter he resigned this position v.ith V.'estcott to form the Seidel Buggy

It was' in the factory of th Seidel Buggy company that the first Pilot car was built and it is significant that Pilot 101 as it was numbered, is still in active service at. Luther, Michigan. Business Growth Marked. Prom its formation, the financial policy of the Pilot Motor Car company was laid out by Mr. Seidel, who did not, however, devote all iris time to Pilot until 1915, when the pressure of increased business made his presence as the active head of its affairs necessary.

Mr. Seidel's policies, however, were consistently followed with the result that Pilot has been conspicuously successful, particularly since Mr. Seidel took active charge of its affairs. The Pilot Motor Car company is unir.ue in the automobile industry, in that it is one of the very few motor car manufacturers which though twelve years old, has never been "re-financed".
