■ MARK IS SET BT BUICK SALES Marketing of 44,500 1915 Medels In Less Than Nine Months Is Believed to Constitute New Record for Value of Output. SALES FAR EXCEED OUTPUT For Part Six Weeks Company Has Been Compelled to Refuse Order for an Average of More Than One Hundred Cars- a day

The Buick Motor Company has just set a high mark for sales by marketing 44,500 1915 automobiles in less than nine months, according to its general sales manager, R. H. (Trainload) Collins. This is bey’ lieved to constituite a new record for vlauation of output similar period. More cars have been sold by one factory in that length of time, it is conceded, but they have been of lower price. Says Mr. Collins with becoming modesty: “These striking facts speak eloquently for the worth of Buick motor cars, and for the growth and permanence of the Buick Motor Company. Considering conditions that have prevailed for the greater part of the 1915 season, for the most part tracable to the European war, this record is nothing short of remarkable. We doubt whether it has ever been equaled or even approached in the whole history of motor car building.’’ War Makes No Difference “When the European war clouds broke last summer, just after the opening of the selling season, there was a great deal of talk to the effect that there could be no market Tor automobiles. But we did not take any stock in these prophesies, and did not cut our production schedule in the slightest degree. On the contrary, we went right ahead planning a larger output than ever. In all of our advertising last fall and winter we repeatedly stated that there would be a famine in Buick cars with the coming of spring. The war did not decrease demand for Buicks, and in this fact our confidence was confirmed. Gets Damages. <■ Ellwood George was notified on Monday that there is SBSO waiting 'Tfir'flHf at the Auburn court house. About four years ago a new Hudson automobile, driven by Mr. George, was struck by a Vandalia train at Churubusco and the damages have just been’adjusted. Mrs. Joe Mock left last Thursday for Garnet, Kansas, where she was called by the illness of her sister. . Chicken Thieves. Chicken thieves are plying their trade successfully in Syracuse and vicinity. Probably if it wasn’t sp easy for them to dispose of their loot there would be fewer thefts. Some one is going to get into trouble and those who buy stolen property are just as liable to ar- x rest as the actual thief. Died in Hospital. Mrs. Alpheus Estep, who resides near Milford, died Thursday night in General hospital at EJkhart, following an operation. She is survived by her htfsband an<F two sons, aged six and eight years and by her father, ex-Trustee W. E. Thomas of Scott township.

• WHY ARE MERRY? You are merry because you are happy. And you are happy because you are prosperous. And you are prosperous because you get out and **hustle. And you get out and"hustle because your digestion is good and you feel just like “getting there.” And your digestion is good because you eat GROCERIES that are rich in life building qualities.

“Last winter Buick cars sold in trainloads. In most other lines business was haulting, even paralyzed and yet the demand for Buick cars continued up the grade Not Due To Accient “This state of affairs is not due to accident. It can be accounted for in strait out and out truth that Buick automobiles have come to be regarded by the American buying pubic as a stable article of commerce and industry; a necessity that is no more to be dispensed with than any other than the prime of life. “For five years Buick production has fallen far short of Buick sales. Each year we have added to our manufacturing facilities with the idea of being able the following year to build enough to meet the demand. Our 1914 output was disposed of four months before the end of the selling season and the same is true of our 1915 output with an increase of fifty percent.” 50,000 Nineteen Sixteen Buick* “We have added to our buildings and machinery and to our tool equipment sufficently to guarantee the 1916 production of upwards of 50,000 cars. Today with all our immense factories and all our fine machinery and all of our finely trained armies of workmen we are turning away actual orders fcr an average of more than one hundred cars a day. The motor industry is comparitively new and yet there is about the Buick a permanency and solidity not usually attained in half a century of continous operation. Farm House Entered. The home of Earl Grimes, east of here, was entered while the fami ily were at Sunday schopl and a roll of butter, two setting hens and some eggs were stolen. The victims have a good idea of the identity of the thief as he left his dog behind him. While they may not prosecute on this occasion they will cause the culprit’s arrest for trespassing if he is found on their farm again. L. T. Heerman, Secretary. L. T, Heerman has been elected secretary of the Wawasee Golf Club. A meeting of the club will be held soon and several important matters will be taken up.

Swan township and the town of Albion will hold local option elections .Monday, May 24. ’The elections were called by the county commissioners on petition of the wets, Swan township and Albion being dry.

The Fish Hatchery. Mr. Miles was seen last Saturday and gave us some interesting news of the Hatchery. He said that the ponds were all filled with with parent small mouth bass. They had 1,200,000 wall-eyed pike of which 1,000,000 were put into Lake Wawasee. There are 150 parent blue gills in a pond and in other ponds are 300 parent large mouth bass. They put 85,000 large mouth bass ranging from one to three inches in length in this lake last fall. Sixty parent gold fish are held in one pond to grow food. The Hatchery is in good running condition and is proving a great help to this lake. The residence is is being beautified and will become a most attractive spot this season. Mr. Miles is always glad to show visitors around and explain the plant to them. A great deal of praise and kindly feeling is due the late George Miles, State Fish ami Game Commissioner for the careful plans and the founding of this plant which means so much to our lake.

New Name. The Journal, assisted by its Wawasee representative, J. C. Marsh, is planning a sixteen-page illustrated edition for Lake Wawasee, which will be issued June 3rd. On this week the Journal will come out under a new name and after that time will be known as The Syracuse and Lake Wawasee Journal. This edition will be printed on high grade enamel paper and will be liberally sprinkled with views of the lake and the various summer resorts. No expense will be spared to make this edition a creditable advertisement for Lake Wawasee and Syracuse, and one that can be mailed to friends with pride. Our regular subscribers will receive one papei’ without extra cost and additional copies will be furnished for ten cents each. This is the first special edition ever planned’ for our neighboring lakes but it is meeting with such genuine approval that we rest assured of its success. We mean to make this edition, the initial number of The Syracuse and Lake Wawasee Journal, an official history of the lake, and in succeeding number lake news will be carefully sought and written and worthy lak,e projects and needs will be exploited to the best of our ability. In return we hope to receive the support of the lake in compiling this information and we believe it will be the means of closer cementing the relations of our towq and Wawasee to their mutual advantage. In our next issue we will disclose more of our plans for this special edition. In the meantime, any suggestions will be gladly received by the editor or Mr. J. C. Marsh. Church of God.
