AUTO SALES REFLECT UPTURN IN BUSINESS — Combined Sale of New and Used I Cars Indicates Improvement in Spring, Manufacturer Claims. I Sales by Chevrolet dealers continued throughout January at a rate which broke all January records in the history of the company, besides j rounding out the greatest 90 days J after announcement that Chevrolet I has ever known. This fact is revealed by figures released by W. E. Holler, vice pres- | ident and general sales manager. New records were established both i for new cars and trucks and for I used cars, Mr. Hollar said. An important contributing factor, he added, was the used car disposal program, finder which thousands of old cars were destroyed and forever removed! from the streets and high- •• ways of America. • January sales of new cars and trucks totaled 75,412 units, an increase of 103 per cent over January New units sales for the period since the 1936 model announcemnet totaled 247,666, as compared with 130,867 | for the best corresponding period in | the past, in 1929-30. This is an increase of 104.7 per cent. i Used car sales for January were 166,966 units, the second highest used car month in Chevrolet’s entire 0 ; history. Sales of used cars for the 90-days period since introduction of | the 1936 models totaled 400,717 (units, 247,033 in 1934-35 being the i highest precious total for a corresponding period. •We regard it as signficant that the combined sale of new and used cars by Chevrolet dealers in January totaled 242,378 units and, further, that the combined sale bl Chevrolet dealers of new and used cars during the three months’ period reached the tremendous total of 648,383 units. “The fact that record sales in January were not confined to any one section of the country, but on the contrary were general throughout the United States, is a splendid business indication,” said Mr. Hollar. ' “It supports our belief that the .! Spring buying season will be the best the country has seen for a number of years." Extension of the used car junking program through February was announced last week. This program, in which Chevrolet is recompensing its dealers for scrapping unsafe cars ’ is meeting with the unanimous approval of safety authorities In all parts of the country.

If the follouring isn’t a national record, it is at leest a remarkable achievement. Drivers of vehicles of the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company have, in the last ten years, driven 38,000,000 miles without a fatal accident. This is equal to driving around the earth at the equator 1,520 times, or making the round trip from New York to Los Angeles 6,500 times, or 26 years of continuous driving at 400 miles a day. If anything were needed to prove that the terrific death rate charged up against automobiles is unneces-; sary, these facts are the evidence j required. The rules and regulations of the Oklahoma Gas and Electric Company! which govern its drivers from the standpoint of inspection of equipment, training of personnel, examination of eyeeight, etc., could be followed by every single driver $h the land. If they were followed, the death rate from automobiles would be practically eliminated. Jiggling the receiver up and down to get central is not a light occupation.

('continue ROADSIDE | PLANTING PROGRAM State Highway Commissions Improvement Plan Extends To Kosciusko County. Continuation of the State High-i way Commission’s roadside improvement program with trees and shrubs to be planted along more than 110 miles of state highways this year, was announced today by James D. Adams, chairman. The 1936 pro- . gram provides for plantings along federal-aid highways in Floyd, Harrison, La.wrence, Martin, Whitley Adams, Kosciusko, Marshall and Johnson counties. Roadside improvement through the. planting of trees and shrubs on the ' widened rights-of-way of federalaid highways, was initiated by the State Highway Commission late in 1933. During the past two years more than four hundred and fifty miles of Indiana's state highways have ‘ been improved in this manner. This 1 program has met with enthusiastic approval on the part of motorists and property owners. The 1936 plantings program, limited to federal-aid highways on which there is a minimum right-of-way of eighty feet, will provide approximately 76,000 man hours of employment. More than a hundred tons of fertilizer and seven tons of grass seed will be used in addition to the plant materials. - n Gentlemen farmers are those who seldom raise anything except their ' hats.—Texas Ranger. i
