A further improvement. is effected by. the self-centering feature of the four-wheel brakes—an exclusive Ford deyelopmen:. Through this construc- tion, the entire surface of the shoe is brought in contact with the drum the instant you press your foot on the brake pedal. This prevents screech- ing and howling and makes the Ford brakes unusualy silent. Another feature of the Ford brakes \s the ease of adjustment. ‘The four-wheel brakes are adjusted by turning a regulating screw con- veniently located:.on-the. outside. each brake plate. This screw is so notched that all four brakes can be 3et alike simply by listening to the “clicks.” the \) The emergency or parking brakes on the new Ford require little atten- tion.

There was a belief that ln’ some day will’ come ‘when everyone will have hig’ automobile and there will be no more to sell. Only the up-and-coming leaders of the industry would therefore survive to take care of the motorists wishing to replace their old cars with new. But soon the country realized that this idea of saturation was only a myth. Soon we saw that two cars, and now three cars, came into use in single families and that there seemed to be no end to the demand for more automobiles. So the fear of saturation was dispelled. Later, in its place, came the dread of the used automobile. for the junk heap that were being traded in annually for new cars. Would there be enough buyers of these to take them all up, and if so how many of these buyers would leave other “trade-ins” for the dealers to worry about? The problem seerhed to be insolible and inescapable. But at last the same thing is happening to this as happened to the saturation myth. We are finding this to be a baseless fear. We find the trade-in problem solving itself. 3 No greater authority than Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., president of THE BISMARCK TRIRUNE DURANT HAS TAKEN OVER CONSPICUOUS AUTO WORLD HEADS Frederick Haynes, New Presi- dent, Was Noted Chief of Dodge Brothers Frederick J. Haynes, new president when opened their plant in Detroit. With the passing of the second of the brothers, Mr. Haynes became presi- dent and continued so until the sale of Dodge Brothers to Dillon, Read & Co,, when he was made chairman of ae ei vice president ' iph A. Vail, new in charge of been dustry as a. man of unusual genius in his field. Some of the latest and most sensa- tional motors and chassis develop- ments are his creations, He comes to Durant to rejoin a group with whom he was long associated in Brothers. A feat that brought him the widest acclaim was the record breaking time in which he built brought into the ordnance plant erected by Brothers during the war for the man- ufacture of recoil mechanisms used in French 155 m. guns. He made the General Motors, assures'us that henceforth only obsolete auto- mobiles—those immediately ready for the junk heap—will be traded in for new cars. In fact, the motoring public is so great that every manufacturer now in the business will have his hands full satisfying the demand for new cars to replace the automobiles that are becoming obsolete. Even those motorists who have been in the habit of buying only used cars have-be- come so great a portion of the motoring public that the problem soon will be how to satisfy their demand for used cars, rather than how to take care of any oversupply of such automobiles. Thus the great problems of the automotive industry, much like those of other industries, have turned out mere myths, pany. baseless fears.. Now we are ready for the next problem, but if and when*that.comes we shall be able to cope with that much more sanely. We shall have the experience of the “problems” of yesteryear, to direct us properly. Force of Habit Many years and we have installed service, Our mechanics have meee ae aren hai . Manufact me .
