Vant Sant, distributor for Hudson-Essex | cars. “Everyone who has an open car wants a closed ane—all of which + leads up to the fact that Hudson- Essex a few years ago staked its entire future on the enclosed car— their plant was built, arranged and | equipped with the idea that event- | ually the “glassedin” models would | hold the center of the sales stage. | | “A few years ago closed cars were mostly a few ornate sedans or lMmousines which sold at a price #0 high that few people ever antici- pated ever owning a car of anything like the type. “The thing that foolishly held back the production of closed cars| for at least five years was the manu- facturer’s idea that when he built the models he must bulld them for the wealthy.

This story concerns the success- ful broadcasting of a cricket's song by KHJ, Los Angeles sta- uon. This stunt was the result of an experiment with some new Wil- lard storage batteries which have just been installed at KHJ. Mr. K. G. Ormiston, operator of KHJ, was just closing up the station after the first evening's program in which the storage batteries had been used. In a bunch of flowers in the studio, he heard a cricket chirping merrily and a bright idea struck him at that moment. Placing the flowers close to the microphone, he start- ed the automatic piano playing very soft music.
