During the week ending April 5th, 5,694 cars were placed in the hands of buyers by Dodge Brothers deal- ers. This exceeded the best pre vious week's deliveries by more The former record 7th, than 100 cars, was made the week df May 1923. In making these figures public, Dodge Brothers emphasize the fact that t represent actual reta’ live! ra, not factory produc- ve an accurate system them a weekly check ck and weekly de t Deliveries to users, they point out, rather than yfPoduc- tion, is the real basis for judging business conditions. Not only was the week of April 5th a record breaker, according to the factory's official figures, but the entire period dating from December 1, 1923, when the production of the present new types of Dodge Broth- ers cars began reaching large pro- portions, shows a tremendous gain in retail deliveries over the corre- sponding period of the previous year. The first quarter of 1924 in fact, was 21 per cent greater than the first quarter of 1923, Every week of this quarter was far ahead of the corresponding week of the year before. Despite the great increase in pro- duction which makes thewe deliver- jes possible—Dodge Erothers are now building close to 1,000 cars a day—the stock of cars in dealers’ hands, available for delevery to customers is lower than ever be- fore during any corresponding per iod since Dodge Brothers attained a real volume production.

BIGGS Vice-President, The Studebaker Cor- poration of America SOUTH BEND, Ind., April 26.— (Special}—The distingulshed prest- dent of a great university was going through our plants here today. He was particularly interested in the historic vehicles assembled in the Studebaker National Museum, which is the mecca of thousands of motor pilgrims each year. “Ah, and what is that?” hd sud denly asked. “Over there—that quaint, exquisitely built carriage?” “That,” I sald, “lg the carriage presented by*the United States gov- ernment to General LaFayette, dur- ing his triumphal visit to this coun- try in 1824.” Visit Hundred Years Ago And then we were both struck by the fact, heretofore obscure in our consciousness—that this year fs the centennial anniversary of the “sec: ond coming of LaFayette," when he returned to America, after his ex ploits as a volunteer soldier under George Washington, to receive the overwhelming applause of a grateful nation.
