It is a notable fact that in face of occasional complaints the Ford flan is shipping dealers cars-they have not ordered. The Ford selling organization is as efficiently and run on as high pressure as the factories and it is known that it has made a practice of shipping cach community cars on some sort of a quota basis based on absorption. This percent- age is arrived at thru study of bank deposits, per capita wealth, indus- trial conditions and other factors of the community. given no indication of intention to increase the price “How does he do it” is a question that has been asked about Henry Ford and his motor output for years. The new Ford power house at Iron Mountain, Michigan, which is almost complet- ed, many serve to answer that ques- tion in part. The principal require- ment of the power plan is to furnish steam for the large Jumber dry kiln and new chemical wood distillation plant. In addition, however, it Is made to furnish electric power for running the body plant and to sup- ply flue gas for drying wood in the cheniical plant. dealers, and one of the first auto- mobile Cealers in Detroit, when the ‘Transcontinental Oldsmobile, 'en- route from San Francisco to New York on the first const to coast run via the northern route, arrived.

But how a motor car is engineered and built, and what it is built of, are both extremely important. ‘That is why automobile buyers today are discount- ing glib selling talk and demanding assurance that a car will stand up and give low-cost service. There is only one way you can get such as- surance. You must see for yourself how it is engineered and built— and of what it is built. The Hupmobile Parts Display gives you the Hupmobile story ata glance. It is interesting—and enlightening. You should by all means see it. Come in soon. Hupmobile brake and clutch pedals are good examples of the safety built into the Hupmobile. They are drop-forged, double heat-treated steel, also the hand-brake and hift levers, brake-rod clevises and toggles—much stronger and safer than the less costly low carbon steel or malleable castings often used.
