~™ OLDS ACHIEVES ANOTHER GOAL Building of Improved Car at Lower Cost Wins Praise. By L. J. REUTER, (President and General Manager, of Olds Motor Works) Undue praise is bestowed on the craftsman and artisan of the past, principally through our tendency to heap laurel wreaths on the brow of antiquity without proper knowledge. If guild workmen of the sixteenth century were to try to build a pres- ent Oldsmobile, the result would be a car greatly lacking in accur and precision and selling a fab- ulous price instead of than $900. Credit is due these early workmen for what they accomplished with the t les 7’ meager equipment of those times. But it is decidedly unfair to present day workmen anf industrial scient- ists to exalt the craftsman’ of the past and his product. i The recent introduction by the Olds Motor Works of the latest Oldsmo- bile with added power, beauty and performance at drastically reduced prices {s illustrative of the vast dif- ference between crafts of today and yesterday. Under the ancient such an accomplishment would have been impossible. For months an enlarged Oldsmo- bile engineering staff has been work- ing toward two purposes—one to cre- ate improvements and the ohter to reduce manufacturing costs without the sacrifice of quality. Every {dea was tried out thorough- ly before acceptance or rejection. Engines containing a proposed change were tested on dynamomet- ers for hundreds of hours and their every degree of performance regis- tered by delicate instruments. Then cars equipped with these engines were run thousands of miles around the 146 acre proving ground main- tained by General Motors corpora- tion. At the same time another group of experts was busy with manufactur- ing methods. New ideas shaved sec- onds off single operations. Machines that appeared to the layman to have uncanny intelligence and speed were improved upon. Changes in layout made further savings in time and labor. The result of these labors was the ability to make a better Oldsma- bile at a lower cost than ever be- fore. What Oldsmobile has succeeded in SUNDAY, AUGUST 23, 1925 accomplishing, and {ts continual striving for improvement toward per- fection, is just one illustration of the spirit that has made the auto- mobile business the foremost indus- try of this country and its crafts- men thepeers of the workers’ of all times, ———>__.

DETROIT, Aug. 22.—How Cadillac succeeded in its new car, recently announced, in producing what the company declares is the finest car it ever built, and at a-price lower than that of any of its predecessors, is a subject which is creating con- siderable discussion in motor plants in this city—the home of the automobile industry.

Grayson, U. s former aide to President Wil- son, attributed his escape from ser- fous injury to the strong steel run- ning board construction of the Mar- mon car. While driving in Washington, Ad- miral Grayson stopped at a street intersection to allow passengers to unload from a street car.
