OVER 100 COUNTRIES BUY AMERICAN AUTOMOBILES Foreign Lands Pay $1,000,000 Per Day to United States Auto Manufacturers. Over one hundred countries, colonies and islands received American-made automobiles durifg the year 1920. One million dollars per day was the sum paid by foreign countries to Ameri- can manufacturers for automobiles, tires and accessories. This tremendous buying is prophetic of the great foreign market which merica is just beginning to develop. it indicates,” says Jordan, president of the Jordan Motor Car Com- pany, “the standing and prestige that American automobiles enjoy abroas | People of all creeds, colors and races have learned of the high degree of de- pendsbility which may be secured by America’s automotive products. In the 1,250,000,000 worth of automobiles have left our shores for Persia, Iceland, England, Australia, Samoa and countless other far-distant countries. So keen has been the demand for | American automobiles that Europe, in the first nine months of 1920, bought over ity million dollars’ worth of cars, as against half that amount the pre- ceding year. Great Britain alone paid American manufacturers over $27,000,000 in 1920, aa nst $5,000,000 in the same months ofast. Those who talk of the saturation point in the automobile industry have no con- ception of the vast undeveloped terri- torles of the world. e GUARD AGAINST RATTLE. ‘Ways to Cure Looseness of Splash Protector on Fender. | | From Motor. The splasher guard of the front fender is usually bent inward and held to the frame by a row of com- | mon iron stove bolts—often without lock washers. Of course. they loosen under the constgnt vibration and wracking, and if a rubber filler strip js put between the guard and the frame this dries up and perishes, which makes the looseness worse th_;’l‘l ever. ere are two easy ways of c'}n this. One is to reinforce the e li of the guard, provide the reinforce- ment with three or four lugs or pro- Jjections so that it will only actuall touch the frame at these points, then put a decent-sized bolt through each point of contact. This allows the guard and the frame to weave independently, and eliminates chafe. ‘The other method is to bead the edge of the guard over a stiffening wire and clip it rigidly to the fender irons. The beaded edge of the guard then comss glose .to the ro T < t route, 240.5 miles (via Baltimore and } through Hyattsville and Laurel to) Before entering the city | eighth of an Inch, but does not nc(ual-l(m-hed to it.
