New Britain Herald Newspaper, April 27, 1929, Page 9

Speaking of Sports 8unday will be the birthday of the New Britain Herald sport page. In fact §t will be the 26th anniversary of the start of a sporting section in the newspaper. The page was born on April 28, 1904. Before that date, sports were covered locally but they were placed anywhere at all in the naper and not under a special head- ing. The first sport page carries pic- turcs of Fred Jean and John Bur- gess, crack center and goal tender an the then world champion roller polo team. They "had just returned ‘rom Marion, Indiana, where they had become the idols of the sport- ing populace. Another item states that a meet- ing of the managers of teams in the factory league would be called soon to get ready for the coming baseball season. The season wus expected to open About the first week in June. Then the columns are devoted to an account of the play in the major leagues with a line of scores and a set of standings. Then the writer goes on to decry the poor weather for the opening day in the Connecticut Baseball league. Several other items from wide-spread places tells of mud- runners of the turf, high school g2mes about the state and the pos. ®ibility of a church league being formed. The sports accounts ran just three columns, a small section in com- parison with what the paper devotes to sport today. The All-Kensington baseball team nractices this afternoon at 2 o'clock and again tomorrow afternoon at 2 o'clock. All candidates are asked fo report. The Seneca A.

Yet, to date Auburn deliveries are nearly double those for the same period of last year. More Auburn cars will be built and sold the first 6 months of this year than for the 12 months of 1928, which was our banner year. Today’s demand for Auburn cars is the fruition of more than four years of accumulative proof that Auburn actually does build more advanced types of cars, and does build better cars, and does give greater value for less money. But even that is not the keynote to Auburn's progressive policy. Mr.E.L.Cord says the customers of the factory are the ones most entitled to benefit from that fac- tory’s success. Auburn puts these benefits back into the merchandise itself. Auburn’s growth is retroactive to Auburn buyers in the form of continu- ally bigger values for less money. E. L. Cord says: The best way to pretost the custemer's investment, and give him bigger value Soe loss esst, is to supply the Mind of ears poople wamnt, 0o that they are sold before they are bulit. Proof that the public knows how to compare values is evidenced in Auburn’s sales jump of 71% the first 3 months of this year. The demand was instantaneous to place the buyer’s interest uppermost. Today it is universally conceded that the Straight Eight type of car out ranks all others in superla- tive quality, smoother perform. ance, longer life and higher resale value, Now Auburn has completely and conclusively proven the Straight Eight to be as economical as a Six. And Auburn offers a Straight Eight for less than many Sixes. and is steadily increasing. To care for this demand we enlarged our factory capacity 2009, in- creased our number of employees 100%, and increased our produc- tion 100%. Yet, despite our great production increase, Auburn cars continue While we regret that any one has had to take a “second choice” car because they could not wait for an Auburn, obviously that is one penalty we must pay for operat- ing our business on the oversold policy. oversold. The demand far ex- ceeds the immediate supply. The significant thing is that Auburn’s oversold condition operates in favor of the public. Only when a factory is in thi condition, and not influenced by expediency requirements, is it free We want te ask all whees first ololes is for Auburm cars to be o Httle patisnt.
