The factory is located at Mare Hill, According to Charies W. Nash, president of the Lafayette Motors Co, present orders are running about 100 ahead of prodaction. In the first year of business, $00 Lafay ette cars have been shipped to dis tributers and 700 are now in the hands of owners. Present plans for increased production, according to Nash, Includes a capacity for 100 cars & month. Thirty distributors are selling the cars, Whe the production statistics for the firgt year fall short of tite mark sot, Mr. Nash considers the record & good one, as the business depres- sion set in almost simultancourly with the shipment of the first car from the factory in 1920, Smith Spikes Rumor of Republic Change The rumor that the establishment of factory branches in New York, Boston, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, De- trolt and Chicago foreshadows the replacing of the Republic Truck Sales corporation system of dis. tribution, was effectively spiked Sat- urday by Col. Frank E. Smith, Yice president of the company. “The Republic Co, is only carrying out its standard policy of maintain. ing and where necessary enlarging | ite sales and service facilities for the benefit of Republic truck users.” The establishment ot these branches, Smith says, will insure closer personal contact between Re- public operators and the manufac: turer, mainly for the maintenance of | thelr equipment at its highest pos the present business situation of) the country, When asked for bis opinion on this | subject, Roberts said: “The question | permits of but one answer: there has been a very marked change for the better within the past few | montha. There has been little im | | provement with reference to unem- | ployment, in fact, it is dowbtful if the number of idle men in thevcoun- try shows é@ny ‘decrease, but the the reading of the univernglly rec-| lognized business barometer—the money market—is unmistakable, = | Even the greatest pessimist will! | grudgingly admit that the New York | banks are accumulating tmmense |eurpluses, and these surpluses are said to be greater than at any time im the previous history of the coun: try. Without doubt there will be tem- | porary Queries of depression and lo- cal conditions will retard progress Jin many sections.

It cannot re- main idle and its earnings lost. Al- ready one result of this has been | reflected in the general lowering of Interest rates and ft i @ fact that the financial situation is very de- | cldedly easier in the East. As an instance of this I might refer to my own factory connection, the Oakland Motor Car company, a unit of the powerful General Motors | corporation.
