Inc. Today, this orjr.ml.ai ion is the third largest in the motor car Industry in production and sales and the second largea! where all manufacturing is done under one coporate title, with one dealer organization handling all lines, the Overland and the.

In indication of the buy-, inir trend of the motor car public at the present time when the lar ge and older instil tit ions are re ceiving over IMt'f or nil orders. According to Oettings -and Hanks, local representatives of Overland Willys-Knight cars, 'word has been received form tho factory tltat the balance of the year will see even greater production figures than linve ever been reached before in the history of the -manufacturer.- These production figures will apply not alone to the Overland Many New Ideas In 1 926 Buicks t S3 E" St w i Standard Six, five passenger two-door edan Huick . again demonstrated the marvelous resources ami abilities of I he automotive industry when It liulck.

And in face of these material and costly im provements lower prices are, an nounced through! the entire line of Standard and Master Sixes. The announcement and the 'showing or the better Hoicks sil enced the rumors that Huick would abandon the valve-in-head for another type engine which would permit of cheaper construc tion. The same principalcs that were inaiigraled by Huiclc 21 years ago and which have made It I he leader in t he industry have been adhered to throughout. The incchiinical improvements introduced would have been con sidered Impossibilities only a year ago. They p present the work of Huick research aiid engineering staffs constantly striving for bet terments. The new prices like wis repre sent achievements of the engineer iug. production and business de partments of the Huick organiza tion, and are in no small measure due to the phenomenal approval of Huicks by the public. This latter factor lias resulted in continuously increasing sales with the attendant possibilities of economics In pur chasing and production. The complete line Includes 16 models, six in the Standard Six and ten in the Muster Six clubs. In all cases the distinctive Huiclc lines have been continued, with refine ment. s such as the rounding of radiator lines and the iiddlliou of streamline mouldings.

All clos ed bodies are by Ms her and are upholstered In quality plush. Huick has always been noted for it ft Heated chassis, which prevents dirt or water entering any of the moving parts. Now it has added an air cleaner, oil filter and gasoline strainer.. These, combined with the standard Huick construction, prac tlcully eliminate the possibility of any foreign substance entering the engine or moving parts of tho chassis and. consequently, mini mize service requirements and add to the life of the car. Heca use t h est t h ree. ne w u niLs have no moving parts, there is nothing to get out of adjustment.

In teresting operations carried out in one department at the Highland I'ark plant of the Ford Motor Company in which a number of special Kurd designed machines pluy an important part. Just how much activity there Is In this department may be gained from the Tact that J J5 miles of steel ribbon is used daily In the production of roller bearings at tho present output schedule, per mitting the asembly of 61,000 complete bearings every day. The steel ribbon used Is five thirty-seconds of an inch thick and about an Inch wide. It is wound in l'ord designed and built machines known as "winders" and when It emerges from these mach ines Is in the form of a heavy spiral rod with a narrow opening through the center. The rods art cut into proper lengths lor tin rollers, and the short lengths art then hardened and tempered. Grinding operations in which the. rollers are ground to very close limits ure carried on In other 1-ord designed machines, know n as "centerless" grinders in which the precision necssdry iu the- rol lers Is easily regulated. The last operation before the rollers are finally assembled und welded in the cages Is one thro ugh which every finished bear. Ing must puss the process. ol of being demagnetized. Tract, ically every bearing o.lier having passed through the various manu facturing operation carries u certain amount of magnetism. It this remained the rollers would ha e a tendency to pick up und retain small pieces of sleet that1 might by chance get into the sle eve of the beuring. It Is not like ly, of course, tttat any harm would result iti'ti If this magne tism were not destroyed, but the policy followed is another bit ot evidence that t he Koid Motor Company Nv nothing undone to Insure the utmost of service In ul!

No law enacted with in recent years affects as many of the residents of Oregon us the act enacted at the 1 9-& legis lature for the protection of title of motor vehicles within the state through the Issuance of, eert tit rates of title und evidence of reg istration, und to regulate, the pur chase, tale or other transfer of ownership of motor vehicles, de clares Secretary of Htute Koxer. The law went Into effect July 1, und allowed only a little more than 30 days within which to make provision for Its administra tion while In practically every other state having a slmllur law six months to u year was ullowed for the purpose. It has been phy sically Impossible to provide the necessary machinery and facilities within the limited time, but It is expected the certificates of title for every motor vehicle operuted in Oregon, will be Issued by De cember 1, I9L'5. Every motor ve hicle owner In the state who hui not already applied for the i'e fuired certificate of title Is 'irged to do so Immediately. It Is esti mated that by the end of 1 925 there will be between ' 1 0.utiO und 216,000 motor vehicles In Oregon. Other raws Similar. ' Ten or twelve states have a sim ilar law to the Oregon luw. . In those states It Is claimed that mo tor vehicle thefts have been great ly reduced und ulso thut the ex istence of such a law has had a material effect upon tho rates charged by Insurance companies in connection with insurunce of mo tor vehicles.
