Coast Advertising Manager,
T : Gets Doj.c In Toledo.
Interesting: news about the new
Willys-Knipht car eoon to be placed
before the public by the Willys-Overland
company, was brought to Tort
land direct from headquarters in To
ledo last week by Allan R. Fernald,
Btituting a business policy that will
make for still greater co-operation.
"A plan whereby the men them
selves will practically run their own
departments, under their own su
pervision, was placed before em
ployes of the Tortland branch for
adoption. The plan met with much
favor, and was immediately-adopted
as the future policy of the organiza
tion as a whole.
"Briefly, the plan Is to have each
department elect one of its members
to represent it in a council composed
of representatives of all departments,
who will act upon the problems aris
ing ' in the different departments,
which in turn will be acted upon by a
senior council composed of the man
ager of the branch together with the
actual heads of the different depart
ments. This body will refer all
adopted measures to the supreme
council, which is composed of the
president of the company and the
board of directors, after which it be
comes one of the business policies of
the organization under the new plan.
."A careful survey of the monthly
business of this organization for the
last three years has been made and
the average monthly operating cost
determined. In the future each de
partment will benefit monthly in ac
cordance with the savings it has ef
fected as compared with the three
years' average period figure, together
with the increased eales. In other
words, the men will benefit by de-

raclfic coast advertising director for
the Company. Mr. Fernald, whose
headquarters are in San Francisco,
passed one day in Portland en route
from "Toledo, where he has been in
conference with company officials for
the past month.
So much has been heard of the new
Willys-Knight, the debut of which
has been put off from time to time
because of material shortage and
tui-h, . that Mr. Fernald's announce
ment that a' full line, of models of
the new car will bo on exhibition at
the Portland show, will be received
with enthusiasm.
Very soon following the show, prob
ably in March, he said, the new car
will be ready for delivery. The Willys
Knight models Mr. Fernald promises
for the Portland show will include
five-passenger touring, sedan and
roadster.
Una Famous Ivnlcht Motor.
This car itself is entirely different
In body lines and chassis construction
from ! the former Willys-Knight, It
has 'the same wonderful Knight
sleeve-valve motor, to be cure, but
with several refinements.
'It is a bear of a car. no less," de
clared Mr. Fernald. "It is one of the
most stylish cars ever built, and as
lor convenience it is the very last
word.. .
"The many persons who have been
waiting so long for a glimpse at this
car will be truly surprised, for it
will be so much more than they have
expected. The new Willys-Knight will
without question be one of the most
popular cars ever built. Jt will cre
ate as much of a sensation in its
class as has the new little Overland
4 with the triplex springs.
"Conditions have greatly improved
at Toledo since my last visit at the
factory. Production on a quantity
basis is once more under way. While
the problem of materials is bothering
virtually all the factories just now,
very few of them are in as good a
position in this connection as Willys
Overland. Fctorjr Turns 'Km Out Fut
Tbe new Overland 4 Is being pro
duced at the rate of 600 a day and
the factory is all ready to fewing into
production on a big scale of tho new
Willys-Knight."
Mr. Fernand hopes to be in Portland
for. at least a part of automobile show
week, which is from February 23 to
IS.- But it is going to hustle him
a Jot to do this, owing to the fact
tlt the San Francisco automobile
frhow will be held from February 21
to2S. The Portland show will begin
on a Monday, whereas the San Fran
eleco show will begin the preceding
Saturday. Otherwise the dates are
identical.
In one respect the San Francisco
shew will be bigger and greater than
nny previous automobile show ever
beld on the Pacific coast. This for
tbe reason that it will be a national
i-hOw, one of three such, the New
York, Chicago and San Francisco
thows, given by the motor car man
ufacturers themselves. Like the New
York and Chicago shows, the one et
San Francisco will be under the aus
ptces of the national automobile
chamber of commerce.
creased expenses and increased sales,
which will be distributed in each de
partment in accordance with its earn
ings for that month.
"Four cornerstones of this better
business policy were laid at' different
meetings during the week, the cor
nerstones being called justice, co-op
eration, energy and economy and the t
cap stone Deing caiiea service, wnicn
has been the copyrighted trademark
for the organization for many years.
"The entire plan and cornerstones
were subscribed to by every employe
at the Portland branch, with the sig
natures of the officials as a binding
agreement between them henceforth
to conduct themselves and tbe busi
ness upon the principles adopted un
der the new plan."

Harry XL. Laxnster, Advertislaj
JUanager, Explains Plan Just
; Made Effective Here.
"Harry K. Lamster, advertising mr.n
timer of the William L. Hughson com
pany, large coastwise distributors of
Federal trucks. I.ee line trailers and
motor truck equipment, and Ford
ears, while In Portland last week
made tho following announcement of
tnew policy initiated by the com
pany.
-It has been the custom of the
William La. Hoghson company to di
tribute a bonus annually to its em
Playes," said Mr. Lamster, "based on
th.e profits accrued during the cur
rent year, and distributed to the men
in proportion to their earnings for
the year. We have now decided to
establish an even closer relationship
of 1919. This information was re
ceived by Robert E. Allen of the firm
from the Thermoid factory last week.
.This was In competition against
such tire centers as San Francisco,
Los Angeles' and Seattle., where the
Thermoid tire has long been estab
lished. Especially in Los Angeles are
eales of Thermoid tires very heavy.
What makes the record of the Allen
& Hebard company all the more un
usual is that it obtained the Ther
moid account and introduced "Ther
moid tires here a little less than a
year and a half ago. Yet In that time
the demand for these tires has grown
to such an extent that Jt has beaten
the tales records of distributors in
all the other coast cities for the final
quarter of the year.
At first the Allen & Hebard com
pany had only Portland and a very
little outside territory, but the Ther
moid Rubber company some time ago,
in recognition of its fine work here,
enlarged its territory to take in all
of Oregon and Clarke county, Wash.,
which includes Vancouver. Since then
its eales records have been mount
ing higher and higher each month.
Among the users of Thermoid tires at
present is the Oregon state highway
commission, which now equips all its
cars with Thermoids.
As most persons know, Thermoid
tires are made by the same company
that manufactures the famous Ther
moid brake lining for automobiles.
Heretofore the company has made
only fabric tires, but Mr. Allen has
just received word that the ffrst
shipments of the new Thermoid cord
tire axe on their way to him in Port
land. This shipment includes a carload
and a half of cord tires, in 32x4 Vi.
34x4 and 35x4 sizes. Other' sizes
will be added at once, however, by
the factory. The cord tire is sold on

"Loafing Range" Economy
and "Sporting Range" Luxury
Both in the Same Car
Several of the master builders of '
motor cars have succeeded in pro
ducing cars that have an ideally
6oft smooth performance by
sacrificing the more rugged
virtues.
Afewhave produced cars capable
of prodigious feats of power and
of tremendous speed by sacri
ficing the gentler virtues.
The Peerless Eighty Horse
power Eight has two separate and
distinct power ranges that com
bine both the gentle and the rug
ged virtues in one and the same
car. Let us demonstrate.

a full SOOO-mlle adjustment basis,
with the same slogan as applies to
Thermoid fabric tires: "They make
good or we do."
The treads 'on the new cord tires
are made of the same crolide com
pound rubber that has made the fab
ric tires so well known. This crolide
compound is exclusive with Thermoid
tfres, the compound being- made from
a method discovered at the company's
laboratories after hundreds of experi
ments. Some idea of the volume of busi
ness tbe Allen & Hebard company is
doin in Thermoid tires may be
sained from the fact that at present
it has ordered frcm the factory no
less than three and one-half carloads,
including1 the one and one-half car
loads of ' cord tires already men
tioned. This ordir is to be increased
for many of the tires now on the way
have been sold already to dealers.

When the spark gap of a plug is
too great there Is dangef of burning

from the heat engendered by the ex
