The 6-66 line has won this high place in the market where cars sell for more than $2,000 in little over a year's time and has shot past two score makes that have been' occupying their places high among the lead ers for a" number of years. "There are some 43 well known companies offering cars listing for over $2000," says HaYry M. Jewett, president of the Paige- Detroit Motor Car company. Taking Paige 6-86 sales alone and comparing them, we find but two that top the Paige 6-66 line in volume of sales. Both are f&nr ous makes with 20 years prestige behind them; and the one that crowded us out of second place In the fine car field did so by tens and not hundreds. . "No market is more desirable than the quality market. None is more difficult to secure. Sales In this market depend on pres tige and prestige is believed to be a matter of ten or twenty years growth.

H. Milson, director, and his capable corps of volunteer in Uructors, has-led to the promise of a lot of machine equipment that will make it a model shop for doing and for teaching almost ev ery" line of automobile work. The classes are carried on, days and evenings, almost with out intermission. The students come from almost every class. There are professional men who come in of evenings, anxious to learn more about the care of their own cars. There are farmers who want to know more about gas en gines, either for car or truck or tractor: there nra ambition Inrls. stock fascinated by machinery, who want io taae up regular snop work. There are partly trained mechanics who are almost ready to start out as professional gar age men, but feel that they ought to" be a little better prepared be fore launching out in their own names. All these come to the shop, for practical.as well as theoretical work and some work as long rours as they ever .would in a shop of their own.' The course, however. Is "better than mere routine shop work on. wages: for they have a progressive" course that brings ev ery kind 'of difficulty and its spe; cific remedy before them, and all they have to do after mastering such a course Is to learn the man ual dexterity of the trade. Some of the expert mechanics of Salem have done some excellent work in showing the best modern shop methods in this school. FN day nigh, J. Walsh took up and operated for the school his new electric cylinder drilling machine that promises to work a revolu tion in cylinder repair work. The machine runs on a one-sixth horse-power electric motor, can be carried anywhere that a hand grip can be carried, and dresses out and re-bores any auto cylin der, a whole set of them right on most cars in less time than the engine cqnld be taken out of the car for reboring or regrlnding in the usual way. The state school expects to have one of these unique machines of its own next fall. Two of the school mechanics plan to set up a shop of their own here in Salem, in the near future; another isplannlng on a shop ot his own in eastern Oregon; others are to go to work in garages in the near future; and in general, the school work is prospering very gTatifylngly. mm ...
