That's a big and' interesting. f am" ily. - The Vlley Motor serves most of them-a and many ' others from outside, f , i l:S-,:,hi.i,- .'. The Valley Motor company specializes on Fords. To do this the company has installed one of the most complete Ford .. repair shops Itf-' the west." There-are 28 skilled '-employes in thes machine shop- alone. " . ; The ompany has specialized Ford machines for al most every kind of repair opera tion, so that It is able to' give prac tically a factory service-.

Th9 company 7 has its de partment rivalries. n which the parts depaftfnent" a'rid the'- sales force and the mechanical division fight It out for the best service. Last ' month,- the mechanics led the . rivalry.- Regular f meetings are held In the departments where the men get ' together and ' talk thy name!? But the Valley Mo r - people; really give- "service." There Is a man . whose" Only duty t Is to see that every one gets exastly hat he wants. If It is a mater of . repairing, he follows it through 1 the . shop, pounding the mechanics on the back until It is done : and. xeady for delivery. If t Is ordering a special part, from stock or by mall or wire, he sees that it is done.: He doesn't real ly "work," : himself, but he keeps the rest of the. "gang" powerfully busy - It is service in capital let- lers. r f- - i: . .. An Immense stock of parts '.Is constantly carried, ,. so that the company could build' a dozen com plete "new,; cars," and" still have oceans of the most used parts left, from Us parts stock. It Is believ ed that there is no other company In Oregon, '-representing any car or machine of any kind, that car ries to large .a etock tor replace ments. The company pays taxes to the amount of more than 82,000, and t ranks as one of the leading em ployers of labor in Salem. It has had several partial changes in per sonnel, but the sme old business continues and grows steadily larg er j and . more Interesting. It has reached .the point of being a real Salem, business leader; for; which everybody , has a good C word be cause it stands for high and clean business ideals.
