HI GOOD The Star Motor Co., of Califor nia completed its first month's production of 192 4 models on Fri day with a Volume very close, from a quantity standpoint, to Its record manufacturing month of last May. That the mark of May was not exceeded was due alone to material shortages, the orders on hand at the factory in Oakland being greater on,, December 1st than on any previous period since the first Star car was produced in Oakland 14 months ago. If percentage gains in business can be accepted as a criterion, the prospects awaiting the 1924 Star are exceedingly rosy for dealers all over the Pacific coast. San Francisco, Los ' Angeles, Oakland,' Sacramento dealers have sent car requirement orders to Sales Manager Forrest Arnold of the western Star executive offices, which are more than double the quantity from the same territories during a like period of 1922, Im mediately following the introduc tion of the models. Spokane's request for, 19 2 4 cars is three times in excess of the sales NOW is the time to have the car painted for Fall and Win ter use HERB is the place to have it done.
