DLDS BODIES ME BUILT AT PLANT New Fisher Body Plant Now Connected by Archway of Olds Motor Work's E nil 300 Per Cent Increase Is Shown Over February 1923; Other Recorcfr TO TRY SIDEWALK"' SimV AYS Buenos Aires Has Scheme to Safe guard Pedestrians PONTIAC, Mich.. March 16. During the month of February, the Oakland Motor Car company broke all previous Oakland sales records for a single month. Sales for Feb ruary exceeded the previous record month of June, 1919, by over 1000 cars. The figures show a 300 per cent increase over February, 1923, and are more than 59 per cent great er than February, 1919, which was the previous record February for sales. During the last five months per iod, starting with October 1st, one month after the new models were introduced, the total of Oakland cars sold was greater than the same five months periods in 1919 and 1920, which held the prev ious sales record for these months. Two other monthly records also went tumbling, when sales for No vember and December beat the previous high November and De cember of 1919. Iluenos Aires is soon to have a try at the subway street crossing scheme so often discussed as a par tial solution of the traffic difficul ties of North American cities if the intendente ratifies a motion re cently passed by the city council. The details of the plan have not yet been worked out, but the coun cil has been assured that the scheme can be satisfactorily adapted to conditions. It is pro posed to give it a try-out at one or two of the busiest corners, with the possibility that if it proves suc cessful, similar construction will be undertaken at a number of points in the downtown district. Dainty Frenchman Refuses Service From Dirty Hands (By Mail) HAVRE, Feb. 26. Jean Durand went into court recently in support of the gospel of clean hands. He was arrested because he refused to give his railroad ticket to the con ductor on the train from Paris. "He wore no gloves," ' Durand explained to the desk - sergeant, "and who knows how many mi crobes had gathered on his hands from the tickets of others?" The police let Durand off with the admonition hereafter to obey the law that requires tickets to be presented, even' to ungloved trainmen.

Another step toward becoming a wholly self-contained automobile factory was taken by the Olds Mo tor Works this week when its pro duction line and that of the new Fisher Body Corporation's plant in Lansing, Mich., were joined and the first closed car body moved through the archway separating the two buildings. The Olds Motor Works now is one of the few auto mobile factories in the world where all of its bodies are built at the same place the chassis and en gines are manufactured. The change eliminates the ship ping of Oldsmobile closed bodies to Lansing, and removes any chance of the bodies being dam aged in shipment. It also will permit an enlarged production sch edule, which is badly needed to meet the big demands for the new Oldsmobile Six. Last November the Fisher Body Corporation, in conjunction with A. B. C. Hardy, president and gen eral manager of OldB Motor Works' announced that the Fisher organi sation would take over a modern three-tory unit of the Olds plant for the exclusive construction of Oldsmobile closed bodies. Engi neers and body experts of the Fish er organization supervised the lay out of the plant and Installation of new machinery. The finished plant was inspected by Fred Fisher, head of the cor poration, last week, and he declar ed that it was the most efficient plant in the world for the econ omic and quick production of qual ity closed bodies. "FEAR DISPELLED" (Continued from Column 2) ported. "The impression seems to have been that the dealers were seeking a monopoly on used car trades. "In both these cases, and in a number of others which have been reported to me by other dealers, the owners have been amply sat isfied when the Appleby plan has teen explained correctly. In both these cases, the cars were ap praised and the owners declared that their treatment had been much better than anticipated. "As a matter of fact, the mar ket is designed to aid owners in disposing of their old cars, rather than hinder them. Our only con nection is to provide the outlet through which their cars can be rold to best advantage. The mar ket is run by the public alone shall dictate the values allowed for old cars. No dealer in Salem has any control or voice over this. "Naturally, the markets cannot succeed unless they have cars to sell, and in order to get cars to rell, they must be appraised at i I-rice satisfactory to the owners. On the other hand, the market can not succeed unless the cars are sold, as well as taken in. In oracr 10 sen tne cars, tne ap praisals must not be for more than they are worth. In each case, the car owner or buyer has full power u. tell our manager what they majr allow for old cars in order to move them through the market. "Incidentally, the public receives a material saving owing to the fact that all of the dealers handle their trades through a central clearing house, the Individual overheads are cat down, and this' is reflected to the owners in reduced selling 1 Is it Necessary of for AcccssoriesTI Emphatically, we say No!
