Final Assembly Proves to Be
of Most Interest to ;
' ' ; Guests ; '
DETROIT, Michigan, Feb 7.
The Highland Park plant of the
Ford Motor company continues' to
be the big attraction for Tlsltorg In
Detroit, and- they come from all
over the world! f -
Last year more than 122,00
people -were escorted through thP
plant. Guides are always on hand
tb show visitors the Interesting
phases of Ford" 'manufacture,- for
the company' invites inspection not
only of Its great plants In Detroit;
but also its assembly '' plants
throughout the country;" Summer
months bring the largest number
of visitors and .in 1924 August
held the record at HIghland'Park
with 30.640. ' ' .
' Among the distinguished ' visit
ors last : year was the Prince : of
Wales ' and the:' youngest of 'the
notables "was Jackie Coogan. Most
ever county was ; represented in
the visitors. : ; 1 ' ; '
To the average person the final
assembly, holds the' most interest.
Seeing 'a" car grow in a" few min
utes' from chassis to the finished
article has the greatest appeal of
all the Interesting sights at 4he
Highland 'Prirk; plant: Next, the
cchveyer systems register strong
est on the imagination, j after
which 'Interest is divided among a
number of major operations.
Using a Ford one-ton truck, Al
fred. Hay, Clintwood, Virginia, Iff
engaged in an enterprise that en
Joya ' national patronage. This
business is the gathering and ship
plug of moss which is used for
packing cut flowers, nursery stock,
and . similar uses. , Carload ship

Hudson-Essex. Show Large
Gain in Year's Production
. -
Scoring the largest gain in pro.
duction in the whole automobile
industry, : the Hudson Motor Car
company," produced more : than
134,000 Hudson and Essex cars
in 1 9 2 4, or an increase of greater
than 50 per cent over 1923, ac
cording to complete figures for
1924 which have just become
available. ' f
This sensational gain In ; busi
ness -was scored, it was said, de
spite a general setback in ' the
industry, and was based jointly
on the success of the Essex six
cylinder car and the great wave
of public demand for .closed cars
at moderate prices, which was ex
actly met by Hudson and Essex
coaches.'
The successful record for 1924,
it was said, marked the third suc
cessive year in which ; Hudson
Essex has established new produc-
H tion records. In 1922 about 60,-
000 cars were made a new rec
ord at that time; in 1923 a 50
per cent increase boosted ' this
total to 89,000; and in 1924 an-
more than '134,000.
; These three successive years ot
advance have been the ; years in
which i Hudson-Essex has special
ized in the coach. The first coach
ever developed was shown at the
1922 show on an Essex chassis; It
was the : automobile Industry's
first attempt to produce an en
closed car at practically, an open
car price 5-i -
The strong tendency to enclosed
cars since then has carried Hudson-Essex
on a wave of ever in
creasing business. This year found
Hudson-Essex business . 90 per
cent - in coaches, with open : can
in recent months a rarity. This
specialization: has .so simplified
manufacture that both Hudson
and Essex-are "now sold at a lower
price than open " ones the 'only
case of the sort on" record. ; !
In the three years f Hudson
Essex has made more than lSX),
000 coaches. '
With publlo demand as it is, the
Hudson-Essex plans are once more
to" Increase volume on the coaches
so that a new, high , production
record is expected in 1925. :
In "recent months, the demand
for enclosed cars has greatly in
creased in foreign countries as
well as in America, so that coach
es shipped to Great Britain now
outnumber open cars. The same
tendency is noted In' other mar
kets. This is held to confirm the
fundamental: advantages of the
coach. :- 1. ?

Unique Demonstration ' V
r f.Tade By Oldsmobile
. An automobile operated and,
steered' by radio was what hun
dreds of persons thought they
witnessed recently during' a. de
monstration" of an " , Oldsmobile
coach ; staged' by the McGeehan
Oldsmobile company, distributors
for' Olds Motor works, at Fargo,
K D. The car was started on a
40-foot cinder track " In- a vacant
lot.' The throttle was set at 3
piles ti hour, the Bteering. wheel
turned' tor make the correct circles
and left, unfastened, "as the car
operated. The Oldsmobile ran In
this- manner. 12 hours a day for
four days- in "weather - that" neaTed
zero;t6mpera"ture., The total mile
age J for the- 48-hours vra.s 162
miles, and r' the gas consumption
averaged . 23.7 miles per gallon:
The unfastened- steering7 wheel
and the quietness wfth -which the
engine operated : caused many of
those who' saw the demonstration
to believe the car was controlled
and operated by 'wireless. -; '

MORR THAN 12,000,000'
' r OP USED CARS
; "Remember- that after all is
said and done, every car you see
on the road and there-are more
than . 12,000,000 of them Is ' a
used car," says Byron C Wright,
of the Certified PubUc Motor Car
market. ''Thecertlfled . car is of
fering to the public a good legi
timate piece of merchandise; It
filing a wide, economic need, that
of individual transportation.' The
public can be served with used as
welj as new cars. And this busi
ness is worth going after, because
from the dealer's standpoint -the
sale of used cars brings him in
contact with a wider range of
people in his community than does
his new car business, where he' is
confined to a certain price class.
Any1 business, to grow, needs the
greatest possible number! of hu
man contracts."
