September 28. shipment of mo- tor cars from the Studebaker fac tories passed the entire shipments made by Studebaker in the year of 1924.

The conmpany's adoption of the policy of not bringing 'out new yearly models has stabilized the value of Studebaker cars. The company has been building a large volume of reserve mileage into its cars, yet this was wasted each year when new models de preciated the existing cars by 40 per cent. The purchase of a car n'iw becomes a permanent invest ment in transportation not mere ly an annual outlay for style. With three full months to go. Studebaker's 1925 sales are well on the way to establishing a new annual sales record.

The Chevrolet Motor company built 55,865 motor cars and trucks dur ing September, a new record for that month and only 378 fewer than the highest production month in tbe history of the company. Ordinarily sales and consequent ly production are expected to de crease during the latter part of the year. However, the demand for Chevrolet cars which has held production at high figures throughout the year continues un diminished. As a result the sched ule for the present' month con templates the building of more than 54,500 cars and trucks. August deliveries to dealers in the United States alone were 41. 500, an August record. This fig- rure is exclusive of the thousands of cars shipped to foreign coun tries. During September deliv eries in the United States in creased to approximately 44,500, placing September second only to April and May of this year and exceeding the domestic deliveries for June, July and August respec tively. "I am proud of these records for two reasons," said Charles F. Barth. vice president in charge of production. "My first reason Is that since March the Chevrolet production has remained consistently at 50, 000 or more without the usual seasonable fluctuations. This in dicates that the automobile indus try Ib becoming stabilized upon a regular year-round demand. "My second reason is that the September production proved con clusively the loyalty and capacity of the Chevrolet manufacturing organization. Unceasing demand for cars from the Chevrolet deal- ers made it necessary early in Sep tember to increase the September production schedule nearly 7.000, th new schedule calling for 53,163 cars and trucks. A production in crease of that magnitude is a se vere test of any manufacturing or ganization. The sales department would have desired us to increase the production schedule even more sharply. The results exceeded our highest expectations. The loyal Model 20 Um 7T. I I Mouet M Radio StcnWrrs $13 to Model 10 without iVlG.EC .ii.i.i ,i ... ...in l.n.wl , .H,. i.. i i.iiii ,.

An Overland standard sedan, just off the assemlbly line, was attached to the trailer by a heavy chain. Four men occupied the sedan, while two attaches of the film unit remained in the truck to operate the heavy emergency brakes. The chain tautened, and slowly the 17,000 pound -trailer started down the street, towing it several hundred yards In high pear. After the rest was over, an official of the filnr company declared: "I would have wagered $100 to nothing that, that car would not have budded that, big load." The test was the more remark able because of its taking place on a hot day with the four huge wheels of the trailer sinking deep intb the soft asphalt street- It wa out of these ruts that, the standard sedan pulled the huge van while hundreds of spectators looked on in amazement.
