Salem Is growing with such ra pidity. he said when talking to a newspaperman, that houses are continually being built and are continually in demand. Besides, large buildings are hemg con structed.

PTIIL 1 EXGEI MADE BY HUP EIGHT The new General Motors car to be produced by the Oakland Motor Car company as an addition to the line, and a companion to the Oakland six will also be a six cylinder automobile and place this company among those now building two comletely different lines of six cylinder cans. This announcement confirm rumors which have been guessed ramer apuy tnat tne new car would also be a "six." based on the current trend of popular de mand for this type of car and the fact that the Oakland Motor Car company was one of the first Guilders of six cylinder motor car? In America and also of the mos successful. How far the trend has gone in this direction may be gauged by the fact that a large majority o all motor car comwanies in thi country produce one or more cars In the. six cylinder field. Thi3 trend has been particularly noticeable during the last year when a number of prominent com panies added a "six" to their lin or lours ana some eomnanies changed from the "four"' to th "six." In the low-priced six cylinder field the development ha been particularly rapid. All the research, designing an engineering facilities of the Gen eral Motors corporation and the Oakland Motor Car company, which has built high grade six cylinder cars continuously since 1913. are being devoted to the building of this new car. ' For several months the new sixes have been undergoing every possible kind of test at the Gen eral Motors pro.viug grounds at Milford, "Michigan and prondunced O.K. and now over $3,000,000 is being invested in new equipment for the expanding capacity of the Oakland factories, both to increase the production of the Oakland six and prepare for the new car. which will be produced in connection with it. 16 Year Old Boy Drives 434 Miles m 9 1-2 Hours In Tough pping . 5 p"'0 rafti ;$1795 You Too iU Be Pleased '- Trrauaands- of Ricknbacker Sixe extfPciwftdHhe utmort caution. mt-.'m. . t. .- ,. . - - a -- - . m. .ml hav been Old dunne the Ptt TKi;; now' ftr tevml mnnthi Wri month--ahcl thouaanbV, f i,e, Ull us they enjoy daily, ofvowner tay they have derived pleasure from the discerning of ret-joy from the possession of ; i new phases of performance in :3'Mnd thVitioit pleased of allare thoia "who at first were" super-critical ; Wfcf;who in the selection of, the car K-W.
