This re cord, many believe, can hardly be equalled. , Tet with all this Oakland has rounded out its greatest fiscal year on July 31, during which the sales of the Oakland , Six have have more than- doubled during the last 12 months, exceeding by several thousand cars tha largest previous year In Its history for Oakland Six alone. The total production for the fiscal year, ending July , 31, ex ceeded more than 100,000 cars. At the presenttime a daily pro duction of 450 cars is being kept up on the Pontiac Six pending tie completion of the new J7.600.000 factory which will .permit a pro duction of 1000 of these cars a day.

MacDonald, traveling this territory fr he Harley Davidson Motor j Company, Mil waukee, has just ire turned from a two weks sales conference held at the factory July 14th to 28th. The unusual activity now taking place in the motorcycle business is the natural result of (the growing de mand for a more conomical type of personal transportation, ac cording to Mr. MatDcu)ald. "Trans portation is one ;of the greatest problems of this age and our com pany has studied it from all angles. There re millions of people in this country who are walking to and jfrom work and who are forced to! deny' themselves much healthful and jneeded rec reation, simply because they have felt they could njt afford to buy and operate existing forms of per sonal transportation.!

A new Star six stock touring: car was driven in and, around nearly every town in the county, covering a distance of 154.7 miles. The gasoline was measured and tank sealed by George H. McPhee. county sealer of weights and meas ures, in the presence of A. II. Patterson and It. A. Luhring. At the end of the run McPhee broke the seal of the tank and found that the total consumption was four and one half gallons, making a record of 34.37 miles per gallon. According to Franklin Hawatt. of the Anaheim" Bulletin, who acted as official observer on the trip, the car was driven at. an av erage speed of 28.1 miles per hour through the usual amount of Orange county traffic, never being allowed to coast, never having the clutch disengaged during the en tire time. The total distance was covered in five and one-half hours. The car driven by Clyde Hod nett was the same car that was used on the Yosemite "stingy" run which made such an excellnt show ing. This latest economy run is com parable to a run held in and around San Diego recently, in which the Star six averaged 33.1 miles per .gallon.
