Great Campaign to In

With the Pacific coast Star car
factory working at capacity to
supply the demands the Star cars
Chat are coming from dealers in all
sections of the Pacific coast.
George R. Morris, salesmanager
announces that orders calling for
March delivery on over 1000 cars
have been received from the Pa
cific Northwest alone and are a
direct result of the enthusiastic
sales meetings held in that section
recently and which were attended
by Norman de Vaux, active head
of the Pacific coast Star car fac
tory. James Houlihan, advertis
ing counsel, and George R. Mor
ris.
The local Star chief said that
his party received rone, of ;' the
heartiest receptions that he has
ever experienced and that the en
thusiasm of the dealers plus the
public Interest displayed in his
factory's models clearly demon
strated "what the coming year was
to mean to the Pacific coast Star
car factory and its dealers.
"A good conception may be ob-i
i
tained of what we can expect,'
Morris stated, ' "when I say thai I
over loo u star cars nave oeen
ordered for March delivery from
Washington land Oregon : alone
and does hot Include the avalanche
of orders we have received , from
dealers In California, Nevada. Id

Complete History of Mi
imum production in the most effic
lent manner possible.
wnen star car sales reached a
total of approximately of 150.000
vehicles in 1926 which placed
in ninth position in the automo
tive industry, officials of the pro
ducing organization decided on a
tremendous sales campaign for
1927 to be strengthened by a
sweeping advertising " program
After a consultation with James.
Houlihan, the Pacific coast Star
car factory officials mapped out a
plan which will include nearly
1000 newspapers In the advertis
ing campaign through which the
Star car message wfll be carried
into the homes of over a million
people in the Pacific coast terri
tory.
Following the recent price re
duction in all lines of Star cars a
short time ago, the demand for
these units became so great that
it became Imperative that the fac
tory devise some means for In
creasing production. As a result
between $60,000 and $70,000 was
expended for the installation of a
new conveyor system in the body
department which would speed up
the handling of car units in that
section. This new device not
only facillated . production but
materially heightened the finesse
of workmanship. :
The visit of de Vaux and his
party to the Northwestern sections
proved such a success that plana
have been made for these same
officials to attend similar meetings
throughout the Pacific coast terri
tory. , They will personally advise
the various dealers of the sales
and i advertising plans that nave
been, made and of the results that

Introduction of New Mach
ine Follows Long Felt
Need for Such Work
Announcement has just been
made by Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., pres
ident of General Motors, of the ad
vent of the LaSalle, new compan
ion car to Cadillac.
ine introduction or this new
quality car is In response to a
long felt need for a fine car pos
sessing the qualities and charac
tcristics of the Cadillac yet not
Quite so large.
Building as it does a car for
evry purse and purpose, General
.co tors now further, completes its
extensive line and places in the
fine car field a car which covers a
wide range of requirements at
prices midway, between Cadillac
and the' finer medium priced cars.
In keeping with a well- defined
General Motors policy which pro
vides that Its great plants through
out the country . shall operate on
a basis of highest efficiency In or-
de that the greatest dollar value
ray be passed on to the purchas
er, the new LaSalle will be built
by that . unit of the - corporation
whose experience and manufactur
ing facilities best fit it for the un-
dcr taking. -.t; ti,

its nation-wide acceptance is as
sured. The LaSalle possesses those ex cellent
qualities and performance
characteristics which the public
Las come to expect of General
Motors products. It is a fitting
companion car to Cadillac in every
sense of the word.
Designed and developed in the
experimental laboratories of Gen
eral Motors and Cadillac, the new
car has withstood the trying tests
of 'the great proving ground at
Milford, Michigan, and the gruel
ling grind of cross-country runs
in the hands of seasoned engineers
and motor car experts.
Twenty-fiVe years of successful
manufacturing and almost four
teen years of adherence to a pro
Vn engine principle stand square
ly behind this newest General Mo
tors product.
The LaSalle takes its name
from Rene Robert Savelier Sieur
de laSalle, illustrious French gen
tleman and explorer, contempor
?ry of Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac.
CAMEL LOSES JOB
TO
Dodge Brothers motor cars and
Graham Brothers trucks and mo
tor coaches are gradually crowd
ing the picturesque camel and
mule caravans to the side of the
roads in the Orient. The hauling
time between Teheran, the Pers
ian capitol and Bagdad by camel
is twenty-one days and by motor
three days.
The difficult transportation
problem which confronted the
members of the University of
Michigan expedition to the Near
East were likewise solved -by
Dodge Brothers motor cars and a
Graham Brothers truck. In his
report of the trip Professor
George R. Swain credited much of
the success of the expedition to his
motor equipment.
"We had to drive over roadless
desert wastes and through sticky
mud, ford streams, follow barely
discernible cart tracks under
guidance of natives and feel our
way along roads hidden by red
dish flood waters."
A very complete assortment of
spare parts for the Dodge Brothers
motor cars and a Graham Brothers
truck was part of the expedition
equipment.
"But not one of the spare parts
was ever needed," adds Professor
Swain. "The cars returned from
their vigorous usage on every con
ceivable sort of road in perfect
condition."
Mail and passengers are now
transported , on regular schedules
by Dodge Brothers motor cars
ever the ancient caravan route be
tween Beyrouth and Bagdad to
Damascus.
