V ? lowet Cost Possible ' The Dnirersal Credit company plan -of time purchase permits the owners of Ford cars to boy them . .auIVIa finaniilli. MMt commensurate with sound bus! nesgf practices. J -Already the establishment of the IpniTersal Credit company has aroused national Interest on the part:of Ford dealers and Ford pur. chasers. The Ford, dealer wel comes the - creation of the new company because it offers him for the first time a finance plan with theJjsolld backing of the Ford 'Motor company behind it. The Ford purchaser is interested be cause the plan gives him a dis tinct advantage in low cost and contemplates the purchase of sou ltd insurance protection. In f the latter respect the joint interests of the purchaser and of the ford , dealer 0 are protectedd. The Ian includes the purchase by Universal Credit company of souuu and Adequate fire and theft insur ance covering the purchaser, the dealer and the company. The purchaser receives a standard fornyof policy of insurance provid ing protection for one year. These ; policies are issued by the Home In surance company oi xsew xora, one lot the largest in the world. The policies provide for settlement based on the actual cash value of the car at time of. loss. Boond Methods Followed' Enumerated among other ad vantages of the Universal Credit company plan of time purchase is the fact that the company is not operated with the primary and sole .purpose of profit, but. is cre ated'ffor the sound financing of the frd dealer and purchaser. The. creation of the new company Is expected to act as an added sale tool in the hands of the Ford dealer, who1 will thereby be able Biiu lanner io carry on the an nounced Ford policy of passing on to the consumer every possible economy.

Michigan, farmer. Lionel W. Kaye. He built the machine in the winter of 1924 and it has been running , ever since, giving good service. The motive power is pro duced bv a four-foot wheel of his own design mounted upon one end of the driving, shaft, which car ries a (large cream-separator gear on the other end. This assembly is carried upon two Fordson tractor fan ball bear, ings, which are, in turn, mounted in a rigid, oil-tight housing built of two-inch pipe and fittings which constitutes the frame and body of the machine. A special thrust ball bearing takes end loads. The driver unit is a Ford automobile generator that has been adapted to this purpose. The entire machine is carried upon a Ford front wheel outer oau bearing, the cone being mounted in the top of a pipe mast which supports it. The electrical circuit passes from the generator termi nal down into- the mast where six brass spring contacts transfer the current to the line. - The current goes to two control boards in two buildings where Ford cut-outs guard the battery connections. Al though current is produced at 6-S volts, it is used at 30, this being accomplished by means of storage batteries and a. special rotary dis tributor switch of original design. In operation this machine runs all the time, no matter how gen tle or how strong the wind may be. It begins to charge in a twelve-mile wind and gives about ten amperes in a iwenty-mile gale. in nign velocity wmas tne output reaches thirty amperes at which. It la limited by counter magnetisa tion. On a, test in a 40-45-mlle wind working on a 12-volt bat tery, the output was 20 amperes at -15 volts. Although this Is a severe overload, this generator has worked through all the high winds this year, frequently averaging 20 amperes for ten hours ' at a stretch; and It has not burned out Thi) machine has provided cur rent for lights, washing-machine motor, operated the Kaye radio and in addition has charged forty radio and auto batteries for others. mA Antv for a distance oi x miles at the summit oi uxe w Mountains between Jt-enojewm La Grande.

When one reach es the marker that designates the beginning of the measured mile, one should stop directly on the mark and set the odometer at zero precisely at tero.
