J. Brosseau - Predicting the continuance dur ing the remaining months of 1928 of the high motor truck produc tion which has marked the first 8 months. A. J. Broasean. chair man of the motor tduck commit tee. National Automobile Cham ber of Commerce, in the reriew of truck prospects Just issued fore sees the possibility of 1928 equal ling if not surpassing the record ar of 1925. he National Automobile Chamber of Commerce figure or 5 trucks produced - in the States and Canada 1b Aug ust sets a new high mark for the production of trucks in any month since the beginning of the indus try," Mr. Brosseau points ont, "the prerious high mark of 61. 18" having been set in September 1925. This high production con tinues the movement which be gan in May and whichcharacter lzed the early summer months of this year." "The accelerated prod action In mid-year has resulted In a total of 377.954 trucks produced to September 1st. as compared with 358.2.34, during the same period last year, and ' 346 528 produced during the first eight months of 12 5. the truck industry record yar. In 1925 a total of 831.6 IS trucks were produced, due chiefly to a well-sustained production toward the end of the vear. Pro duction was also continued at W good leTel toward the end of 19261 whea a total of 529.920 truck wrrti produced. The rather mark ed reduction in the output of .trvsks during the last quarter of SySkfai7 carried the total for that mf"ir below the half million mark 1 At ' y , i v 4 .

A production dur ing the last four months of 19 28 eoual to the lart four months of 1025 or 1926 would make a mw record this year a certainty." "The gains made this year," says Mr. Brosseau. "are due chief ly to the .notable Increase fn fast, light trucks having a capacity of two tons or less than two-tons. Thi. largest gain In the light t' jjflel has been In the two-ton cl .aty.n which 21,230 trucks were produced in the first 8 months of 1928, as compared with I3.99(r'in the same period of 1927. The next largest gain was made In the i- ton class, with the one-ton and ! -ton classes following. It may 1 be interesting to note in passing anr tne 377.954 trucks pro- in the first 8 months of this ar, about 2 40,000 or more than f. were trucks of one-ton ca nity. Foreign countries have been orbing trucks made in the United States and Canada at n record rate this year, 101.92S having been exported during the first eight months. This com pares with 90.34 3 trucks exported during the Tirst eight months of 1927. There is every indication that, if export of trucks is contin ued in the last quarter at the lev els prevailing in previous years. 1928 will equal, if not surpass, the record total of 1927. when 127 -f 06 trucks were shipped overseas. "With the acceleration of gen eral business during the fall months and with the many new models of greatly Improved trucks recently placed on the market ready to serve the expanding needs of industry and commerce, there is every indication that the remaining months of this year will bring to the truck Industry satisfactory, if not a record-breaking, amount of business." KENOSHA, Wis.. Oct. 13 (Spe cial) Whea world fame or lonel lea'th is balanced in the perform ance value of an Internal corabus- f n engine, the men who ride high adventure in these modern, speedy iaya must give expert and con. rentrated attention to mechanicalJ details in order to live and blase new trails. , Col. Arthur C.

Lindbergh, Commander Byrd. Lieut. Maitland and John P. Wood, winner of the ecent National Reliability Air Tour, have all backed their -judg-nent with their lives and arubi Jons on the principle of twin-ig nition. They are al lalive and have .von their goals! Twin Ignition Motor Lindbergh chose a twin-ignition motor to carry him in the inspired 'light that first spanned the At antc; and his motor won through storms, fog, sleet and adverst conditions never before faced by t gasoline engine. Byrd chose win-ignition to blase a seemingly impossible air trail to the earth's ip. Col. Goebel chose twin-ignition .o carry him over the Pacific to Hawaii and carry him there first among the fastest ships devised at that time. He won the great Oole race and wrote air his tory. Then he chose twin-ignition in a ' high-compression, valve-in-head motor for his continuous flight across the continent, and the motor took him from Los An geles to New York in 18 hours His next move was to bay a w Nash "400" seven passenger edan to Insure the same kind of notor performance on the ground hat won him immortal laurels in he air, and volunteered- the no- owing note of appreciation to the Vash-Breyer company: "Just a note to let you know hat I think of the twin-ignition, "rtgh compression motor in my new Nash "400" sedan. "With two spark plugs per cyl inder, two coils, it certainly takes full advantage of the higher com pression ratio used, and without a doubt is the most advanced mo tor car power plant to be had in xn automobile today.

"So, whether I'm on land or In the air, twln-ignitlon gives me a sense of security and satisfaction. "Because of the fine perform- tnce of my nrevious Nash. I was certainly sold on Nash design and onstructlon. but the new twin Igniiion. motor hastened my dec! .ion to buy a new "400." during the period until It is fully paid for and numerous protective phases have been worked into the contracts. Through the workings of the clauses protecting pur chasers in case of emergency, rel atlvely few cars are .taken back because of failure to pay. The desire to own and drive an automobile has led many, persons to begin buying things on the installment or deferred payments. Saving up money to buy some thing at some date several months in the future is almost an Im possibility for any but the thrifty. Most of these who find it hard to save can easily pay the incurred liability, and without privation in the essentials. More directed spending resulted in this class of earners from the assumption of an obligation for an automobile. The . great range in car price and tha terms offered make it pos sible for anyone with a steady in come to buy an automobile now. Dealers express the opinion that by suiting the class of car to the income, with the aid of the financ ing plans of the present day every man drawing wages regularly can purchase a car. Judicious spend ing is required both in making the purchase and in making the pay ments so as not to bring about hardships. HC PROBLEM E CHIEF DIFFICULTY (Continued from page 11.) or through some emergency cut ting off the income. Few dealers could carry even 'g many as a dozen notes on cars purchased and for which they had to pay cash to the manufacturer, Several persons and firms entered the field of financing the pur chases In 1919. They took the buyer's note and paid the dealer ip full at the time of the trans action. Interest Rates Reduced Interest rates on deferred pay ments have been reduced till they are now never more than 8 per -ent and often much less, depend- and 58 minutes faster than man ing upon the terms of the deal. has ever traveled the distance. Insurance on the car Is carried The oustandlng power, speed and stamina performance of a franklin Special in the annual Pike's Peak climb on Labor Day, when the air-cooled car made its initial start in the world's great est hill climbing classic and fin ished the gruelling drive within one minute and 43 seconds of the winning car, is declared Co be one of the greatest tributes to alr- cooled power plants. The Franklin entry was piloted by "Cannon Ball" Baker, noted trans-continental driver,. and now member of the Franklin tech nical staff. Field of Seven Competes In .this terrific climb of twelve and a third miles up the famous mountain side with its looming chasmc, 203 dangerous hairpin curves and switchbacks in the up per ranges, the Franklin was pit ted against a field of seven other powerful cars specially designed and built to master the world famous peak which rises .Into the clouds 14,109 feet above sea level. Most of the drivers in the race with the exception of Baker have been piloting cars in the great classic 'since the inaugural in 1916, but it Is the first time Ba ker or a Franklin car faced the starter. Temperatures Vary Greatly It was generally admitted be fore the race that this Franklin was a dark home but its great performance of speed, power and stamina in all altitudes and va rying degrees of temperatures, from summer heat to freezing. bnbught a mighty cheer rfom the thousands who lined the. course from -the starting line at Crystal Cleek to the summit. Racing un der the sanction of the A. A. A the Franklin clocked In at 19 minutes and 25 seconds. The race started with summer temperatures at the bottom and reached snow covered roadways and 30 degrees above sero during the last; four miles of the climb. Despite these varying degrees of tetnperatnre . and conditions, all within a few minutes, the Frank lin i air-cooling system proved its efficiency in the climb and the engine never failed an-instant to provide the great power that swept the "Franklin to a new achievement. ' Franklin Maintains Speed Baker declared that both on the hills and the very short stretch of straightaway and in all the al titudes from : the starting line to the top. the Franklin responded to every demand and maintained that same road speed characteris tic of the Franklin Airman Lim ited stock cars. The Franklin Special that as tounded the thousands at the La bor Day classic was designed and built on the identical principles employed in the Airman Limited. a high car building schedule to meet the demand.'' Sales execu tives point out that the introduc tion of the Standard Six with its high standard performance marks this model as one of the most popular ever presented by the company in the Willys-Knight di vision. There are now 59 railroads us ing motor trucks, 47 for terminal operations, 13 for store door de livery and 17 to replace local freight trains, according to the Oregon State Motor association.

CILUCS PLEASE PURCHASING PUBLIC The reception accorded the new Cadillacs, LaSalles and Fleet woods during the few days that they have been on display seems conclusive proof that owners of cars in the quality field are deeply nterested in new engineering do- relopments, particularly when the results have to do with riding and Iriving comfort and safety.

Nature's Monument Crater Lake is a monument erected by nature in one of her most turbulent moods. It is unique among natural wonders of the world and is the marvel of sight-seers and scientists as well. It represents a one-time volcanic mountain that, in eruption, lit erally' fumbled into itself. The collapse of the stormy mountain served, in the course of time, to quench the ardor of the volcanic force and gradually the high rimmed crater filled with water. Although scientists have never de tected inlel or outlet for the lake. Its waters are crystal clear and nure. So clear and clean that One inspired viewer of the lake said: "Everv imaginable shade of blue and green can be taken from the lake's fashion book of color. If milady's dress designer ever feels the need for color in spiration the lovely turquoise along the lake's edges; the deep blue of the depths and the delicate coloring around Wizard island are recommended. "The contrast on a sunny day between the unreal, fairylike rim across the lake and the fantastic sculptures at one's feet and, in the lake between, the myriad grada tions from faintest turquoise to J leepesi f russian oiue, aweus long In the memory." The .outstanding success of the Willys-Knight Standard Six which was intraduced by Willys-Overland, less than six months -ago with a public acceptance never be fore attained by a new Knight-en-gined car. has increased the num ber of Willys-Knight owners to more than 325,000, sales officials of the company said at Toledo this week. Selling in the lowert price field ever reached by the Willys-Knight Six yet maintaining the same type of design, quality of materials and workmanship and high standard of performance characteristic of the higher priced Willys-Knight cars, the new standard Six Has been a material factor in the com pany's present Tecord breaking year. For years it was impossible to build a Willys-Knight Six in a lower nrice range. However, va- rioos manufacturing economies that have been effected by the Toledo manufacturer in the vari ous Willys-Overland, plants In America and Canada, enabled the company to introduce the Stand ard Six, powered by a Willys- Knight sleeve valve engine, at the lowest price in the company's 20 year history.
