CAR BUILT 37 YEARS AGO
ARMSTRONG COMPANY
OLDEST IN-U. S.
HAS
Possession of what Is probably
the oldest automobile in the
United States i tho boast of the
Armstrong Manufacturing Com
pany in Bridgeport, Conn.
This pioneer car, built 37 years
ago by Charles H. Armstrong,
contained many features said to
be forerunners of some of the ideas
adhered to ' In automobile con
struction of the present day. Out
of Its crude design are said to
have been developed the self
starter, braking system on hubs
and shafting, three speeds forward
and reverse, and a scheme of ef
ficient air cooling in use today in
airplane manufacture.
The old car is built largely of
steel. It possesses its own shock
absorbers and is equipped with an
electric starter and magneto.
WASHINGTON. Co-operative
gasoline and oil stations are a com
paratlvely new phase of the co-operative
movement in the United
States, according to a survey by
the bureau of labor statistics of
the department of labor. The de
velopment has taken place mainly
in Illinois, Nebraska and Minnesota.
An article In agricultural co
operation states that In the past
two years 19 farmers' co-operative
oil stations have been set up in
Illinois. In 'most cases each of
these stations serves a whole coun
ty; they do not aa a rule have service-pump
stations, but make de
liveries direct to the farm by truck,
Stock Issued
Two kinds of stock are issued
common stock of no par value. Is
sued to farm bureau members only,
ownership of which carries with it
the right to vote in the organiza
tion and to participate In the dis
tribution of patronage dividends,
and preferred stock, ranging In the
various organizations from $25 to
$100, carrying the right to vote
and to a dividend of from 6 to S.
per cent, but no right of participa
tion In patronage dividends.
' Fourteen of these local associa
tions have their own central pur
chasing organizations, the Illinois
Farm Supply Co., which began
business April 1, 1927.
The central company Is managed
by a board of nine directors elected
by delegates from the county or
ganizations. Its sales up to Decem
ber 1, 1927. consisted of 261 car
loads of gasoline, 138 carloads of
kerosene, 37 carloads of lubricat
ing oils, 48,236 pounds of grease,
and 2.471 gallons of denatured al
cohol. Data regarding the co-operative
oil stations- in Nebraska were pre-
