MEDFORD MAIL TRTBUXE, fEDFORD, OREGON. SrXDAY, MAY PAGE SEVEN 1 11 "Mimt' rlgSI p Ford production for the first four months of the year passed the half million mark. According to fleures supplied by Automotive Dally News, trade newspaper of the Industry, the output of 1935 Ford V-8s reached a total of approximately 550,000 units with the month ending April 30. Fifteen days ago It was reported that Ford Motor company officials at th head office did not hesitate to say: "By the end of April the com pany will have produced better than 600,000 units." And from all indi cations, the Ford production for the first 17 weeks of the year went con siderably over 500,000 units. This remarkable Industrial aocom llshment tends to prove that Henry Ford was speaking the truth when he said, late last November: "So far as the Ford Motor company Is concerned, the depression Is over." And It also tends to prove. Ford dsalers declare, that It was no Idle dream when Henry Ford set "a million and more" as the goal of the Ford organisation in 1035. "That goal of 'a million mor' cars Is now in sight," said O. A. Bult wlnkel, manager of the Ford Motor company Richmond plant, "and, pro vided the demand holds up as antici pated, which it undoubtedly will un less more unforeseen conditions arise, our objective will be attained. "W. C. Cowling, our general sales manager, has made statistical returns which show that up to Aplrl 10 Ford sales for the year totaled 334,437 units. That means that from Janu ary 1 to April 10 more Ford cars and trucks were sold than during all of 1932. "Our dealers everywhere are' mov ing in on the second half of the com pany's million-car production with rrnewed enthusiasm and greater con fidence," the Ford branch manager reported. 'The record-breaking pro duction of the past 17 weeks has been an inspiration to the dealer or ganization and sales records are be ing broken in keping pace with the great Ford output. "Here at the Richmond branch we have been working at top speed ever since the first of the year, turning out between 300 and 400 units a day, and employing approximately 3400 workers. With our dealers of the Richmond area becoming more aggres sive all the time, there should be no abatement In our output. Instead, there should be further Increases in production and sales volume."

The AUTO WAY- Rr Cyril Sander Automobile Owners Oregon's New "Financial Responsibility Act" BECOMES EFFECTIVE JULY 1st This Act Provid.es- "that until a Judgment resulting from an automobile accident Involving a property cl-iiiuigc claim In excess of $100.00, for damage in any amount on account of personal injury, has been paid, the operator's license will be revoked. The license plates and registration certificate of the automobile will be taken up and not reinstated until the Judgment Is paid and proof given of ability to respond to damage resulting from the ownership, maintenfir.ee. use. and operation of an automobile for the next three war.." This proof can be given In any of the following methods: (1) By filing with the Secretary of State an insurance policy with limits of $5,000.00 and $10,000.00 for public liability and $1,000.00 for property damage.

In order that you may have com plete protection while driving a car not owned by you, and upon which the owner may not carry any insurance, you should hs-.e attached to your policy a "Drive Other Car Endorsement" for which a charge of about 5 of your present premium Is made.

Medford National Bank flld. This week we shall give more de tailed description of one of the fewj English cars we have ever seen Ulus- I t rat Ions of that has relly good lines It is called the Avon, open 2-4 seater ! sports cat. In the catalogue we ro- I celved It states, "Such a thorough- ; bred commands attention, and Is a leader of an entirely new style." However, we are sure most Americans would think: that it was Jiv , catch ins up with our stream-Urn . body de signs. The car Is very sporty-looking probably because of its stream-lined fenders and unique paint Job for the most part, but little doubt its low ness also plays a big part. It is less thiin five feet high with the top up r this Is much lower than moat American cars, yet It is supposed to have considerable clearance. The car. as you may have guessed from the name, seats either two or four peo ple, and we muBt say that If four people were seated they would be In pretty close quarters. The car has a wheel-base of only nine feet two Inches and only a little better than , six feet Is allowed for the front and j rear seats. Of course it Is the rear , sent th.it suffers when there Is a lacking of room and though we hav j not had the pleasure of sitting in the back seat of this car we are sure that 1 there would not be much room for ' one's feet especially ours! This condition of skimpy passenger room is not at all unusual in Europ: which shows that not much attention Is given to the comfort of passengers compared to what Is done here in America we suppose that In Europe a person considers himself so lucky to even own a car that he doesn't stop to think about comfort! How- ever, you should take most everything we have said with the consideration that this car is built primarily for sports use and not for comfortable touring. Perhaps if you were to know that this car is what would be called a two-door phaeton here In America you could better understand Its des cription. Feotures of this car are: a slanting V-type radiator, disk wheels, built-in trunk, raklshly slanting windshield which folds down, and of course all of the standard equipment which is usually found on foreign cars which includes a four-whool Jacking system, automatic stop and reversing light, spt'clnl bumpers upon which one's license plates are mount ed, spring steering wheel, twin elec tric horns, signaling system and so on.
