Newspaper Page TextMEDFORD MAIL TRIBUNE, MEDFORD, OREGON. FRIDAY. DECEMBER 20, 1935. PAGE NINE ( CAR SALES SOAR SHOWS! GAIN Early New Models Seen As Stimulant to Christmas Purchasing Production Records at New Peaks Br Leslie AMry Unltl Press staff Correspondent DETROIT, Dec. 20. (UP) More ihlny new automobiles are going to be found In Yule atocltlngs Christ mas morning than ever before, ac cording to optimistic statements of manufacturers of all types and class es of transportation. The two month earlier showing of ntw models this year made this type ot buying possible for the first time In history and manufacturers report orders "for Christmas delivery" as the heaviest ever experienced. New Models Appeal D. E. Ralston, vice president and general sales manager of Oldsmoblle. explained that In past years husbands and fathers have been reluctant to make Christmas gifts of automobiles to their families because new models were usually announced In January. Ke said that response of the public to the fall announcement had been nothing short of remarkable and that In his own company twice as many cars were sold In November this year as In January of last year when new models were Introduced. ' "A mani now can buy a car with assurance It wont be out of date In January,' he added. New Cadillac Record In the more expensive lines, Don Aherns. Cadillac sales manager, re ports that 50 per cent of the orders dealers were wiring to the factory specified that the cars be shipped In time for Christmas delivery. He said that Cadlllac-LaSalle delivered more automobiles last month than In any month since May, 1930 three times greater than for the same month last year. And the Christmas buying Is not confined to automobiles . but has spread to automobile equipment pro tiucta. Manufacturers report demands (or radios, heaters and clocks surpass any period they remember. New Peaks Attained One after another the manufactur ers are turning In reports ot record breaking Nbvemtert, both from the point of sales and manufacture. Bulck will build more than 100,000 cars this year for the first time since 1930 with December production alone call ing for 16.000 units. Harlow Curtice, president, predicts average Bulck pro duction next year will be 14.000 a rronth. Delivery of 8.459 cara In the first 10 days of December surpassed any like period In the history of the company, easily topping the former peak of 3,395 units delivered In the first 10 days of December 1926 the ytar Buiek built more than a quar ter million cars. Truck Business Up Indicative of Increased public de mand Is the Interest In the revolu tionary Stout Scarabs. According to the manuf acturera of the "car of the future," orders for the super-streamlined auto have been so large manu facture has been speeded to the ut most by Increasing personnel and ma chinery. In the truck nd commercial deliv ery field, business Is on the upturn also. Plymouth, this week, announced a new one-half ton commercial de livery car, marking the first time the company has entered that field. D. 8. Eddlns. announcing the model, de clared gains In retail trade prompted his company's decision to go Into the commercial field. In the same group, Reo has Increas ed Its truck designs to the point where C. A. Trlphagen, sales manager, raid hla company'a modela were pre miered to handle more than 98 per cent of all modern transportation needs. 1 Livestock. PORTLAND. Dec, 20.

As much care, however, 'must be taken In selecting and preparing the proper stuffing, (or a bird with out stuffing Is like celery without salt. There are stuffings and then more stuffings, and each has Its own longing admirers. But an Ideal stuffing which has had the place of honor In many a fashion able (owl Is the Oyster Stuffing. The delicate seafood flavor com bines superbly with the (owl be It turkey, duck or goose. -And there are many men and women, too, who like their bird nicely tuffe with Ovster Dressing.

The weather bureau, however, will not concede that such is the ease. Winter will begin officially on Sun day, the bureau Insisted today. Only meteorologists don't call It that. They refer to It as the beginning of tht winter .solstice, which for all prac tical purposes Is the same thin. Neither would the bureau grant that tomorrow will be the shortest day. Monday was the "bureau's choice as the shortest day of the year. On Monday, bureau officials said, the aun will befltn Its return toward the equator, and that's how they know It will be the shortest day. The way Medfordltes shivered this morning, the sun can't get back to the equator any too quickly. VANCOUVER, Wash., Deo. 30.
