IMVE5TORS 5YH0IC.T» MINNIAPOO» Save Time by using this Modern Deposit Plan Quick Easy Safe Engineer* Experiment Pointing out that automotive en gineers are now experimenting with plastics and new designs which may revolutionize the car of today, Dr. McDaniel said that it has already been found that plastics have h'eat insjlafting properties which wjll keep heat either in or out of a car body. Strength, color variety with colors moulded into the plastic and elimin ating painting, chipping and rusting and plastic windows are other fea tures of what may be the cars of tomorrow, said the A. A. A. club executive. Plaitic Body Stronger “It will be recalled by many,” he continued, “that a prominent manu- facturer sometime ago struck a plastic car body with the full swing of an axe, leaving only a slight blemish. But a similar blow seriously damaged the metal body of a current model vehicle. “The experiments with plastics may mean that regardless of the steel situation and the demands for other metals for defense pur poses, the country is prepared to go forward with automobile produc tion. Experience to date would in dicate that plastic cars may offer new features and new comfort with lighter but stronger cars.” PAY RAISE GIVEN Write or Call for Complete Information St. Helens Branch o/ the United States National Bank above chart, showing how the average American fared in 1 UIE national income changes in th* Head Office, Portland, Oregon MEMBER last twelve months, is bgsed on th« monthly consumers’ study of In vestors Syndicate of Minneapolis Mr. and Mrs. Public in Septembe1 had a "real income" of $1.30, or an increase of thirty cents on tha dollar over the same 1940 month.
