a drivers license law is in effect that
motor accidents decrease 20 per cent.
This is considered an advantage which
outweighs any objection which might
be raised in the opinion of Mr. Bret

CHANGING UPHOLSTERY
I
The day of soiled upholstery in au
tomobilés is about over and the fil
terior decorator who has arranged the
"detachable" upholstery for the 1929
car models has made it possible for,
automobile owners to have a variety j
of handy coverings that may be inter
changed and kept washed and clean,
so that they will be fresh at all times.

BAINVILLE HIGHWAY
TO BE STRAIGHTENED
AND TRACKS BUILT
_
Bainville, Jan. 18.—The chamber of
commerce has received word that the
highway leading west from the city
will be straightened, thus eliminating
two r i g ht angle turns within the city
limits. Enough land has been pur
chased to lead the road out directly
join the highway about half a mile
farther on.
The Great Noithern has announced
it will construct a 900-foot dike to
, change the course of Shotgun creek,
which flows along the tracks and down
through the city. It is planned to dam
(
the creek in such a way that the flow
0 f water will be directed about half
14 '
After the work is completed, there
will be room for more industrial
tracks which the road plans to put in.
Shotgun creek, although practically
dry in the summer, floods during the
spring and usually puts the east por
tion of the, city under water.

That Buick owners are loyal to
Buick principles and Buick design is
convincingly shown, according to C.
W. Churchill, general sales manager
of the Buick Motor Company, in fig
ures just compiled which reveal that
between 45 per cent and 60 per cent
of all Buicks sold are purchased by
former Buick owners.
"This loyalty, displayed year after
year by so many thousand of former
Buick owners throughout the nation,
naturally is very gratifying to Buick
officials," Churchill declared. "It;
proV e s to us that our efforts, not only
to maintain but even surpass our sue
cesS es of the past, are appreciated by
those who keep faith with Buick. i
"The enormous repeat busmess of

greater number than that enjoyed by
any other fine car manufacturer.'
Churchill also cited the enormous ;
requirements of a manufacturer in
meeting the varied needs in models I
of today-the huge volume necessary
to produce the many types of cars
deman< ' ed "y tae modern public at
the lowest possible cost.

The design and construction of the
valves are among the most important
elements of modem automobile engi
neering and manufacture.
The designers of the new Model A
Ford gave special attention to these
factors and the result of their design
manufacturing specifications is a
valve which is remarkable for its du
rability, close fitting and resistance to
the oxidizing or scaling effects of
hot gases.
The valves in the Model A Ford are
made of carbon chrome nickel alloy.
T h ey are first die-cast and then
ground with remarkable accuracy to
the desired size. The stems have
mushroom ends to give larger wear
ing surfaces and quieter action when
they come into contact with the push
rods. The carbon chrome nickel alloy
me t a i 0 f which they are made is par
ticularly resistant to wear and to the
scaling effects of the hot gases which
the valves must endure in their nor
mal performance.
The Ford valve terminates in a cone
over which slips a retainer, horse-shoe
shaped, which holds the spring in
place. As the cone head presents
| arge area to the tappet top , and a3
the valve foot is operating in . ,
there is not the slightest risk of the
no necessity for an adjustment to be
fitted to the top of the tappet.

valve at a vital point. The new Ford
valve actually is strengthened at the

single advance in valve design to at

almost everlasting, trouble-proof, one

The Ford camshaft also has been
specially designed to function for
smooth, quiet performance of th*
valves. The model A cams are so de

take up the clearance easily and not
of^mpart a blow to the valves, thus
tending to quiet operation. The cams

Shipments Increase Thirty-one Per

Per Cent Expansion This Year.
Toledo.—The Willys-Overland Com
pa ny broke all its p^y^us export
sales records during 1928.
Shipments to foreign countries dur
fag the y ear totalled 36,698 cars as
compared with 27,592 during 1927 or
an increase of 9,106 units or 31 per
cent. Many of the European and Asi-1
atic countries showed a much larger
increase in percentage but the average
was well over 25 cent.
»phe com p an y bas steadily in
creasing its foreign business for years,
President Willys said that prepara
tiens are being made for increasing
export business during the new year
by forty per cent over the record
breaking shipments of 1928. The corn
pany has greatly increased its dealer
organization abroad in addition to de
velopment of manufacturing plants in
Canada, Great Britain and Germany.
Countries which showed the largest
increases during the year incldue, Ar
gentina, Brazil, Chille, Japan, India,
Spain, Australia, Java, Sweden, South
Africa, New Zealand and England.
The big season of automobile buy
ing is just beginning in Argentina,
Australia and New Zealand and the
company's dealers in these countries
are ordering larger quantities than ev
er before and have cabled their confi
dence that from 35 to 40 per cent more
cars will be sold in these countries
during the next six months than in
the corresponding period of 1928.
First complete figures of "foriegn
sales by Willys-Overland during 1928
showed that the company increased
its sales in Great Britain alone by 85
per cent over the proceeding year.
This compares with an export in
crease by the rest of the industry of
approximately 25 per cent. During
the year American manufacturers sold
about 800,000 cars abroad as compar
ed with 643,000 units in 1927. Willys
Overland dealers in foreign countries
report a big increase in demand for
closed cars. In New Zealand this year
the closed car is dominating the mar

car is still in favor dealers report.
