Hayes of Winnetka, president of the Chicago Motor Club in making public figures issued by the' research department of the American Automobile association. Discussing these figures, Mr. Hayes points out that never before has the American public had placed before it such an amazingly complete array of automotive products and such a comprehensive list of price classes. "One hears much talk," · says Mr. Haye·s, "of standardization which, we are told, will wipe out all opportunity for individuality. With 765 car types available, that 'menace' seems remote. Obviously, .a person's taste would have to be extremely, even radically, individual, if it would be impossible to satisfy it among all those modeh. ."

Chevrolet now has a foundry at Saginaw which has a 1,000 ton melting capacity a day. Work under way now will enable 2,000 tons a day after the first of next year. The company may then boast one of· the world's most modern inland docks at which pig iron and sand will be unloaded from lake points to be cast into million's of Chevrolet castings. · Foundations for the 212,364 foot addition, which will almost double the present floor space, are now completed.
