WILMETTE LIFE December 7. 1928 Fonl'a Canadian Plant to Build 580 Cara a Day The stepping up · of production by Ford to 6,000 cars a day at the big Detroit plant is not the only forward movement by the organization, according to D.

Re-tooling and additions to the plan at Ford, Ont., he states, have been completed, and with these changes the production at the plant will exceed by 100 cars, approximately, the record output of the company. He says it is probable that the Canadian plant will reach even a higher ·production than 500 cars a day before the close of the year 1929. Road Tips '----___.;,-------1 I Buses Run Jitneys Off n ·etroit Str.eets . by Order of Court The doom of the jitneys in big city streets has arrived, if action taken at Detroit can be taken as the indication, according to C. M. McDonald, Evanston and Wilmette Dodge dealer. Detroit now has operating in its streets a fleet of buses instead of the jitneys, this being made possible by a recent decision of the Supreme Court of Michigan which ruled the jitneys from certain streets of the motor metropolis after a legal battle which lasted seven years. First deliveries have been made of the fleet of 120 Graham Brothers parlor coaches, purchased from Dodge Brothers and added to the equipment of the street railways, supplementing bus and street car lines already in· operation. . Inauguration of the service met with an immediate response from the busriding public. Added refinements in comfortable transportation combined with speedy operation, have had a wide and popular appeal. A six-minute schedule is maintained and the coaches are liberally patronized, meeting all demands of heavy rush-hour traffic, according to officials of the railway department. . The Graham coach carries 15 passengers, exclusive of the driver, in deep, leatlier, air cushion, individual, wicker chairs, standard equipment in this model. It is unusually roomy, ample space being provided between the seats and in the aisles. Speed and ease of operation equal to the passenger car is given by the powerful six-cylinder motor. Safety is assured by Lockheed hydraulic, four-wheel, internal expanding brakes with hand brake operating on the propeller shaft, an emergency door at the rear and non-skid entrance step. ~ First Church of Christ,· Scientist ~ Tht Biblt and Worb of Mt1111 &It,.
