Ssim KOS 988o ti*3° Highly developed methods for the handling of materials at the Wfllys-Overland Company's factory in Toledo effect enormous savings that have helped to establish new values in high class motor cars. Overhead endless chain conveyors are found throughout this huge plant. And this modern system not only saves thousands of dollars but eliminates the risk of damaging parts as result of rough handling by trucks. - •/, One of the most unique methods is that of automatic wheel con­ veyors in the huge building where the Overland Light Four is assembled. Five parallel conveyors, carrying hundreds of completely assembled wheels at one time, deliver first a front and then a rear wheel to the exact place they are needed. One man puts on a front wheel, another attaches a rear wheel, while the chassis moves on a traveling conveyor. Each workman becomes expert in his particular task. And every car shares the savings aad economies of tremendous production--every car in the comprehensive Willys-Overland line is, we believe, value pre-eminent among cars in its price class.

The exhibit held in the gymnaiium of the McHenry public school last Fri day was very well attended both after­ noon and evening- The success of the event was beyond expectations. The exhibit was nicely arranged according to grades, beginning at the back of the hall with the primary work and fol­ lowing this around until the high school work was reached at the front. Thus the exhibit showed a gradual development from the simple to the more complex. The teacher and pupils from each room are to be commended upon the practical and artistic work shown. In the art work the effort was put upon the industrial and practical, such as lettering, home decoration, costume design, etc. The program at 3:00 p. m. brought out a crowded house and those in attendance felt that they had been very pleasantly entertained by the different groups from each room. The dramatization of Hansel and Gretel by room two would have been a credit to mature students. The primary children, with their songs and folk dances, exhibited themselves in their usual well trained manner. The club swinging exercise by room three was unique and their unity of thythmical exercises held the undivided attention of the audience. The singing and dancing of room four was very well done. The program closed with a patriotic exercise by room five and then the two well chosen songs by the Glee clyb of the high school.
