November 3, 1928 WINNETKA TALK Ford Production Assures Industry of a Record Year The great increase in production of Ford cars, has made it certain that an automobile industry will break its best previous production record this year, according to D. G. Leonard, of Skokie Motors Company of Wilmette, North Shore Ford distributor, "With a 460,000 production record for September and with Fosd. output hovering between 5,000 and 6,000 ve- hicles a day, there is little doubt that the industry will set a new mark," says Mr. Leonard. "And with that little matter cleared away, we will start preparations for making 1929 the biggest ever." Mr. Leonard also imparted the in- formation that the Ford company is planning to manufacture and offer a special custom body to go on the new model A car. The cost will be $100 above the regular model. Production will begin before January 1. "This will be a de luxe job," contin- ued Mr. Leonard. Henry Ford has opened to traffic a new stretch of highway, 8,370 feet in length, in Sudbury, Mass. costing about $300,000. Mr. Ford turned it over to the state for $1. The trip was made in a new Ford Tudor, driven by Mr. Ford. Chandler Praised at Big Paris Show; 106 Makes Shown That American-built cars are mak- ing a fine impression in Europe is the information that has come to Tom Hay of Tom Hay and Son, Evanston Chandler dealers. Mr. Hay has re- ceived the advice from the factory at Cleveland that F. C. Chandler, Presi- dent of the Chandler-Cleveland Motors Corporation, has notified the company in a letter of the great reception given the American cars and particularly the Chandler at the recent Paris salon. President Chandler is quoted as fol- lows : "America was brilliantly represented at the Twenty-second Annual Paris Salon. It wag a magnificent display with one hundred and six different French and American car makers par- ticipating. Chandler's exhibition was enthusiastically praised. "European automobile builders are following the trend of America in fea- turing bright and flashy colors, and attractive exterior appearance. Further observation reveals also a marked ten- dency in adopting American design and production practices. Concensus of opinion of American automotive executives here is that U. S. export business for 1929 should far exceed that of this year." Information for Motor Tourists Some Good Advice NATTENTION continues to cause countless thousands of accidents, reports the National Safety Council, which receives statistics relating to the causes of auto crashes from com- munities throughout the country. And, it is not always the well known "Back seat" driver who is responsible. Often the owner of the car is too happily engaged in chatting to keep his eyes where they belong. "Don't talk to the operator," which is imprinted on thousands of signs in public conveyances ,is advice which should be heeded by passengers in pri- vate cars and the driver might have a similar slogan for himself. If you want to live a little longer-- when driving an auto, always keep at least 15 feet behind the motorist ahead of you, while traveling at a speed of more than 15 miles an hour. Road conditions for Illinois and nearby states are reported by the Chi- cago Motor Club as follows: ILLINOIS River road is now open to traffic be- tween Higgins road and Touhy ave- nué.

MANY OLD CARS IN MILWAUKEE A recent survey in Milwaukee, showed more than 10,000 cars so badly worn that they could not be taxed, having an individual value of less than $1. Obviously, if a car is not worth taxing it can hardly be worth licens- ing. between Battery Service All Makes Rentals ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS REPAIRED Recharging Pennsylvania Gas--Oils Lubricating JONES Service Station EDDIE JONES | Linden at Scott Tel.

Studebaker is erecting a two-story building at 1834-36 Ridge avenue. The structure was designed by Loewenberg & Loewenberg and will resemble a bank building in appear- ance. It will occupy a site 71x270 feet and, together with the land, it is stated, will represent an investment of $250,000. Besides salesrooms, the building will contain a service station and offices. A ramp will lead from the ground to the roof which will be used for the storage of cars. This will be the tenth branch to be operated by the company in Cook county. BAR DEFECTIVE CARS Announcement is made that several of the states are giving their license departments authority to refuse the is- suance of plates to drivers of motor ve- hicles that are mechanically defective. This sounds like a step in the right di- rection.
