During 1915 there were 55,217 registered, an in- crease of nearly 25 per cent. over the number in 1914. Los Angeles County leads all other counties in California in ownership of automobiles by so wide a margin that there 'is no close comparison with any other of the State divi- sions, it is said. San Francisco, with 17,763 care registered in 1915, is the closest rival of Los Angeles. Sand Boxes for Motors Clifton Williams, an istant city attorney of Milwaukee, Wis,, has applied for patent rights on a de- ding, says the Motor World. The appliciance utilizes the principle of strewing sand on smooth surfaces to make a rough path for wheels. Like locomotives and street cars, motor cars are to be equipped with sand position just in front of the rear wheels. . A button in reach of the driver opens a valve and sand is strewn on the ground in the pash of the driven wheels. Predicts Higher Prices With the increase in the price of materials more reports circulate that the next change in the price of automobiles will be upward. The advance in the price of high-speed steels is one of the factors, having gone up from 45 cents a pound to $3; it is also getting harder to ob- tain, according to manufacturers. The sales manager of one of the automobile companies predicts that the announcements of next July will show a number of increases in the price of standard makes of 'cars. Savag: Earnings Large New York, June 3.--Savage Arms Company is now producing a mini- mum of thirty machine-guns daily, with the output some days as high as 50 guns. According to munition experts, the comipany makes a tet profit of $700 per gun. Allowing, however, only $500 net per gun, and an average production at the minimum of 30 daily, this means net earnings of $540,000 monthly, or the annual rate of $6,480,000, or over 70 per cent. on the common stock of 'the Driggs-Seabury Ord- nance Company, which owns prac- tically all the Savage stock. By the end of August, it is calcu- lated, production will be brought up to 100 guns a day. This will mean a much improved earning rate in | the closing four months of 1916. It is estimated that net for stock for the year will be about 120 per cent. on Driggs-Seabury common.

'The only man who can't advertise is the one with so much business he can't handle it; or the man with so little business it isn't worth while. Our\secret of advertiisng is as simple as A B C.

As a manufacturer's production increases, his production cost, per car, decreases. Therefore the plant with the largest production: ~ is in a position to give more of everything and charge. less for it. : We are the world's largest producers of Six and Four Cylinder Automobiles. Consequently you get in the Overland Six a larger and more powerful motor--a longer wheel- base--the convenience of electric control buttons on the steering column and an almost endless list of other comforts and refinements. --yet what is the price? Not $1700 or $1850 but $1600. And when it comes toa Six Cylinder perform- ance, remember the Overland Six is the star of them all. > One ride will convince you.
