WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 22, 1919 13 'the top is much lighter than the wood Exhaust Echoes NEW CAR'S DESIGN HAS SERVICE BUILT-IN Willys-Overland Dealer Predicts Car With Service Trouble Squeezed Out By Careful Engineering 'How to keep the car you drive out of the repair shop when you need it for the business trip or on Saturdays and Sundays you planned to spend ; in the country with the family has | long been an owner-worry. | That the real solution of the service problems will be found shortly in the construction of the motor car itself | is the interesting prediction of W. Jv Wehrstedt, Willys-Overland dealer | in Winnetka. ; "The light-weignt popular car of| tomorrow,' says Mr. Wehrstedt, "will | have its service built right into it. Today the purchaser of any car ex- pects to undergo certain service ad-! justments, repairs and so forth after his car goes into use. Tomorrow he will ask that most of this sort of service be built into the car before he buys it. "And this can be done with the careful selection of material and the | right balancing of parts in a car of right design. Manufacturers who retain leadership will check these im- portant details as never before. They will be certain that their car is right before the public passes judgement. i"Take, for example, the two years of tests made by the Willys-Overland! company after the completion of its | wew car which will soon be on the; market. Every: detail was put through | tests equal to the average life strain | before it was approved for the car. "Owners nowadays have very de-| finite ideas about the qualities a car | should have: | You appreciate that fact when you watch prospects look- ing closely. into the, design of the sar under consideration. . "To get actual light weight, which! in, itself .saves. tires, gasoline and | car-wear," continued Mr. Wehrstedt, "nearly everyone knews now that a car must he designed light weight. It can not merely be a heavier car shaved down in weight. "In designing the new Overland, Willys-Overland = engineers appre- ciate from the start that the light-] weight car to meet the requirements | of comfort and economy must be a! newly designed -car from the ground-- | new chassis, new body, new Springs | are 'the result. The new Overland 4! is bound instantly to commend itself to the discriminating motor car buy- er because it is actually a new type of car--a direct arswer to the list of requirements every motorist has in| mind. "Service is built right into it. The chassis, for instance, is as simple as an outline drawing. There are only five units to assemble in the car and the feature of the new design (mak- | ing a car more accessible and more | easily get-at-able than any car 1} have yet seen) is the new cantilever spring suspension which introduces an absolutely new riding comfort and and entirely new protection for the | ar. "These elements combine to keep the car in uninterrupted use, free from the usual garage and repair bills. We believe this car will help solve the service problem in the way 1 'have indicated."

JOURNALIST ASSERTS FORD CAR HELPED TO DELIVER HOLY LAND GIVE METHODIST MINISTERS FORTY PER CENT RAISE An average increase of 40 per cent in the salaries of Methodist ministers throughout the country, to meet the mounting cost of living, and estab- lishment of "minimum salaries" were announced today in New York City by the centenary conservation committee of the Methodist Episco- pal church. The new scale of pay will be in effect generally by Jan- uary 1, it was stated. The fund raised by the world pro- gram of the centenary conservation committee will provide the money for the salary increases. Those minis- ters whose pay has been increased by their congregations to a sufficient amount will receive no added remun- eration from the church organization, the bulk of the increases being for those whose salaries have remained unchanged at low figures. The average salary for a Methodist minister was $1,111 in 1918. The new average will be approximately $1,500. Y. M. C. A. PLANS TO HELP ITS MEN FIND POSITIONS That the Y. M. C.

Massey, noted British jour- nalist, who recorded the Prince of Wales' tour through Canada and the United States for the London Daily Telegraph of London, England, was English army, under General Allenby, When telling of his experiences, he says that he "used a Ford in many a journey from Beersheba to Jeru- salem and to Nazareth, Damascus and Alepp," and that "in Allenby's final push, this trusty old car took me more than 4000 miles in six weeks and I believe within one year it travelled over 30,000 miles in a coun- try where roads are few and these the worst in the world." "In the Sinai country it is veryj sandy and it is quite a common sight | to see a Ford running along with two-rolls. of. wire netting. secured to the footboard. When the car gets] to a place where the sand is im-| passable, the driver unrolls the net- ||] ting over the roadway and thus an | easily passable wire road is con-| structed; in fact in some parts of the country permanent wire roads have been made and: over these, the.car| runs along easily and snroothly, ati thirty miles an hour." Mr. Massey also stated that thei Ford played no small part in helping!

Madivss Siz, Saas Phone Franklin 8744 So highly does die re-d b Statement to the Public The Meat Market proprietors of the North Shore in the determination to prevent a sharp advance in retail prices of meats have, by united action, rejected the un- reasonable and dictatorial demands set forth in the "agreement" presented by the recently organized local of the Amalgamated Meat Cutters and Butcher Workmen of North America. I'horough investigation has disclosed that not more than 10 per cent of the meat cutters and butcher workmen ""émployed in north shore shops are in accord with the de- mands of their Union leaders. - Nevertheless; without notice to employers these men. were summarily called out of the shops during the busy "hours on Monday, almost immediately following the dis- charge of the president of the ¥/nion local frem an Fvans- ton shop. The Meat Market proprietors, facing the Union de- mand for a $40 minimum wage scale and the introduction 'of the "Closed Shop" on the North Shore, invited their meat cutters and butcher workmen to meet as man to man with the proprietors for the purpose of submission of possible grievances and arrival upon a basis of com- promise. The Union prevented the meeting. The Meat Market proprietors stand, unequivocally, for the principle of the "Square Deal". The interests of the customer are our first concern. A "Square Deal" fer the customer necessitates a "Square Deal" all around. The Union Meat Cutters' demands, as voiced in their "Agree- ment", we believe, are unreasonable, dictatorial and, in effect, a seizure of the proprietors' lawful rights ef prop- rietorship. ; We cannot agree to a minimum wage for meat cut- ters and butcher workmen. Competent men are now re- ceiving as much or more than the stipulated wage. In addition, all employes are getting meats and groceries for their families at cost, obviously an appreciable saving each week. Working conditions are of the best and the men have never voiced complaint. We cannot agree to the demand in the Union "Agree- ment" which prevents the proprietor of a meat market employing whom he pleases at a wage agreeable to both employer and employe. We cannot agree to have incom- petent men forced upon us, men who, by virtue of their, Union membership, must be employed in our shops to the exclusion of competent men who are not affiliated with the Union, and that the employment of a non-union:man must be followed immediately by his application for ad- mission into the Union. : We cannot agree to the "five day notice" clause requiring an employe to give five days advance notice of his leavetaking ; a period of time sufficient in length to permit such employe to materially injure the business of the proprietor. We cannot agree to the "five day notice" clause requiring the employer to give five days advance notice of the release or discharge of an employe, the vacant place then to be filled by the Union secretary without consideration for the proprietor's opinion in the matter. This statement is submitted in the interest of our patrons. Our stand, we believe, is just, honorable and entirely American. Having rejected the demands of the Union we will continue to serve our patrons in the face of any emergency. We solicit in return their kindly consideration and co- operation. Placing meat orders before 10 o'clock each morning will insure good service and prompt delivery. NEW TRIER COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION, GROUP 1. Jo Te (I |
