12 BANKERS HONOR OVERLAND MAKER Notable Tribute to John T. Willys; Built One of World's Greatest Industries Probably the most notable tribute the banking; industry has ever paid an au tomobile manufacturer was accorded re cently to John North Willys, of Toledo, when he was guest of honor at a din ner given by Elisha Walker, of Wil liam Salomon and Company, New York. The dinner given in his honor was attended by many of the most promi nent bankers In the United States. Mr. Walker, the host, made an informal speech in which he explained that the sole purpose of the dinner was to give the bankers present a chance to meet one of the real giants in the automo bile Industry. Mr. Willys is the head of the big Willys-Overland Company, of Toledo, and with one exception is the largest builder of motorcars In the world. The history of liis remarkable suc cess reads like a chapter from "Monte Crlsto." Starting in as the head of the Overland concern, when the automobile industry was still in an experimental state, he built up in less than ten years one of the greatest Industrial organi zations in the world. His factory in Toledo has the facilities for producing 1,000 motorcars every twenty-four hours and the 1916 output >vill have a value of $100,000,000.

Cadillac "Eight" Sales Exceed a Total of 22,500 The calendar year ended December 31, 1915, marked the largest in vol ume of business in the history of the Cadillac Motor Car Company. The manufacture and distribution during that period reached the impressive to tal of 20.405 of the eight-cylinder cars, aggregating in retail sales value more than forty-five millions of dol lars. Including the eight-cylinder cars shipped prior to Jan. 1. 1915, and since January 1, 1916, the total ex ceeds 22,500 cars of this pioneer V type. When It is recalled that two years ago this type of engine was practically unknown, and that since its inaugura tion by the Cadillac Company some twenty makers have abandoned other models and adopted the V-type. it is significant of the influence which the Cadillac Company wields upon the motorcar industry. Says Fuel Economy Is One of Chalmers* Aims The bogie of a possible gasoline famine is uppermost to-day in the minds of American motorists. All motordom Is waiting expectantly for the results of the Investigation now In progress In Washington. The wholesale exportation of gasoline from this country threatens to send the price of automobile fuel soaring to heights never before attained. Producing high power and high speed at the cost of former low power and low speed to-day is the bone of most furious engineering con tention. according to Paul Smith, vice president of the Chalmers Motor Com pany, In charge of the selling divi sion. "Chalmers engineering." declares Mr. Smith, "has succeeded notably In keeping itself from being drawn into the whirlpool of high speed and high power at the cost of operating econ omy. Our engineers have kept high power and high mileage per gallon of feul lashed securely together. Chal mers engineers have approached the whole speed and power mattefr with their eyes everlastingly on economy of operation. "Against low mileage per gallon of gasoline It Is Interesting to observe that the Chalmers high speed engines deliver far more mileage in the case of both the Slx-30 and Six-40. Our owners tell us that the Six-40 delivers from sixteen to eighteen miles per gallon of gasoline while the new Slx- 30 Chalmers 3,400 revolutions per minute engine gets from eighteen to twenty-one miles out of every gallon of gasoline consumed. "The new Chalmers high speed ! power engines in other words attain from 45 to 4 8 horsepower at the for mer cost of 20 to 25 horsepower. "This is especially significant to the purchaser of motorcars in view of the upward trend of gasoline prices. We have applied ourselves intensely in the Chalmers organization to the task of producing high power and high en gine speed without jeopardizing for a moment the imperative matter of operating economy. "We are glad to announce that we have wrung high speed out of our en gines and at the same time cut down gasoline consumption one-third. Burn ing up twice the necessary amount of gasoline for the sake of power and speed that cannot be used has no place in sensible engineering.'' Proper Amount of Air Necessary to Care of Tire "The winter season seems to strengthen the properly inflated tire," says an official of the Fisk Rubber Company. "Under-inflatlon is responsible for a large percentage of tire expense. "Most motorists think that during the summer months they should ride their tires at low pressure to prevent blowouts. The decreasing pf the pres sure does not decrease the heating of the tire, but rather increases it, an the side walls are subjected to a greater bending strain and friction be tween the layers of fabric generates heat. Due to this excessive flexing the fabric cracks and loosens up to such an extent that the time becomes weakened. The cracked and chafed fabric ruins the inner tube. "During the winter season, the mo torist does not let the air out of his tires as he does in the summer, but al lows his tires to have a greater and more constant air pressure; hen<*e, the percentage of tires consigned to the scrap he-ip is much less in winter than in summer. "It has been definitely determined by test, with a tire at proper pres sure, that it is impossible to effect an increase in air pressure because of the heating of the tire when in use, to such an extent that it will injure it in any way. To prevent your tires from fainting, give them the proper, amount of air." COMING EVENTS AITOMOBII.E SHOWS January 17-22—Rochester, N. Y. Rochester's Eighth Annual Automobile Kxhibition.
