NASH OFFICIALS STEP UP HIGHER Announcement is made of the appointment of C. H. Bliss as assistant sales manager of the Nash Motors Company to succeed W. W. Smith, who has been awarded a direct factory distributing contract at Oklahoma City. The advancement of both Bliss and Smith comes as recognition of their respective records. "It is with utmost confidence in their ability to handle matters that will come within their scope that announcement is made of the promotion of Bliss and of the advancement of Smith," said C. B. Voorhis, vice-president and director of sales of the company. Both of these men, ever since Nash Motors was organized, have applied themselves to their respective tasks in a manner that has fully qualified them for advancement." When Bliss joined the Nash organization five years ago, he went into the shops and worked on the actual construction of the Nash car. He spent considerable time in the factory working in a number of different departments, and, when his course had been completed, was transferred to the sales department, thoroughly familiar with every detail in the construction of the Nash product. Smith has been identified with the Nash factory ever since its organization. He is a man of veteran automobile experience, having entered the industry in 1910, when he started with the Speedwell Motor Car Company. Later, Smith joined the Thomas B. Jeffery organization, and he was in the sales department of that company when Nash bought the plant at Kenosha and formed the Nash Motors Company. C. B. Voorhis, recognizing Smith's ability, promoted him three years ago to assistant sales manager, in which capacity he served until June 1, when as further recognition of his ability he was given this opportunity to become a Nash distributor. Apex Tires Taken on HALF of Dominion’s Cars Declared Fords "The story of the growth of the Ford Motor Company in this country is paralleled in the story of the growth of the Ford," says George Dunton, Ford, Fordson and Lincoln distributor, quoting the Ford News: "More than half the automobiles in the Dominion are Fords; 17 years ago the Canadian Company was producing at the rate of about 114 cars a year. In 17 years Canada has become the greatest automobile country in the world, next, of course, to the United States. "A little red wagon factory was the birthplace of the Ford Motor Company of Canada. In those days it was a fierce struggle to carry on industrially. Yet, the little red wagon factory did develop and today is a fitting monument to the early struggle. "The office staff of the Company in 1904 consisted of three persons. Two of those original employees are still with the Company. On July 31, 1921, there were more than 3,000 persons employed and there were branches in leading Canadian cities. With the sales organizations, the Ford Company of Canada is employing more than 14,000 persons. Last year the production of the Canadian Company was practically as large as that of the Ford Motor Company of England including the other various Foreign Plants. Of this production by far the greatest percentage is distributed annually throughout Canada, although the Canadian foreign territories are giving great promise of developing into fertile automotive fields." Altnow’s Battery Making Good Here The Independent Battery Station, of which W. E. Altnow is manager and proprietor, is making more and more friends. The public is beginning to appreciate what efficient square-deal service means, to say Apex Tires Taken on By Reliable Tire Co. Another tire not offered here before will be offered at once. The Reliable Tire Company, distributors of the Para-Bell tire, will distribute the Apex tire made by the same company. George T. Bell, Pacific Coast distributor, brought word of the new tire here this week on a visit to the agency on South Los Angeles street. The price will be even lower than that of the Para-Bell. In fact, the Apex will be the cheapest tire obtainable anywhere, value considered. It will carry a 6,000-mile guarantee. Bells are still selling well here. The Reliable Tire Company will be glad to line up wheels for their patrons free of charge and otherwise aid them in obtaining maximum service from tires. In China there are many large cities that have no municipal organization and spend nothing on public improvements or for official expenses. Altnow’s Battery Making Good Here The Independent Battery Station, of which W. E. Altnow is manager and proprietor, is making more and more friends. The public is beginning to appreciate what efficient, square-deal service means, to say nothing about the long experience in important positions which Altnow has back of him and which enables him to meet any problem arising. Altnow's I. B. S. battery, also, the title of which is taken from the station, is hitting the bullseye. This battery carries a one year’s guarantee. Altnow also is distributor for the Columbia battery. Altnow was in the army for three years and for considerable periods had charge of the army battery plants at Spartanburg, South Carolina; Muscles Shoals, Alabama; and at Camp Jessup, Georgia, where he made batteries. Before he came back here he was foreman of one of the largest battery stations in Tucson, Ariz. He has lived in Anaheim off and on for some 15 years. The I. B. S. battery uses less water than almost any other made. It requires only monthly inspection and its 10 per cent oversize enables brighter lights, quicker starting and more constant service.

The children Maxwell 4 With 25 Goes Up Noted Grade Automobile owners who learned through the newspapers last Sunday morning that a certain light four-cylinder car would attempt to climb the famous Quintero street grade from Sunset Boulevard to the summit with a load of 20 passengers at 2 o'clock that afternoon were not a little skeptical. Many declared they must be "shown," and they gathered at that point by thousands expecting to see the test result in failure. A few minutes before two o'clock Manager of Sales C. A. Doyle of Union Motors, Inc., drove up to the foot of the steep grade in the strictly stock Maxwell that had only recently made the trip into the Yosemite Valley on the Camp Curry Economy Run and which still bore on its windshield the green National Park emblem that Uncle Sam requires be placed on each car entering the Valley. The photographers were on the job, and spectators lined the curb of Quintero street from bottom to top, while traffic was almost blocked on Sunset Boulevard for several hundred feet on either side of the place set for the start of the difficult test. The spectators were called upon for volunteers, and a load totaling 20, including Doyle who officially attained the wheel, piled into the car, and onto it, hanging on wherever they could obtain standing or sitting room—on the fenders, radiator, everywhere. Doyle started the engine; dropped back five or six feet so his front wheels were just touching the bottom of the slope, and they were off. The car went on and up without faltering once. There was no weaving back and forth to lessen the grade—the climb was almost in an exact line, straight up the center of Quintero, and not once did there appear any evidence of failure. There was a cheer from the crowd and many started away, but Doyle was not through yet. He called his passenger crew back to the foot of the hill. Loaded them all back on the Maxwell and five more, making a total of twenty-five husky passengers. A start was made and again they went straight up to the summit. The slope for the 300 feet from Sunset Boulevard to the summit of Quintero street is given by the City engineer's office at 24.04 per cent. It is not a paved street, but is graded, the surface, however, being somewhat rough and making the climb New Jordan Models Extraordinary Cars The line of new models of Jordan cars which the J. E. Walter Company received this week is the most notable addition yet. The Playboy, special sport touring car and new touring in Burgundy old wine are not only the most beautiful machines ever seen at the Walter showrooms, but the most efficient, combining various new improvements. President Jordan couldn't bear to call the Playboy a roadster. It was too fine; there appeared to be something too human about it. So he called it the Playboy, a name perhaps taken from the title of a play by a well known Irish playright, perhaps not. All of these cars have one thing which most cars haven't. They are balanced perfectly, an equal weight resting on each wheel and 1400 pounds on the rear and front wheels alike. They possess all-aluminum bodies, which accounts for the light weight. Their enamel is so perfect that it appears to be part of the metal itself. They have extra equipment not ordinarily found even in fine cars. They are as silent as it is possible to make a car. Here are a few specifications. The Playboy is painted in simplex gray. It has disteel wheels, one-piece windshield and a top which can be removed in five minutes and which when removed doesn't make the car look at all queer. The tools are conveniently located in one of the front doors and can be locked in. The sport touring car also is in simplex gray, with special upholstery and equipment in genuine leather, six wire wheels, non-rattling spring shackles, springs of chromie vanadium-steel, flexible tubes for greasing and oiling, so you don't have to crawl under the car, Gabriel snubbers, cowl ventilators and velvet finish. These specifications for the most part describe the Burgundy old wine touring car, but the beauty of this car is all its own. In fact, the principal improvements of each are common to all three. The three cars and an ordinary, but extraordinary stock model compose the carload of cars received. Orders for more Cleveland closed cars than ever before have been received by the Chandler people, the daily vacational Bible school has an enrollment at the present time of 171 boys and girls. The children are each day growing more enthusiastic and interested in the school work. Interesting and helpful talks were given at the school this week by Miss Leila Chaffee, recently returned missionary, on conditions in the Hawaiian Islands; by Dr. C. C. Violett, on the subject of health and by J. W. Woodworth on building business character. A picnic has been arranged for tomorrow afternoon at the school grounds, when the children will be given a treat of ice cream, cake and lemonade....On the last day of the school, it is planned to hold a picnic at Orange-co park, which event is being looked forward to with keen anticipation. As the result of a badly infected foot following a slight operation, Mrs. F. H. Felberg was obliged to submit to a second operation the first of the week to prevent blood poisoning. She is now getting along as well as could be expected. Miss Harriett Brown returned Sunday from a two weeks' vacation spent at Idyllwild. The F. L. Woodhouse family have purchased a house at 707 S. Flowerst., Santa Ana, and will move there next week to make their home. The packing house of the Garden Grove Mutual Orange Assn was the scene of most unique and enjoyable affair. The growers and their families together with some of the officials of the Mutual Orange Distributors from the main office at Redlands met and enjoyed an elegant chicken dinner prepared by the wifes of the members and served by the dainty little daughters dressed as sunflowers, and afterwards held a short business meeting. This gathering was in celebration of the receipt of the incorporation papers of the new association. The visitors all agreed that the dinner cooked and served by the ladies was one of the best that they had ever eaten. The packing house was beautifully decorated with flags, flowers, etc.. He called his passenger crew back to the foot of the hill. Loaded them all back on the Maxwell and five more, making a total of twenty-five, husky passengers. A start was made and again they went straight up to the summit. The slope for the 300 feet from Sunset Boulevard to the summit of Quintero street is given by the City engineer's office at 24.04 per cent. It is not a paved street, but is graded, the surface, however, being somewhat rough and making the climb still more difficult. The passengers were picked at random from the crowd, and many of them weighed more than 200 pounds, with not a single one apparently weighing less than 150 pounds, giving a total scale weight of 4366 plus 2270 as weight of car, the official scale tag showing a total gross weight of 6636 pounds.

Well, then don't blame James, the Vulcanizer if 1,000 miles or more is taken off the service of your Horse Shoes or Ajax's. So says James. B. Altman & Company, one of the largest and best stores in New York City has decided to use Ajax tires on delivery wagons. The Crown Stage Lines uses them on the Santa Ana-Balboa Beach line, and finds them the best tires the line ever put on its buses, says a driver. The Pickwick Stages uses them between Los Angeles and Bakersfield. Just a few of several notable examples, here and elsewhere. The new factory building of the Samson Tire and Rubber Company's plant at Compton means 34,000 more square feet of floor space. and the occasion will long be remembered. At the business meeting, by-laws were adopted and a permanent organization perfected. The officers that were formerly elected for the temporary organization were re-elected at this meeting for the permanent organization to serve until the next annual meeting. A most optimistic feeling prevailed and a splendid future for this association seems assured under the able managership of W.B. Merchant. About 50 were present. C. K.
