WILMETTE L'IFB September 21, 1928 wG&hi·t b'" Power . IJ~ Improvement ,k G at Sk 0 ie arage .1' The time required for greasing auto... mobiles, has, by inventions beeh ·lessened considerably in the last couple of years, but it remained for the Skokie Motor company of Main street, Wilmette, Ford distributor, to discover ·a method which reduces the time of washing cars and it is claimed this new method also does the job more efficiently. A power machine in the ·Skokie shop does the work and it not only saves time but considerable labor as well. This machine is a small, but powerful affair and is operated by electricity, all that is necessary to set it in motion being to plug in a socket. The machine which has been recommended to all dealers by the Ford company gives a 300 pound water pressure. In addition to the hose there is a fifty gallon tank which is filled with water and to which soap has been applied. The motor is started, a valve is WATCH YOUR LUGGAGE opened and the washing fluid is FEW NEW YORKERS GET SLIPS Th~ State Division of Motor Vehicles sprayed on the car.

"We've found that washing cars and washing them efficiently isn't much of a ' job, since we acquired this power machine," says D. W. Leonard, the Ford dealer. The man who · wants his car washed doesn't have' to lay it up for several holtrs any more. There may be several cars ahead· of him, but the rapidity with which we do the jol,> now enables us to take the job and assure him that he will get it back washed in a very reasonable time." Mr. Leonard reports that the delivery of the new Ford A cars which has been somewhat slow for several weeks is showing considerable improvement. "We are getting six or seven cars a week now" he said. The buyers of cars who have not yet received them are no longer showing impatience, for the improvement in delivery assures them that it will not be long before they will drive their new Fords. We have about two hundred orders on our books which have not yet been filled."

Little manager of the part s and service division, in a statement issued last week pointed out that the 1928 building program when completed will increase the ~orage facilities of hh division by 30 percent. It will mean, he said, an addition of 210.000 additional feet of floor space. The warehouses and depots carry several hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of stock, and represent, therefore, a very im!)ortant factor in the commercial life of the communities in ~hich they are located. Aside from the building activity, the divi-3ional program for 1928, as outtined by Mr. Little, is also concerned with Boston and Denver, cities where now existent warehouses will be vacated this fall for new quarters be.., cause present facilities have proven inadequate.
