L. Gllpin, vice president and general sales manager of the company. Eetall sales of Pontiac cars were 17,180 for the month agalns 7,946 March 1934, an increase of well over 100 per cent. March retail sales in 1933 were only 5440. The last ten day period produced 67S9 sales compared with 3,169 in 1934 and 2886 in 1933.

First quarter sales were 38,573 cars compared with 15,164 during the first three months ol 1934, an Increase of 154 per cent. Pontiac sales in the mouth of March alone this year exceeded those of the entire first quarter of 1934. These first quarter gales figures are the best that Pontiac has had since 1929. The same record holds true for the entire month of March and the final ten day period of the month. Export shipments at the end of March had almost doubled those of the entire year of 1934.

Commenting on the excellent business that Pontiac Is enjoying all over the United States, Mr. GHpin pointed out that sales to date easily justify the earlier predictions of total sales for the year approaching the 150,000 mark. His conclusions are based on the fact that over a long period of years 23.1 per cent of General Motor car sales have been in the first three months of the year. Using that percentage figure Pontiac's total sales for 1935 should be over 165,000.

The Model Ford contained only fifty-six pounds of rubber, while the present Ford V-8 contains 164 pounds. So rapidly are new applications being discovered that the Ford company would not be surprised to see as much as 200 pounds used in future Ford cars. In the early cars, rubber was employed chiefly for tires and tubes. Now it is applied throughout the car to improve riding qualities and lengthen life, as well as reduce cost of manufacture.

Today rubber is used in making steering wheels, batteries, switches, junction blocks, weatherstrips, running boards, floor mats, motor supports, axle bumpers, sound deadeners, fan belts, radiator hose, insulating material, grommets, door bumpers, spring shackle bushings, and top materials, as well as tires and tubes. All Ford rubber compositions are made to strict specifications and severely tested before use in car construction. Steering wheels must withstand drops from a height of six feet after twelve hours exposure to a temperature of 20 degrees below zero faluenheit.
