Mitchell stressed the June gain in factory jobs. The increase was 244.000. about douole the usual rise for the month. It pushed factory employment to 16.400.000, omy about 400 000 below the pre-recession level in mid-1957. The heaviest rehiriug was in the metals and ma hinery which would be hit first if the steel strike threatened for midnight tonight causes a prolonged shutdown.

Auto employment held steady for June, and job improvements were reported in the and clay industries. Dr. Seymour Wolfbein, deputy assistant secretary of labor, noted that the increase in ichlessness in June was concentrated unong young people of 14 to 24 mainly those released from schools and colleges. Unemployment in that age group rose by 800.000, meaning that unemployment among adults adult male breadwinners employed in declined during the month. Government sources had anticipated a rise in unemployment because of the influx of job-hunting students.

For economists estimate that if all cars were as economical as Rambler, you and other mqiorists would save SI Vi to S2 billion a year on gasoline alone. The engines above represent the most devoted, single- minded, pioneering development ol economical cars undertaken bv an American manufacturer. hile other makes were fighting a tooth-and-nail and horsepower race.

Rambler engineers were fighting to yave money for the American motorist. First Rambler engineers fought everlasting enemv of economy. That problem was solved with Tighter, stronger, aircraft-type Single Unit Rambler Single Unit Construction saves hundreds of pounds of gas-wasting, excess weight. Next. Rambler engineers set out to design engines to give the best performance on the least fuel.

RAMBLER YEARS OF TESTING We built and tested engines of many different metals, cast-iron, aluminum, various alloys. We are delivering an American Motors V-4 aluminum, air-cooled engine to the armed forces, in a special purpose vehicle. We built 2 and 4-cycle engines 1, 2, 3. 4, 6, 8-cvlinder. V-engines, in-line engines, pancake engines with opposing cylinders.

L-head, F-head, overhead valve engines, air-cooled and liquid-cooled engines. ENGINE-FRONT OR REAR built and tested front-cngine, front-drive cars rear-enginc, rear-drive cars. We assembled the largest collection of foreign cars in the We tested them under every type of driving condition. We were open-minded. Our prototype tests made it clear that the rear enmne finds its best use in very small, very light cars; that engine weight in the rear can improve traction, but creates serious problems of steering balance.

Use of a rear engine is at times dictated by styling insistence on excessively low cars deficient in entrance room and seating comfort. Our extensive research showed clearly that the engine should be up front in a Rambler-size car. There it gives the greatest steering stability and safer control under a variety of conditions. And it provides greater passenger safety than is possible in a car that has the gas tank up front and the heavy engine weight in the rear, with ihe passengers sandwiched in between. THE HOT SUBJECT OF ENGINE COOLING Engineering research and our actual experience proved that air-cooled engines tended to be noisier and that temperature control, most important to operating efficiegcy, was much more difficult to maintain.

manv years of research and testing of all types of engines, followed bv 10 years and 25 billion owner- driven miles in Ramblers, have convinced us that the ideal power plant is the front-mounted, liquid-cooled engine. Rambler owners know this to be true. For survevs show they get better economy and have fewer complaints than owners of any competitive car. Rambler sales are at an all-time high. Motorists want a compact car that gives them real economy and handling ease, plus big car room, comfort and performance.

AUTO INDUSTRY TURNED UPSIDE DOWN The Rambler concept has sparked the biggest revolution in recent automobile history. In state after state, from Maine to California, Rambler is now outselling all but two American makes. And Rambler currently outsells the seven most popular foreign cars combined. Thus, it was to be expected that other manufacturers would be forced to build the type of car so in demand. But there is no substitute for experience.

More than ten vcars of building compact cars, added to many additional vears of research and testing, are the reasons for Rambler's basic right combination of qualitv, performance, room, comfort and economy that motorists want. Ask anv Rambler owner. He'll tell you why than a thousand people a day are switching to the 59 Rambler. Or, be your own judge and drive a Rambler at your Rambler dealer.
