Notes at Random Here'a a trua get-rich-Blowly Btory: Some years ago, probably at least ten, a man went to work ln one of th? large tire companies as a mechanic.

He had $200 saved up and it seemed to him an appropriate thing to invest ln the company he was working for. So he bouglit t4vo shares of stock at par. A fflW tl.oiei.iter a stock divi dend Bt tfl 1 wa? declared. That brought his boldiagi up to tan Loter on a further stock dividend at, ta to 1 was declared. That brought him up to eighty shares.

The latest quota- I tion on thifl BtOflk is $1,050 a share. ln other words, this workman now has $84,000 to show for his orlginal in? vestment of f-'OO.

A suit entered against the Bflaith Eorm-A-Truck Company, of Chicago, to establish the validity and scope of the patent has been settled by the Smith company agreeinp to take out a license an.l to pay royalties on all trucks made.

J. Kilborn has been made general sales manager of the Liberty Motor Car Company. He started as a travcller In Oklahoma for the P. 0. Plouph Company, and became sales manaper of that company.

In 1911 Kilborn left the farm implement business to become braneh manager in Kansas City for the Motor Company.

Two and a half years ago Kilborn was appointed manaper of the Oakland Motor Company's Chicago wholesale braneh, ar.d in that capacity had had charpe of the distribution of Oakland cars in the Central West. The motor car of the future will be built almost solely from pressed steel, declares Hav Harroun, in charge of the engineerinp and produetion of the new Harroun Motors Corporation. Harroun says that his new car will contain a greater proportion of pressed steel than any design now on the market.

He draws the conclusion that, arith in a few years, the product of dies and will largely displace such materials as gray-iron and malleable castings, alum inum, wood, brass, bronze and a large proportion of the forgings now used in automobile construction.
