BLOOD PREDICTS
INCREASED BUYING
Detroit, Mich., Dec. 30—Electric
refrigerator sales for 1936 will prob
ably show an increase over 1935 of
188 per cent, declared Howard E.
Blood, president of Norge Division,
Borg-Warner Corporation, in an
nouncing the results of Norge’s third
annual nation-wide marketing study
made with the help of newspapers
in every section of the country,
among 35,000 housewives. Sales
will likely approximate 2,230,000
units in 1936, said Blood.
•“Buying intent for 1936,” he said,
“is more positive than it has been
in years. Wage earners are gain
ing new confidence. From all in
dications they believe the depres
sion to be well over.
“Newspaper readers have been
building up a desire for home ap- ]
pliartces during the past several j
years, in large measure from read- j
ing newspaper advertisements,” said
Blood. “Increasing sureness of em
ployment is now releasing buying
desires that have been held in check
In all business history, there has
probably never been a more hope
ful year for electrical appliances
than 1936.”
On the basis of the upswing in
positive buying intent, together with
marked sales gains in 1935, Norge
is greatly increasing merchandising
and advertising activities in 1936.
As in past years. Norge is employ
ing extensive newspaper advertising,
much increased in the new year.
FRENCH WILL FIGHT
FOR LARGER FLEET
Delegates To London Confer
ence To Have Plenty To Say
At Parley Today-
London, Jan s.—Suave but earn
est French delegates to the naval
conference were ready tonight to
do most of the talking at Clarence
house, where the second stage of
the parleys opens tomorrow.
For 13 years their fleet, in the
words of Marine Minister Pietri,
has been “the Cinderella of Wash
ington” and they feel bitter about

They told the Japanese before the
conference adjourned for Christmas
on December 21 they would not be
party to any “big three” battlefleet
raiio thrown at them with a “take
it or leave it,” then relapse into
comparative silence.
A five-power agreement on limi
tation of total tonnages then pro
posed by Japan still had no attrac
etion for them.
To Have Lots To Say
“All discussion of ratios and
‘common upper limits’ is useless
and dosen’t interest us,” a French
spokesman said.
Now that individual tonnages of
each type of ship and varying sizes
of guns, so-called qualitative limi
tation, and to be taken up by the
conference, the French will have a
lot to say.
They will, it is expected, formally
ask for information on a subject)
they have been at great pains to
elucidate—the strength of the re
born German navy.
The British government, in an of
! ficial publication, admits that Ger
man naval construction projected
for the future is “not known” in
Whitehall,
“How then?” asks the French,
“can you expect us to bind our
selves to any limits except for a
very, short period?”
It is because of this “unknown
element” that France is advocating
limitation of tonnages and guns for;
each class of warship.
Superiority over any possible
rivals then becomes merely a mat
ter of numbers, of outbuilding
these rivals when she considers they
threatened her security.
The French never tire of point
ing out that although the Washing
ton naval agreement put France
well down the scale as a sea power,
they have 20,000 miles of coastline,
trade routes second only to those
of Britain in importance, and dis
tinct spheres of action in the Medi
terranean and in the Atlantic-chan
nel-North sea area.
Under-Seeretary of State, William
Phillips of the United States, re
turned today from a holiday and
rejoined the American delegation
for the reopening of the conference
at 3:15 p. m. tomorrow. The Italian
delegation, silent like Phillips, al
so returned from Rome.

CHEVROLET STARTS
USED CAR FUND
To Retire Unworthy Vehicles
From the Highways of the
Country.
Detroit, Mich. Jan. 2 —Chevrolet'
Motor Company started the - new
year with a $1,000,000 cooperative
plan to help move its dealers’ stock
of used cars, and to retire unworthy
vehicles from the highways of the
country, it was announced here to
day by M. E. Coyle, president ond
general manager of the company.
Beginning on New Year’s Day,
and continuing throughout January,
Mr. Coyle said, two important
special activities run concurrently.
First: Chevrolet will pay to the
dealer $20.00 for every old automo
| bile (accepted in trade on a new
jor used car) that he disposes of by
scrapping or junk.
! Second: Chevrolet will pay a
bonus to salesmen whose efforts en
able their dealership to sell more
used cars in January than it sold
in the same month of 1935.
Announcement of the aggressive
plan of promoting the sale of worthv
used car.s and ridding the market
of unworthy ones that clog the sales
channels of both used and new cars,
reveals that Chevrolet, which dur
ing the last twelve months has vig
orously attacked the used car
merchandising problems of its deal
ers, intends to carry on through
1936 not only with the methods that
have already proved successful, but
with new and bolder plans.
Mr. Coyle disclosed the plan
when he was asked what lay be
fore the automo< e industry in the
new year. After briefly reviewing
1935, commenting on its $25,000,009
expansion of Chevrolet production j
facilities, and its increased sales of
cars and trucks, Mr. Coyle declare! !

that the progress made by Chevrolet/
in the past year in raising the
standards of used car merchandis
ing was probably the most note
worthy development from the point
of view of the dealer
“Under W. E. Holfer, vice presi
dent and general manager,” said
Mr. Coyle, “Chevrolet has already
instituted two outstanding develop
ments that have greatly relieved the
used car problem of the dealer. The
Guaranteed OK Tag, that Chevrolet
dealers are permitted to attach to a
used car only if it has been tho
roughly reconditioned, and company
advertising of used cars in national
magazines and in local newspapers,
were two important forward steps
taken during the year just ended.
“It is now objective to maintain
used car sales at as high a level
during January as they have been
since the new cars were introduc
ed. The drive. w;e are putting on
now is bound to have a wholesome
effect throughout the entire dealer
organization, and to promote thei •
—des of u=ed cars-during a season
when used-car movement is most
’esirable.”

You may as well save money.. ;
particularly when you can get
more motoring pleasure in addition to substan
tial savings . . . and that is the happy experi
ence of people who buy new 1936 Chevrolets.
This new Chevrolet is fast! It’s spirited! It
goes places as you want your new car to go!
And goes with less gas and oil! All of which
naturally makes it a much better investment.
Then, too, the new Chevrolet for 1936 is
smarter, safer and more comfortable to ride in
than any other car selling at or near its price.
Come in—take a ride in this only complete
low-priced car— and get proof of its greater value.
