The traffic department of the company,
which In time Ilka theae, la looked to In
retting materlala Into tha .factory on
schedule time, haa been materially In
creased. Many men are eonatantly out on
tha road, working both with the railroad

to keep tho wheel a-rolllng. The factory
la taxed to Ha utmost, and though the
big plant eemed to u previously to be
adequate to meet any condltlona that

In It now that la not being utilized all
of tha time.
"Our production for March of thli year
exceeded the production of the, game
month a year ago more than four time
ever. Think of It, more than four time
a many car were produced thla March
, aa laat, and every Indication I that the
production of subsequent month will be
proportionately greater.
'"Of course, we all reallase that there
I a material shortage to contend with.
But, despite thla, the Cole company ha
launched ! biggest year of production
"a,nd every bit of 1 1 a' energy la being

The) production for the year, according

year, despite the fact that the organisa
tion la concentrating Ita greateHt effort
on the Cole Eight model.
