WHAT THE CHEVROLET FAC- EVEN VISITORS NOTE THAT
TORY EXPECTS TO DO IN 1928 CALDWELL IS A GOOD TOWN
Having achieved world leadership
in automobile manufacturing in 1927
with a yearly output nearly 2,000
units in excess of its program of a
million cars, the Chevrolet Motor
Company has embarked in 1928 upon
the most ambitious production and
Bales plans in its entire sixteen years
of existence, according to W. S. Knud-
sen, president and general manager.
The 1,000,000th car built in 1927
rolled off the assembly lines at the
Flint, Michigan, plant December 30,
with C. F. Barth, vice-president in
charge of manufacturing at the wheel.
The history making model was a se-
dan. It was prepared for immediate
shipment so that, with more than 32,-
000 other new models built in Decem-
ber, it might be available for prompt
delivery to new car purchasers.
The year as a result was the most
spectacular and most successful in
Chevrolet history.
Remarkable as were its 1927
achievements, however, the outlook
for 1928 looms even higher, accord-
ing to Mr. Knudsen, who stated that
while no definite production figure
has been set for 1928, this year's vol-
ume is certain to top by a comfortable
margin the record high mark for 1927.
His prediction is based on country-
wide prosperity which by every to-
ken should bring the automobile in-
dustry .the greatest year it has ever
known, Mr. Knudsen said.
"Our own organization is prepared
to handle its full share of this antici-
pated growth in business," he said.
"All Chevrolet production operations
are on a maximum capacity basis that
we may meet the 1928 demand, and
make immediate delivery on all mod-
els.
"Our service to the owner is on a
new high level through the opening
of new parts depots and warehouses
to expedite delivery of new or re-
placement parts.
"Production facilities ah •> have been
augmented by the recent purchase of
a $4,500,000 foundry at Saginaw,
Michigan, and a new assembly plant
which will get into production short-
ly at Atlanta, Ga„ to supply the
Southwest, and which will increase by
350 cars a day the volume of the oth-
er seven assembly plants now in ope-
ration in the United States.
"With these improved facilities, and
with our bigger and better car for!
1928, which at substantial price re-
ductions won such a warm public re-1
ception upon its initial showing on
January 1, we feel assured of estab-
lishing new records this year, and of
maintaining the steadfast public con-
fidence in the Chevrolet Motor Com-
pany which alone made possible our
very gratifying showing in 1927."
We heard a stranger remark the
other day that Caldwell looked like
it was a town of up-to-date business
concerns. He said the stores looked
, well stocked and well displayed, the
1 touch of city appearance, "Evident-
, ly," he went on to say, "the towrt en-
joys a good territory of trade." And
¡ very correct he was. Caldwell mer-
chants and business men, as a rule,
are of the progressive sort, and as
fine goods can be purchased here as
anywhere. The Caldwell stores are
interesting emporiums, palaces of
worldly needs and human desires. The
window displays invited you to look,
the advertisements of these stores in
The News also invite you and tell you
about these wonderful manner of
things, and where the people for
miles around read and see, they also
buy. Yes, Caldwell is an up-to-date
town, a good town, one of the best
towns its size anywhere. It is com-
forting to know and realize that we
can live in any corner of Burelson
County and do our .-ading in a town
that is apace with the progress of
time.
Mound Prairie News
We are somewhat late in express-
ing our appreciation of our new pa-
per. However, we can not refrain
from taying a word of congratula-
tion ttt the new editor, and a word of

< ral. We predict for it a great fu-
ture iiiid think that it is a publication
of which any County may be justly
proud.

Every day citizens make complaint
about various violations of the city
laws. One of the complaints is in ref-
erence to some people dumping dead
poultry and animals in the high weeds
and branches in the city limits, and
the other is mainly with reference to
disposal of trash and rubbish.
The public is specifically requested
to refrain from dumping either dead
animals and rubbish in the city limits
of Caldwell or on any of the public
roads of the county. The orHinance
of the city must be enforced for the
health of the community as well as
for the civic appearance.
The public therefore, is kindly re-
quested to constantly bear these
things in mind and desist in the fu-1
ture. No one wants to prosecute any
one, but if it has to be done to stop !
violations, then the city officers will
have to act.

Baptist Ladies Met
Monday Afternoon
Very Interesting Program Rendered.
The Woman's Missionary Union of
the Caldwell Baptist Church met Mon-
day afternoon from three to five in
a combined triple phase of work—a
Royal Service program, a busienss ses-
sion and a social hour.
Mrs. Cherry led the mission pro-
gram and gave a clear cut history
of the Missionary movement. She di-
vided this history into six periods
as follows: Apostolic (33 to 100 A.
D.);Early Church (100 to 800 A. D.);
Medieval (800 to 1500 A. D.); Refor-
mation (1500 to 1650 A. D.); Post
(1650 to 17'J3 A. D.); an 1 Modern
(1793 to date).
The Modern Missionary movement
which is enlisting so much thought
and talent can be partially understood
by the following statistics gathered
in 1926: There were 4,400 mission
fields established by Portestant be-
lievers alone. There were 28,000 Mis-
sionaries with many helpers. And the
movement represented an expenditure
for one year of $45,000,000.00
' A monthly business meeting with
Mrs. C A. Bain presiding was held
¡after which the ladies adjourned to the
I Sunday School rooms and enjoyed a
delightful social hour. Many ladies
dropped in for this part of the after-
I noon and to partake of ¡he refresh-
ments which were served by Mes-
dames W. C. Carroll, A. M. Goodwin,
G. A. Rankin and C. W. Bullock.
Mrs. W. K. Simpson has gone to
Lubbock to visit her daughter, Mrs.
James Holt.
