POSSIBLE RAIL
MERGER TALKED
| j *
Road* Involved
In Consolidation
A Now Planned
(By The Associated Press.)
WASHINGTON D. <?. March 1-
Vuestions involved in n possible con
solidationof the St. Louis-San Francis-
co and Chicago. Kock Island and Pacific
railroads were discussed by officials of
the former road today before the inter
state commerce commission.
The hearing was on the specific ques-
tion of giving officers of the St. Louis
San Francisco authority to hold similar
offices in the Rock Island.
Kdward N. Brown director of the St.
Loulg-San hratteisco said formal appli-
cation for authority to merge the two
lines would not be submitted until the
whole consolidation situation had been
clarified by the commission and a de
vision handed down in the Nickel Plate
merger case.
“For some time past" lie said “we
have been studying the condition of the
territory served by the Frisco railway
and the surrounding country to deter-
mine with what other railway line this !
company could best be combined. In
\ iew of the highly competitive system !
already formed and being formed in th.- j
southwest it seemed to us essential '
that the Frisco should have at least |
some assurance of cooperation with an-
other railroad throigh which it could
secure established eudets to the Gulf of <
Mexico the Mexican frontier and the
west.”
The Kock Island he said appeared the
best available candidate. Under an
arrangement with the Frisco he con-
tinued Speyer and company and J. and
X W. Seligman and company had pur-
based 275000 shares of common stock
the Rock Island and on January

authorized purchase from Spe>*

□Discards as easily as a piece of
tissue. No laundry. No embar-
rassment.
Five times as absorbent as ordi-

“We have Never
Lowered the Quality
to Reduce the Price**
Since ISO:. when the l ord Motor Company was formed. Ford
cals have been constant!} improved in quality comfort con-
venience and appearance. Recent improvements include new
;<ml attractive body line-—a lower center of gravity—dosed
cars in color and all-steel bodies.
The basic feature* of Ford design have geen retained. Three
pf int motor suspension planetary transmission dual ignition
system torque tube drive multiple disc-in-oil dutch splash
lubrication thermo-syphon cooling system—all have been
features of the Ford ear for eighteen years. On the whole
these features cost far more to manufacture than convention-
al design but are usee! because of their superiority.
1 he laird Motor t ompany has carried out a program of price
reducTien that has consistently kept l ord value supreme in
the automotive industry. This has been made possible by
the magnitude of Ford production. With lesser resources.
Ford qualit} would not be possible at anywhere near Ford
prifes- ’ . .UJt
The tremendous demand for Ford dosed cars has again made
possible substantial price reductions.
