Once upon a time there was a
man and that man transformed
the world. That is not exagger
ated praise; nor do I mean that
a# the refinements came from
thp brain of one man.
Thomas A. Edison served man-
nd more generously, more
helpfully, than any other one
man, so far as I can remember,
the great achievements of ail the
truly surpassing geniuses and'
benefactors of all time.
‘Tew, if any, great scientific
discovert are to be credited to
When Linde started production
in 1943 raw synthetic sapphires
sold for about three cents a car
at; the current price is one cent
a carat.”
Then the same paper carried a
story about water - shedding
shoes.
“Shoes that shed water but
keep your feet as comfortable aa
if you were wearing convention
al leather footwear will soon be
put on the market.
Secret of the footwear is leath
er treated in the tanning pro
cess. Used in the shoe ‘uppers,’
this leather continues to breathe
even while it excludes water.
The breathing is what keeps
your feet comfortable' in regu
lar leather shoes. Add water
proof uppers to properly sealed
seams and you come up with
nearly water-proof shoes, the
shoemakers claim.”
Both Ford And
Chevrolet Cloim
Delivery Top Spot
Detroit, March 5 — Both Ford
and Chevrolet today claimed the
No. 1 rank in the delivery of pas
senger cars at retail last year.
Both attributed tneir claims to
the same source—R. L. Polk &
Co., industry statificians.
Chevrolet said the Polk fig
ures showed that its dealers de
livered 1,417,453 cars. Chevrolet
didn’t mention the Ford total.
Ford said ( “net” figures from
Polk showed its dealers sold 1,-
387,344 can as compared ■ to 4,-
362,Ob*/ for its “nearest competi

According to Ford the statisti
cal agency deducted units regis
tered to dealers amd manufac
turers in December of 1954 for
both Ford and the “nearest com
petitor.” The deductions, from
Ford were placed at 14,838 and
for the “nearest comptetitor” 66,-
802.
Ford also added 1,742 to its
total and 1,436 to that of the
competitor.
