(With Head Set), Each

_•-
The Federal D. X. receiver is especially suited for use
where a receiver is desired that is more selective than is
the single tuned circuit receiver. Federal No. 57. The
greater selectivity of the Federal D. X. receiver is secured
through the use of two tuned circuits provided with con-
trols which make it possible by a series of simple adjust-
ments to secure a degree of selectivity quite exceptional
for a receiver as simple in operation as the Federal D. X.

MILLIONTH BUICK CAR
In March, 1923, Buick produced Car No. 1,000,000. Grouped about
this car are five men who participated in the making of from five hundred
to seven hundred thousand of these cars and are still occupying "key"
positions with the company. From left to right they are: William Beacraft,
manager of the motor department; F. C. Richards, research engineer; c,
Ross, general superintendent; F. A. Bowers, assistant chief engineer; E. A.
DeWaters, chief engineer.
came president and general manager.
Thus Mr. Bassett has taken a promi-
nent part in the production of all but
about 4,000 of the Iluick million.
Then there is Cady B. Durham, who
was made assistant general manager
upon Mr. Bassetts acquisition to the
presidency in 1919. Mr. Durham came
to the Buick in the eraly days as as-
sistant superintendent of one of the
many units. Later he was prompted to
general master mechanic, then to gen-
eral superintendent, and finally to his
present position "next to the throne".
Some of the other present "key" men
worked on the first Buick built after
the incorporation of the company in
1903, 20 years ago. One of them work-
ed on the drawings of experimental
Iluick cars as for back as 1896. He
iv F C Richards, at present research
engineer.
William Beacraft, manager of the
motor department, built the engine for
the first Bulk car. At that time the
employees of the company numbered
less than one hundred. C. J. Ross,
general factory superintendent, has
taken a more or less prominent part in
seeing through the plant more than
985,000 cars. Chief engineer E. A.
DeWaters came to Buick in 1905 and
F. A. Bower, his chief assistant, short-
ly afterwards, so that the modern Bu-
irk car is largely due to development
under their guidance. In the ranks
there are several hundreds whose ser-
vice covers a period of more than 15
years.
In the sales department, E. T.
Strong, now general sales manager,
has assisted in the disposition of more
than 900,000 Buicks. He was first ern-
ployed as a special traveling renresen.
tative, then as branch manager at
Buffalo, Indinapolis and Chicago, r e.
spectively. In 1916, Strong stepped
into his present position. Sini.e then,
under his direction, more than 750 ;
000cars, or three quarters of the total
Buick production, have been market-
ed.
While the sensational breaking of
production and sales records may he
the dominant subject of discussion
wherever the name Buick is mentioned
elsewhere, it does not dwarf in local
conversation certain other unique ac-
tivities of this big organization.
For Buick, aside from the fact that
it embodies in its personnel and their
dependents more than half of the pop.
ulation of this city of 130,000, is con-
tinually doing things to bring Flint
more prominently into the limelight.
This is brought particularly to mind
by three current ventures, to wit:
1. The opening in this city of a new
retail sales and service station intend-
ed as a model for the entire Buick field
organization.
2, Launching of the Flint Institute
of Technology with especial Buick
instruction course, sponsored by the
Buick factory.
3. Announcement of the completion
of the new Buick branch at Jackson-
ville, Fla., intended primarily as a
Florida home for the thousands of Bu-
ick cars driven there by tourists from
all parts of the United States during
the winter.
It is conceded that these three en-
terprises are original with Buick and
of exceeding signifienace to Buick
owners, for each amplifies materially

BUICK PLANT MELTING POT FOR FORTY NATIONS
The skill of workmen from forty different countries is embodied in Buick
cars. Every one of them is either a naturalized American citizen or has
taken out his first papers. Recently a photographer was able to get 22 of
these representatives together, with the above result.
