The ' number of cars that have, been turned out this year by the automobile plants is considerably in excess of former years, and it is only reasonable that there should be a stowing down now until the demand catches up with the supply." Declares Air Equipment Will Increase Paint Sales "My message to the paint industry is this," says J. A. Faasche, presi- dent of the Paasche Airbrush Co. "Do not ex pect generalities and immense ad vertising c a m - paigns to increase PaintO*les- 11 can't oe done. "Do not expect the impossible from the splendid `Save the Surface' compaign -- no matter how mas J. A Puiehl terfully that campaign may be handled. Words alone will not in crease the sale of paint generally. "I sometimes wonder how much longer the executives in the paint in dustry will continue to ignore the fact that the one only real obstacle to a greatly increased sale of paint is the high cost of hand application. "Facts and figures prove that two- thirds the cost of any hand painted job is labor cost. The public can not and will not ignore these high cost figures--now, why should the man most concerned, that is, the paint manufacturer, continue _ to ignore what the public has long since recognized as a fact? The Save the Surface and Clean Up and Paint Up campaigns have made people paint conscious and they want to clean up and paint up--but that two-thirds la bor cost in every hand painted job renders these splendid campaigns in effective. "We progress through change.. Airpainting machines provide the means for an increased consumption of paint generally, because the high cost of hand application is eliminated. That has been true industrially and' the same result will follow generally once the economies of airpainting are made known through facts and . figures to the public." Cooperation Solves Many Paint Manufacturing Problems Co-operation of the manufacturers of raw materials has contributed a great deal to the success enjoyed by paint manu facturers in re cent years, ac cording to A. C. Eidc, sales engi neer of the search to improve their products, and develop new ones wherever a genuine need existed," he says. "The producers of pigments have been up and coming in this respect, and it is noticeable to the paint manufactur ers in the form of higher quality zinc oxides and lithopone, which is as it should be. "An aditional result has been the production of several types of the same pigment, sold under the same general brand name, but each de signed to meet some particular re quirement in paint factory opera tions, or in the paint itself." Mechanical Equipment in Paint Industry Equal to Needs Keeping pace with the mechanical requiremnts of the modern paint plant is a matter of closely scrutiniz ing each detail of construction in or der that undue friction may be eliminated and the mechanism . en dowed with addi tional strength and ability to with stand longer oper ation at its fullest capacity, accord ing to James W. Jnw w. Kart Kent, president Kent Machine Works, Inc., Brooklyn. "In the matter of bearings alone it has been found possible to substitute rollers of hardened steel which run with a minimum of lubrication and require little attention," he says. "Ma chines such as grinding mills, equipped in such manner, have been driven with one-third less power than similar type mills in which the old-fashioned bronze bearings are used. This also holds true of stone mills which have been equipped with roller bearings and roller bearing step." Urges Paint Industry To Profit from Style Changes "The paint industry should take full advantage of the demands of this age," says R. J. Clemens, presi dent of the Standard Glass & Paint Co., Des Moines, and president of the National Associa tion of Paint Dis tributors. "Surely the public is de manding not only _. *. J. Cleans color but changes, new styles, new ideas. "The function of our industry Is to preserve and to beautify, and sure ly no industry has a greater oppor tunity to profit by the present day demands than does ours. "Various surveys indicate that the paint industry is not getting its full share of the public spending dollar. If these surveys are developing facts, then it would seem that we are not taking full advantage of our oppor frequently replaced so long as it re mains in satisfactory physical condi tion and appearance. "Figuratively speaking, let us broaden our fenders, soften up our tires, put on four wheel brakes and possibly even front wheel drive, and, as an industry, cash in on the pub lic's demand for changes." Important to Industry "Striking developments in the dis covery and manufacture of new white pigments adapted for use in _ paint making continue to come forward and constitute one of the many impor tant influences be ing brought to play in the indus try," says P. E. Sprague, vice- resident of the Huston Lead Co., Scranton, Pa. "I think it may P. E. 3prru well be true that these and other Changes in the paint manufacturers working tools have pressed ahead more rapidly than the industry in gen eral has been able to absorb them, so that the proper place to use and the kind of results to expect from new kinds of pigments requires a lot of consideration. "This is particularly true of form ulating paints for exterior use. Much progress has been recorded in devising quick tests to simulate accurately weather and long time exposure, but none have apparently justified all of the hopes placed in them, so that a con siderably long time scrutiny of actual painting jobs remains the final cri terion." "Plan Your Work, Work Your Plan" H. M. Toch Advises "Plan your work, then work your plan,' is the advice of Henry M. Toch, son of the founder of Toch Brothers, division of the Standard Varnish Works, New York, in in- troducing his views on business philosophy to Convention Daily readers. ' "Man is as great as are the accomplishments of his H. II. Toch vision. Waste is the handmaid of his ruin. Consultation and co-operation with open-mindedness invite harmony and success. "Operation without co-operation, invites controversy and failure. Team work is fine work and brings gratify ing results. A square deal begets a square deal. You get what you give. "Be sure you are right, then carry on and on. Courage and enthusiasm make winners. Try, keep on trying. "Facts and truth are vital--stick to them.

Puffer Scores Low Gross in Annual Talk by Senator Fess Features Golf Tournament of N. P. 0. & V. A. Closing Banquet H. B. Puffer, of the American Com mercial Alcohol Corporation, New York, is the new coif champion of the National Paint, Oil and Varnish Asso ciation, turning in the low gross score of 88 over the difficult course of the Congressional Country Club yesterday. Taxicabs were drawn up in tong tines before tho Mayflower at daybreak, as the paint golfers streamed out at that unwonted hour for die long trip to the golf course. The sun rose brightly and by the tune the first four some stepped up to the tee it was evi dent that the paint men were to be favored with a perfect day. The course was in excellent condition and there was plenty of run to the shots, but too many of them failed to stop short of tiie yawning traps for which this course is famous, so that the scores were none too low. The Golf committee had left nothing undone in the completion of their arrangements for the occasion, and it was a happy lot that trooped back into the Mayflower ia time for the annual banquet last evening. There were in all twenty-eight events, the winners being as follows: Officers and Directors: Low gross, Leon S. Hanline, 93; low net, R. B. Robinette, 78. Flight A: Low gross, D. W.

Fess, of Ohio, was the principal speaker at the fortysecond annual banquet of the National Paint, Oil and Varnish Association held in the main ballroom of the May flower last night Senator Fess spoke on *Curreat Topic*,'' and took up such matters as the tariff, taxation, foreign relations and similar problems. Following a very delightful dinner, : which the retiring ^resident of the association, Charles J. Caspar, pre sided, and at which be sang his swan mg, Wallace F. Bennett was introseed as toastmaster. In making a very few remarks Mr. sapor told the banqueters that his ran song was "Good Bye, Boys, Fa Through.* He said that the past year, since be had been president of the association, has been "wonderful," sod while it has been busy, it has also been "full of joy.* He asked for a hand for "Jim" Keister, past president of the sisoeiation, whose illness kept *' n from singing his own swan song Detroit last year, and this was given in no uncertain spirit with a rising vote.

He then introduced the new president, Henry S. Chatfield. President Outfield stated that ha was one of the first, way -back in 1894 to advocate free alcohol for the arts and sciences. He spoke of the Clean Up and Paint Up campaigns, aad said "they have just started* He told the mem bers of the association that ha ia going to make H bis aim to co out over the country aad "eell" the National Associa tion to the paint dobs, small a# wcS u larfta. of the country.

"Tariff", ha mid "Is not mccae very well.* He told tha diner* that before coming to the banquet mem of the Senate had agreed to vote at one o'eitiek today on the last of the administrative features of the tariff bill. Senator Feu pointed out, however, that the agricultural interests are un fortunately dissatisfied with the ' bill ss H ia now eonstitoted that they want a tariff on products only.

Senator Fen spoke of the foreign defats and called attention to the fact that never m the history of the world ha* anyone ever had (he purchasing power which the United States oow has. He expressed the hope (hat busmen cycle deprestioits can be overcome by the regulation of production to caroamptioa needs.
