...years ago. When alumni and faculty members of Alfred University resolved to spend some $10,000 on a memorial carillon for President Emeritus Boothe Colwell Davis, they instructed a bell founding firm of Brussels, Michaux & Michaels, to buy 35 old bells rather than cast new ones, which would cost somewhat more. Agents of Michaux & Michaels bought the bells in municipal halls, churches and chateaux of Belgium, Holland, northern France.

Most of the 2,500 existing doodlebugs have a 75-inch wheelbase, as compared to the 105-inch average of standard racing cars, weigh from 600 to 1,000 lb. The original midget cars were crude affairs powered by motorcycle engines, later by outboard motors, cost about $400 to build.

Although Promoter Alley at first claimed that there was no money in the sport, the following year he proceeded...

It fails to make any allowance for the fact that some transactions result in losses. It seriously affects contracts already made with Mexican buyers without expectation of the added cost. It will also result in double taxation for any concern which maintains an office in Mexico, since such offices already pay income taxes. According to the new decree, these offices will be entitled to a rebate, but U. S. exporters sniffed that the chance of getting money back from Mexico...
