on which to pride himself
Manager c. T.. Tryon, of the Tryon
Motor Sales company, local chevrolet
representative. has long wanted some
unusual test to demonstrate the power
of the Chevrolet 490" model On Fri
dav morning he called up the automo-
bile editor Of The Herald and the
newspaper man to name the touShest
test of hill climbing you can thlnk o.
Mr.. Tryon suggested the Climb on the
east side of Mt Franklin to the strong
residence. but it was pointed out thal
several cars had successfully negotl-
ated this grade.
"Tbere's a hill back of Kern place,
leading up to the reservoir that looks
to be the real thing when it comes to a
tough passage" was the suggestion
given the Chevrolet dealer.
It was enough for him. He started
out a "490" with W. T. Gillespie at the
wheel and sent another car after the
auto writer. Arriving at the end of the
paving in Kern Place addition, the nil
was found. It was tougher than even
the newspaper man bad imagined The
grade. by a surveyors test-nothing
was left to guesswork-was "a per-
cent: 1t wasn't such an awful grade,
but the roadway was all loose stone and
sand. Half way up, a jutting rock ne
cessitated a Jump" of almost a foot. In
places, the grade was sleeper than 50
percent.
1t wasn't a real hill climb-it was a
hill plough" The wheels of the "490"
were buried in loose rock and sand al
most to the hubs at times, but driver
Gillespie sent the little car ahead stead
lily. 1t was slow work and called for
careful driving, but the ascent was
steady.
When the top was reached 1t was
found that the rear tires had suffered
considerably from the sharp rock of the
roadway. Otherwise the car was ready
for another such test.
TT sure was a tough climb" said MI
Tryon. We've taken far sleeper grades,
but one has to see the condition Of that
road to fully understand the power
necessary for the car to ascend the hill.
It may be that some other car will make
the climb. but I feel safe in saying that
no car in or anywhere near the Chew
roIet's price class will successfully
make the top"

H7RAVELING i'm an Overland CUP
J. C.. Conderman. an American
captain Of industry. accompanied
by Mrs. CondermaE, has just spent sew
eral days in Phoenix and the valley.
Mr.. Conderman is known throughout
the amusement world as the inventor
and the original manufacturer of the
Conderman ferris wheel.
Mr.. COnderman is a ElObe-trotter. His
story is not only interesting for any
tourist. hut it is a great endorsement
of the Overland coupe car; in fact, his
is said to have been the first coupe
hitherto considered purely a woman's
shopping or society car, to make a
pleasure and touring trip from ocean
to ocean. The car was purchased by
Mr.. Conderman in the summer of 1914
for the purpose of touring Europe. Mr..
COnderman had secured transportation
for himself and Mrs. Conderman and
the car on the Mauritania in the sum-
mer Of 1914. With the coming Of the
European wal they were forced TO can
eel their European trip and on August
a. 1914. Mr.. and Mrs. Conderman left
Chicago. their home, n for four
months Travelled to and through the
New England states. spending much
time on the Maine coast. During the
four months they Travelled 1898 miles
aud visited 10 states.
So thoroughly did they enjoy Ameri-
can travel that on June 1, 1915. they
left Chicago and have ever since been
travelling and visiting in the northwest
and western part Of the United
states. This trip has already net
led over 5000 miles. which. added
TO former trips n the regular
use of the car at home, has
brought the mileage to nearly $4,000
miles. II Mr.. Conderman claims the
car is in perfect running condition.
From Chicago they toured to the
north central states and spent consid-
cradle time visiting places of interest
in wyoming and Utah, particularly
