CHEVROLET NOTES. y

! The Chevrolet car continues to stand
ipre-eminent in the light car class,
and IFS popularity has literally
Iswamped the various plants with or
dcrs. The Pacific Coast factory at
Oakland, Cal. has found it necessary
to increase the number of hours in
the working day, and to work a night
shift, to keep up the necessary pro
Iduction to meet the demand, and sew
Ieral new buildings have recently been
added to an already large plant. Not
uithstanding all these efforts on the
part of the company, the factory is
finding it very difficult TO make the
shipments desired by the dealers.
( While the Chevrolet is wen known
some recent performances have aston
isded the automobile world and the
company has been showered with tele-
grams Of congratulation, A stock car,
-Four Ninety model, recently beat the
Southern Pacific's crack train-the
Shasta Limited-from Portland to Eu-
gene, Ore, by two minutes, and clipped
Il minutes from the best previous
antomobile record. The distance Is
- miles. Time, hours and 49 min
utes.
Space will not permit an account
of service the car has given in the
hands Of various owners, who continue
to write the company entirely unso-
licited. Accounts Of long trips over
rough country, climbing mountains, cr
astonishingly low gasoline consump-
ton. substantiate the most extrava-
c9nt claims one could make, for, as
the saying goes, Truth is stranger
than fiction"
The Chevrolet Motor Company,
through arrangements made many
r;onths ago, has the facilities for OBJ
tanning unlimited material for con-
siruction. Therefore our dealers are
assured they can obtain cars. How
e. er, the condition of the material
market is such that the company can
rot guarantee a continuance of the
present price after June. The local
dealers-Sebastian & Wyeth-have
been fortunate enough to obtain a
carload of the -Four Ninety model, and
those who purchas eimmediately will
save considerable money by purchas-
ing at the present price.
