CHEVROLET MAKES
LONG TRIP RECORD
ILLUSTRATES DEPENDABILITY
OF AUTO FOR TRANSCON-
TINENTAL TRAVEL.

Dep Inability of the automobile in
tranScontinental travel has been dem
onstrated many times, but probably
never better thar in the case of
Jimmy" Appleby, we'll known to
racing enthusiasts the country over
for his former connection with the
speed game. Applcby has just reached
the coast after a crOsS-courtry drive
from Cincinnati, and has written to
Burton TroXell of The local Chevrolet
forces regarding his experience.
According to the log of the Apple
by land cruise, which was shared in
by Mr. and Mrs. Appleby md their
son, the total expense for trip last
ing just 80 days and covering 3,643
miles was exactly $160.43. This in
cluded food, lodging. fuel, lubricants
and repairs. Needless to say the lat
ter item did not leave much to record
being confined to five punctured tires
During the entire trip Appleby did
not raise the hood on hi -Four
Ninety" Chevrolet. except % put in
oil.

fetal to anyone contemplating a trip
across the country, but who hesitates
either because of fear of the roads or
the expense Gntailed," said Appleby.
In neither instance is timiditv iusti-

fed. for only in the case where time
is vital factor does railroad service
even approach journeying in motor
car.
The train fare from Cincinnati to
the coast is Sos person, and this
figure makes no allowance for berths
or meals. The total expense for three
of us with Chevrolet was $3.50
each. and this included everything.
While we camped out most of the
time, there was an occasion or tNG
when we slept in hotels, but we found
camping not only less expensive but
also much more enjoyable"
On his 2,643-mile trip Appleby
used but 141 gallons of gasoline. an
average of 1928 miles to the gallon.
His record for low consumption of
lubricants was remarkable. as his
Chevrolet made the trip on 8 quarts
of oil, which was better than 972
miles to the gallon.

livery this week of an even dozen

four of them to residents of Shelton.
