Gilbert used new Buick 2249

plicate of the model which the j.
Raymond Wilson company of New
York have purchased ten for use
in eranscontinental sightseeing pur-
poses, having New York and Los
Angeles as the terminals of the line.
Gilbert toured across the country
via Cleveland, indianapolis, Decatur,
Danville, ILL.,, St. Louis. Minneola, Mo.
and Columbia. At Deming a severe
sandstorm was encountered Santa
Fe. n. NJ, and Douglas. Ariz.. were
visited and from the latter point a
side trip into Old Mexico was made.
The mechanical expense of the trip
was less than 81 to Gilbert, and the
car used 246 gallons of gasoline in
the 3,452 milss of travel, an average
of 14.03 miles to the gallon.
Missouri gumbo mud failed to halt
the Buick at any stage. says Gill
bert, and he expressed his delight at
the performance of the car when re-
counting his story to Howard repre-
sentatiyes. The machine was in per

Few drivers ever pass over the

cause of the danger on the twisting,

Benedict, an amateur however. was
not afraid to tackle the undertaking
with the Paige 6-66 motor under the
hood of his car. His object at the
outset was not a speed record over
the road but merely a high-gear
test, as there is no record of a car
having made the ascent in high.

GENERAL MOTOR
OUT BOOK
Of MOTOR DOPE

Something new in the form of fl

sued by Dominiek & Dominick of the
New York stock exchange. 1t is
handsomely tound book, giving in
teresting facts concerning the auto
motive industry as a whole and de-
scribing he General Motors corpora
ton in detail.
It poi~ts out that all the Amer
lean industries, the manufacture of
automotive equipment ranks first in
the value of finished products.
1t further states that among the
great producers of the automotive
industry. General Motors ranks first
in value of normal output and sec
ond in number of motor vehicles
produced The book gives a complete
list of all the component units of
General Motors corporation and the
products of each.
The IS divisions and SUBSIDIARY
companies operate plants in 35 cities
of the United States and Canada.
The products include the fol-
lowing well known passenger auto
mobiles: Cadillac, Buick, Chevrolet,
Oakland and Oldsmobile: also four
lines of motor trucks: Chevrolet, G..
NJ. c., Sampson and Oldsmobile; and
in addition, Samson farm tractors
and implements; Delco and F'rigi-
daire domestic appliances, Dayton
Wright airlelnes and miscellaneous
automotive equipment used through
out the trade, including Klaxon
horns, A. c. spark plugs. Harrison
radiators, JaXon rims. Delco and
Remy starting and lighting systems,
Hyatt roller bearings, New Depar-
ture BAH bearings, Fisher bodies. and
other well known products.
The presentation is further ampli-
fled by chart showing the corpo-
rate structure of the organization and
the relation of the various constit-
uents to the parent corporation.
A detailed analysis of the corpora
tion's financial history is given with
particular reference to the senior Sc

gust, 1917 when the corporation in
its present form was orgaized, the
net income. after making all deduc-
tions for taxes and reserves. as well
as the extraordinary losses and ad-
justments of 1921, has totaled more
than four and three quarters times

TREAT EN- ROUGH
AND GET SERVICE

No, Not the old cave man stuff
but pretty close to it. Cal Messner
tells of the service delivered by a
Chandler under the worst kind of
abuse and cites it as an example of
what real automobile manufacturing
means TO the car owner. The dope
concerns II. f. Shafer of Los Angeles,
owner of a Chandler.
Some things seem to simply thrive
on abuse remarks Shafer. 1T seems
in such cases that the harder you are
with it the greater the service you
get"
That's the case with my automo-
bile. When ! was travelling for the
Republic Rubber company l put the
old car through the toughest going in
the country. My trips took me all
over the state and down into Arizona
to towns where the nearest approach
to 2 road was a boulder strewn wash.
81 bought my Chandler in August,
1919, and about a year ago I joined
the 100, 900 mile club. When l left the
rubber business and went into real
estate. | decided at once to get an
other car but the old Chandler was
such a friend by that time that
simply couldn't bring myself to the
point of giving it up and taking the
trouble of driving a, new car carefully
for aperiod until it was broken in.
have averaged seventeen and one-half
miles to the gallon Of gas, have had
wonderful oil mileage and my tires
last from $4,000 to $4,000 miles.
THE only reason | am getting a
new Chandler is because l need that
new model with its classy lines to
carry my prospects. You see I've got
to let 'em know how good business
is
AS Cal Messner puts it, THE abso-
lutte satisfaction of Chandler owners
with their individual ears is the
greatest obstacle we have in getting
old Chandler owners to look at the
new models. OF course. after they
see the new Chandler with its many
refinements. they're glad to have the

PROTECT
WORKMEN'S EYES
IN BIG FACTORY

Only one man out of the more than
1000 that work in the various plants
of the Cadillac Motor Car company
has lost the sight of an eye in an
industrial accident during the past
five years.
This remarkable record has been
made through the efforts of the safe
ty supervisor. foremen and officials
of the company to have all men en-
of similar nature wear goggles.
Recently an exhibit of broken gog-
giles has been placed on the bulletin
boards of the different departments
of the main plant. The exhibit shows
the men how the loss of an eye was
saved by the protection of the Cog
giles. Each broken eyeglass is labeled
with the mans name and the kind of
accident.

MANY CAMPERS To
HIT TRAIL SOON

In the camp equipment section of
Western Auto Supply company's big
store the inquiry for camp articles is
greater than ever. The demand for
equipment does not seem to be linn
tied to any one class or kind, but is
general. The hiker wants the latest
in equipment that folds into small
compass, and is light in weight; the
motorist wants everything that will
make his touring or camping trip
more comfortable and enjoyable.
In some cases the purchasers have
been planning trips into the hills to
see the snow and to get a taste of the
winter conditions that they have been

DON'T CARRY new
TIRES AS SPARES

1t is mistake to carry new tires
as spares. The epidemic of tire
stealing that prevails throughout the
country has demonstrated the avidity
of tire thieves for tires that never
have been used and can be disposed
of as new. A new tire naturally
brings a much higher price than one
that shows wear. Motorists whose
new spares have been stolen with un-
failing regularity should remember
that they have been offering tempt
ing bait to the thieves. The sensible
thing to do, says the United States
Tire company, is to use new tire
for a few hundred miles before us
ing it as a spare.

equipment he has with him. So much
has been done in the last year or two
to improve camp articles that no one
can even imagine half of the good
things that are available, and trip
through the camp equipment section
at Western Autos big store is well
worth while.
