"PrediCtiOns on general business con-
ditions for 1923 as reported by visitors
from widely separated sections would
indicate that the expected revival is
not likely to be 'spotty,' but that all
sections are beginning to feet the in

stable economic era. 1t was encouraging
to hear good reports from visitors from

REVOLVING BUICK
CHASSIS FEATURE
AT CHICAGO SHOW
Popular Car Again Gets
Place of Honor Be-
cause of Sales.

Chicago, Feb. 3.-Buick again &C.
cupied the position of honor at the
National Automobile Show which open
ed here last Saturday. This was On
the strength Of leading all others in
business done, and the other manufac-
turers' exhibits were in the same rela-
lively advantageous space as at New
York.
Chicago. In the twenty-three years
that the National Automobile Ch1mber
of Commerce has been putting op these
exhibitions, has always been better
selling" show than New York, but it
is the consensus Of opinion that 1t
will have n hard time maintaining its
supremacy this year.
An exhibit that attracted great at
tention here, as it did at New York,
was the Buick revolving chassis. This
remarkable cut-out chassis, which is
constantly in action whether revolving
or not, seems to fascinate spectators,
some of whom stand for hours watch
ing its operation. Never before mas SC
much of an automobile chassis been
revealed to the eye at one time. Sc
| important is it regarded as a sales aid
that the Buick people have had a Ibov'
ing picture taken Of it for the use q
dealers in communities where the
chassis itself cannot be seen.
General Sales Manager Z. T. Strong
of the Buick Motor company said re-
garding this revolving chassis: "Tht
deep interest taken in this exhibit
proves that nearly every buyer IOWA
days is intelligently concerning himself
with the mechanism OF cars. He wants
style, comfort and conveniences, to b.
sure, but those things count only wher
they are mounted on an efficient
chassis. Stand around for awhile GnG
you will find that most of the pues
tions asked by those who look thi'
chassis over, are based upon a pretty
clear conception of automotive me
chanics. The development in genera
knowledge is more apparent every
year."

Detroit. Feb. 3.-One of the record

EYES OF COUNTRY ON
CHEVROLET, ASSERTS
LOCAL DISTRIBUTOR
New Model Praised by Mo-
florists Everywhere, De-
clares Roy Smith.

According to Roy Smith Of the Smith
Motor Sales Company, the most dis
cussed automobile on the market is
Chevrolet, which in less than a years
time jumped from seventh to second
place in current registrations and yet
promises still more sensational develop
ments in 1923.
This car has been on the market
about seven years." continued Mr.
Smith, but not until the fall Of 1921
was it regarded at all seriously as a
contender for leadership in the low
priced field.
AT that time a line Of new models
was brought out embodying important
engineering Improvements, high-grade
bodies on all closed models and prices
ranging from S525 for the touring cal
to 1915 for the fiye-passenger sedan
which was later reduced to $500.
The Chevrolet motor had always en-
joyed an excellent reputation and the
added improvement caused a rapid in
crease in demand that resulted in {
shortage Of supply that persisted al
during 1922 in spite of double shift!
and plant engagements
THE new models announced in Octo
Der included marked improvement in de
sign and some added equipment at N
advance in price. ..--
About this time it was announces
that new assembly plants were beini
built at Buffalo, Cincinnati and james
vile, Wis, also new body plants ad
Joining the automobile manufacturing
plants at Buffalo, Cincinnati, Flint, ST
Louis, GAINESVILLE and Oakland, thu
giving Chevrolet the largest high
grade closed car capacity in tn
world.
"Inasmuch as the demand for close
cars of all makes has of recent year
always exceeded the supply at leas
part of the year, this new Chevrole
capacity is important, because as j
well known in the trade, closed ca
business goes to the concern that cal
make the quickest delivery.
"And now comes the copper-coolet
Chevrolet, which has been discussed il
engineering and trade circles for NOR
than a year, all sorts of conflictin
rumors having circulated regarding it
existence, performance and price.
Although it is said this new motto
embodies no new scientific accomplish
ments, but merely successful applica
ton of established laboratory princt
pies, it is new to the trade and gen
eral public, and has ben the center o
interest at the New York show.
Production is to be limited, du
partly to the extensive and expensive
equipment required in the new metal
lurgical process employed for brain
the copper to cast iron, feat hilbert
considered impossible.
"The practical measure Of the remark
able prograss of Chevrolet is told b
sales figures for the last two years. i
1920, up to that time the motor indus
try's best year, Chevrolet markete,
153, 646 cars, in the bad year of 1927
sales fell to II 800 cars. In 1922 Their
was rolled up the splendid total of 243
900 sales and production schedules fo
1923 are said to be about double tn

SEES MOTOR TRUCK
AS GREATEST ALLY
TO THE RAILROADS
Day Says Time Near When
Big Fleets Will Be
Used as Feeders.

The time is not far distant when
either private concerns or the railroad
of the country will operate vast fleets
of trucks TO act as feeders for freight.
according TO Vance Day, general sales
manager of the General Motors Truck
Company Of Pontiac, Mich.
This, Mr.. Day believes, will be es-
pecially true in the Far West, where
there are towns which today are 40
or 80 miles from the nearest rail-
road.
In Eastern Colorado, people living in
the prairie lands have been able to
improve their farming methods so that
today good crops are being raised. both
by irrigating the land and by dry
farming.
The one hindrance the people have
is getting their crops TO market and
there seems to be little doubt. accord
ing to Mr.. Day, but what in the near
future whole truck fleets will be started
| to take care of this business, which
can now hardly exist for want of ade,
quate transportation facilities.
The coming of the tractor-trailer com
bination. Mr.. Day believes, has done
much toward speeding this business and
today it is possible to haul ten or fif
teen tons at time over such q
route.
The topography Of the country &
such. Mr.. Day says, that good. natura
roads can be built at low cost and 4
is extremely flat prairie land, so tha
long, heavy hauls could be made t.
the railroads at minimum expense.
| This development. which Mr.. Day
looks for in the West, will be carriet
out in the Eastern and Middle state
| after that, he believes. Today he say
there are a few individual companie
which are doing this business but the!
have not as yet developed it TO tn
point where they have the cooperation
of the railroads in every respect.
The railroads Of the country, Mr.. Da,
believes will admit that the time i
coming when the motor truck will b
their greatest ally on short haul busi
ness and act as feeders to them for tn
LONG haul.
If this is true. Mr.. Day says he can
not see any reason why the rail line
of the country will not in time realiz
that they might as we'll make the prof
on this business rs private conceri
and operate the truck and feeder line
themselves.

Although the Star and the Durant

time. there 10 a wide demand for the

An interesting feature of the 1922

the predominance Of closed cars and the
