vehicles.
Total Chevrolet Sales for the first
eight months of this year amount to
the huge volume Of 316,906 cars and
trucks, nearly a third of q million,
b. the end of the year, cars and
trucks sold will approximate a half
million
TO the man in the street, the fact
that he sees many Chevrolets in
operation. conveys little idea OF the
tremendous manufacturing facilities
and huge financial resources neces-
sary to achieve the pro ,uction which
supplies the enormous demand for
this popular Car.
Truly, the increase Of Chevrolet
owners has been remarkable. But
not less remarkable is the growth OF
Chevrolet factories and their equip
ment necessary to produce Quality
Cars at Quantity Prices"
The amount of capital necessary
to finance such an undertaking as
this is staggering and only an Organi-
cation hacked by the financial
strength of the General Motors Cor
poration could make such rapid
strides as this in so short aNtime.
These facts and figures give some
idea Of what Is back of Chevrolet.

Let's Have Serviterias

Let's Have Serviterias
1t was practical psychologist
who discovered that If a restaurant
man could strip hrs establishment
of all the frills and overhead, get
right down to business, offer good
food and quick service at low prices
the public would go out to more
sire to patroniZe the best eating
places. Hence the cafeteria. And
hence the following suggestion:
Thousands of cars go about the
streets falling apart rapidly simply
because the average car owner is
reluctant to send his car to the re-
pair shop or service station, until he
has no other choice.
The average car owner knows the
service stations have a heavy over
head. and there is something about
the frills-the idea of blowing him.
self to big spread of repair work
that helps to keep him away. And
So
When some enterprising repairer
hits ON the idea of practical
"serviteria" where good repair work
can be had promptly the average
car owner is going to be an en-
thusiastic customer. He'll do a lit
tie of the work himself helping the
mechanics as he goes.
It won't be royal spread Of SER
vice, but a lot of ailments will be re-
moved and the car will be a lot bet
ter off for it.
Acquiring the habit of having
things attended to when they should
be the car owner will rapidly grow
to appreciate the Importance of hav-
ing a square meal of service now and
again at the more complete shops.
Purely q case of getting the right
results from pulling the right
psychological wires.

Is Your Horn Safe?


No motorist Is any safer than his
horn. If it doesn't blow when he
needs it most he is as helpless as
though his brakes failed him. A
short circuit in the horn wiring. OF
course, may take the driver I'M
aWareS, though he can largely
obviate the danger ofethis possibility
by always sounding his horn before
there is real urgent need to do so.
His early attempt to warn the
pedestrian or the motorist furnishes
lin a margin of safety which he can
make use of with his brakes.
The unsafe horn. however, is the
kind that does not respond promptly
TO the touch of the button. and it's
failure in this connection is invari-
ably due to need for a Slight adjust
ment that can be attended to in five
minutes time. When the horn does
not respond the instant it is needed
the remedy is to turn the adjusting
screw up so that the motor shaft
presses tighter against the horn
diaphragm. Otherwise the motor has
to spin over awhile before it gets
up speed enough to press against the
diaphragm and produce sound. 1t is
in this interval that all the trouble
brews.
1t is important when making the
adjustment to set the adjusting
screw with the lock nut otherwise
the horn will be likely to fail at the
very time when it is needed most.
Also if the motor shaft is pressed too
tightly against the diaphragm the
horn may stick" until it is Jared
into a new position or forced to
change its position when the bat
tery's strength raises. This is not
likely TO happen if the tone of the
norm is not adjusted too shrill.
