The new Oldsmobile six cab Is at
tracing an unusually large amount Of
interest among prospective as well as
present motor car owners. The cab
is beauty and is finished inside and
outside deliberately. The construction
of the model 80 Oldsmobile six chassis
is also causing a great amount Of in
terest. Great strength is in evidence,
due largely to the deep frame with
its four stout cross members and to
the many oversize parts used through
out. Side channels have the greatest
maximum depth of five and one-half
inches and are made from one-eighth
inch thick stock. Four cross members
held in place with thickly riveted
gusset plates, tie the side channels to-
gether, making a stiff structure ex-
actly suited to resist all manner OF
road and load strains. Front springs
are 80 inches long and have six leaves.
Rear springs are 80 and three-fourtb
inches long and have seven leaves. All
leaves are two inches wide.
Since the wheel base of the Odds
mobile six 80 chassis is ITO inches and
the spring suspension totals 50 "a
inches on each side, it will be readily
seen that the six is unusually well
taken care of in this regard. Spring
eyes are phosphor bronze pushed,
shackle bolts are SIS inch diameter
all hardened and ground. Rear shackle
links incline outward at an angle of
45 degrees when under load. making
another important addition to the rid
ing comfort.
Easy steering is in this Oldsmobile
model because the steering gear is of |
the semi-irreversible, worm and gear
type. Reversed Elliott steering knuckles
are employed. Bronze bushings are
mounted above and below the bosses
the axle ends and the pin-bearing |
is fully enclosed and ]

Walter "Zim" Zimmerman, manager
of the Oldsmobile motor works at Dali

johnson Supply Company, local dis
tributor. Mr.. Zimmerman Is almost
as well known is San Antonio as he
is anywhere else. He has been with
the Oldsmobile motor works for fif-

Since currant and gooseberry

to protect the pines is to destroy all
