big Car Standards Of Luxury.
Style and Performance ;f $745

AODAY new type of low cost
motoring luxury is available. 1t embraces
big car style. 1t provides big car riding
comfort. 1t embodies big car quality in
unseen parts. Itincludes big car perform
ance even to the point of developing big
car power and travelling at big car speed.
1t is offered by brand new automobile
the New Pontiac Big Six.
The Pontiac Big Six represents more
than new assembly of gears and gadgets.
Of course, some people delight in speci-
fcations. Pontiac 5 new specifications will
open their eyes. But these specifications
are only fraction of what the Pontiac
Big Six brings into the picture. They fail
to hint at the luxury, the beauty and the
pride of ownership upon which Pontiac
appeal to the American public is based.
Frankly, the New Pontiac Big Six
was designed to appeal to a certain group.
True, every motor car owner i'm America
will find in it many things to admire.
Imperial Valley press., 1929-02-04

Two-car families will find it an ideal second
car. But the group for which it is primarily
intended is made up Of people who arc
beginning to move up in the world Their
wants are enlarging. Their ideas of beauty
and luxury are growing. Many of them
will soon make the first important step up
in the quality of their cars. The New Pom
tiac Big Six was designed for them.
These up-and-coming Americans
are continually on the lookout for new,
more arresting style. The Pontiac Big Six
comes to them entirely new in appearance.
Stunning new bodies by Fisher contribute
to the big car beauty and big car style pre-
sented by the car as whole.
Progressive people arc seeking
greater luxury. The Pontiac Big Six offers
them the luxury the deep, richly
upholstered cushions and The charming
appointments for which bodies by Fisher
are famous the world over. II provides

Its new brakes are of the internal expand
ing four-whecl type which neither mud nor
rain nor ice can prevent from operating
efficiently.
AS for it's performance, you can drive
it at express train speed. You can watch it
accelerate alongside the finest cars on the
road. You can test its power under any
conditions, confident of its ability to pull
through. Meanwhile it continues to pro-
vide that unmatched dcpendabIity for
which every Pontiac since the first one has
been famed.
Only few high lights in its CON-
sfruction have been mentioned. Just
enough to prove that the Pontiac Big Six is
entirely new and capable of meeting pro-
grcssivc Americans demand But the
amusing thing about it is that it gives so

APPRAISAL QUESTIONED
 AT CITY COURT HEARING
Lawyers Engage in Heated ArGu- ment Over Valuation of Park Street Property

After hearing evidence in the pCtI- ton of Attorneys Andrew $. Aharon- ian and Francis E. Keeler for the re-opcning of the case of Sultana Najarian vs. D. Shimanski and Sam uel Greenberg, Judge stanley l. Traceshi, in city court yesterday afternoon reserved decision. The petitioners offered evidence in two hour session asking for the appoint ment of new appraisers of fore closure of Park street property.
 The appraisers appointed in the foreclosure action were George Riley, Bernard Miller and Constable Fred Wrinkle. The first two had an interest in the case and made the!r appraisal so high that the plaintiff could not ask fora deficiency jud.s- ment in court, Attorney Aharonian declared during the trial. The de- fendant's attorneys, Alderman and Judge Frederick B. Hungertord sad the appraisers were acting honestly and 10 the best of their ability. Constable Wrinkles appraisal was l. much lower than the other two and he was not under the fire of Attorneys Aharonian and Keeler. Many of the statements made by at torneys were objected to and at times the disputes became fiery.
 Riley and Miller were put on the stand and they denied that any friendship with Greenberg or Shi- manski had prompted their action.

I Can.' Mir. Woods replied, but Judge Sake interrupted to say he did not approve of the practice of put ting the prosecuting attorney on the
 witness stand.
 T don't think that practice ought to be enCouraged,' the court Said and Attorney Casale, while he did
 not press the point, remarked that the case was an unusual one and
 Mir. Woods had been quoted in newspaper as having said the police court would decide whether or not there was cause for arrest

 barrassing." Judge Saxe replied.

 tificd that the boy has been in his employ since leaving high school. and has never been in trouble be- fore.
 Mr. Woods, summing up for the
 state. contcnded that the bows

 upheld. Officer Muszynski did his
 duty and if the police who arc sworn to enforce law and order are to be
 intimidated and hampercd by

 CaSalc Sees UItcrior Motive Attorney Casalc declared, in his reply, that MF. Woods had put his finger directly on the reason for the prosecution. It was not for the pur- pose of enforcing the law. he de- Clared, but rather for the sole pur- pose Of vindicating Officer Muszyn- ski and upholding him even though he was in the wrong. Always it is the same cry, he said, to uphold the police. "Whcre are we? In some foreign land?", he demanded and he 1 harked back 10 the days of the per secutions in Rome, which caused Judge SaXe 10 observe that he was
 going back a long way" and Prosecuting Attorney Woods recalled
 that it was in Rome that Nero tid- dled during the big fire. Attorney Casale pointed out that BeUini and Mancini had not com-
 lnitted q breach of the peace up to the time Officer Muszynski laid
 hands on the latter, and as to the profanity which they were alleged 1 to have employed. he did not believe they were the kind of boys who would resort to such language. The state of Connecticut was stopping quite low. Attorney Casale said l when it would insist on convictions against two boys Of good standing on such q charge simply to uphold d i policeman. and addressing the court, l the attorney said he meant no dis i respect when he said it would not 1 be fair to make q conviction

weeks. With such q background, one
cannot be blamed for reserving opinion
on Campolo until he proves himself
against q stiff puncher.
Fugazy Is planning big things for the
fighter. On September IL the Argen-
tinian is booked to fight Phil Scott, the
English heavyweight champion. In
the event of victory, Campolo will be
asked to fight either Jim Maloney or
Max Schmeling. The latter is due back
in this country early in october, and
his offer to fight Sthe winner of the
Scott Campolo contest. If Schmeline
continues to ignore the order of the
local boxing commission by refusing the
fight for FugaZy, Maloney Will be pressed
into service.
Has Plenty Of Places.
The Argentine's promoter has Havana
and st. Augustine, Fla. in mind for two
showings with Campolo. He wants to
branch out as an all-the-year- around
promoter, and SO Is negotiating in addi-
ton for the big auditorium at Atlantic
City.
This Is not the first time that Fugazy
has sought to corral a heavyweight,
and thereby break into successful pro-
motion Of major contests. In 1926 he
tied I'D with Paddy Mullins, then man
ager of Harry Wills, and appointed
Paddy's right-hand man. Lew Ray
mond, his matchmaker. This combina-
ton effected the Harry Wilis-Jack
Sharkey contest. which Wills lost on a
foul in 10 rounds.
The following year FugaZy had some
sort Of an agreement with Renato Gar
DIM, the Italian wrestler. and this saw
the advent of Arthur Dekuh as posi-
BILE contender for the heavyweight title.
But Dekuh fell by the wayside and
Fugazy's plans went awry.
