AIR A DECLARED
SAFE FOR VALUABLES

WASHINGTON. Jan. 5.-lPl-Post
office department records show the
air mail Is comparatively as safe a
medium for shipping valuable papers
as other means Of transportation.
"The loss OF 1907 sacks Of mail
in the sinking Of the Nestris alone
constituted a greater loss than the
air mail has experienced during the
10 years of its existence" W. Irving
Glover. second assistant postmaster
general, says in reviewing the rec
ords.
Fire in a railraod car just outside
New York this year destroyed more
mail than has been lost during the
entire operations of the air mail.
Records show that for the 10 a
of the air mails operation. 1,62i.S65
pounds Of mail were carried with a
loss or only 1885 pounds. The per-
centage Of air mail lost in transit
is .0O06i.

NEW MODELS
Being SHOWN
Chevrolet Entering
Eastern Salons
During Month

DETROIT, Mich, Jan. 5.-Nhcn
the New York Automobile Show OPP
ems next week. with more than IS
domestic manufacturers exhibiting
their 1929 models, Chevrolet Motor
company will again be awarded first
place at the show. This award car
ries with Ii the honor position In
the exhibit, an award coveted by all
manufacturers because Of its allot-
ment on a strict merit basis.
Each year the National Automo-
bile Chamber Of Commerce which
sponsors both the New York and
Chicago automobile shows makes the
award. And each year the standard
Of computation has been the same.
Manufactures are ranged strictly on
the amount OF business transacted
during the fiscal year ending the
August prior to the time the showing
IS held. The first place award APP
plies for both the New York and
Chicago shows.
Chevrolet's choice once more for
this signal honor serves to empha-
size the position or leadership the
company has assumed during recent
years. 1t also serves TO open aupi-
ciously n year which, W. S. Knudsen,
president and general manager Of
the company, has predicted will see
the company surprising all of its
former sales and production records.
The new line Of skies which Chev-
rolet will display AZ the show this
year has already been viewed at ad-
vance showinEs throughout the coun-
try by millions of people. Since the
mid-November announcement of the
new line, C~hevrolet's vast productive
facilities have been rapidly getting
underway at all the Chevrolet as
sembly plants, so that within n few
weeks Chevrolet will be running
close 10 full capacity.
The first Of the deliveries or the
new care are scheduled TO take place
throughout the country Immediately
after Jan. LIST. Already the 10000
Chevrolet dealers who comprise
CheTrolet's great retailing chain in
this country, have been supplied
with models Of the new line
Today is also important in Chew
rolet's calendar because IL marks
the date set by company heads for
a grand national showing Of the 1929
models in all dealers show rooms in
the Unietd States.

STYLE
AUTO ASSET
' Design Gives
Decid-
ed Personality

Style and comfort are the +-vo
tmost desirable features in an auto
tnobile body from the buyers point
Of view, say Fisher designers in
pointing to their recent achievement
Of combining both style and comfort
in the Silver Anniversary Buick.
without style a motor car is de-
prived Of all personality: IL can
make no appeal TO the buyers mag
nation And as to the second requi-
site, they say nothing less than the
maximum Of comfort satisfies shc
exaeting motor car purchaser of to-
day.
In providing the Silver Anniver-
sary Buick with q distinct style pa
sonality Fisher designers believe
they have anticipated the prevailing
srend in body design by III least two
years. And the enthusiastic reccp-
tion which discriminating buyers
everywhere have accorded these cars
lends the weight Of authority 10
their belief. That Buick bodies have
broken away from conyeationalizei
ideas and attained an individual per-
fonality shared by no other motor
ear, becomes increasingly apparent.
In the Ease Of Buick bodies, Fisher
say, the tremendous NlhI4l
appeal eXerted by the exterior de-
sign has been coupled with a degree
OF interior comfort and luxury trans
%cending all previous high standards
Of body manufacture. Roominass,
without which there can be no COM
fort. is apparent from the first. The
single seated coupe will afford three
adult passengers a degree Of roomi-
hess hitherto unknown in bodies If
Nhis type. This generous roominess
Us equally apparent in the five ana
seven-passenger sedans which are
noted for accommodating a full com
plenent OF passengers without y
a suggestion Of crowding or sdueez-
Eng. The amount Of leg room and
head room in Silver Anniversary
Buick bodies is truly remarkable
Ard<his roominess has been obtain
cTNithout the loss Of a single de-
eiraoie feature.
This result is achieved because
Fisher has taken full advantage OF
the fact that an engineering feature
built into the Buick chassis. permits
fhe body TO be two inches wider.
The increased cubical content cf
