Retains Title for Largest
Volume Of Sales in 1881.

For the fifth consecutive time,
the Chevrolet Motor Company this
year won first place at the national
automobile shows in New York City
and Chicago.
This award, made annually by
the National Automobile Chamber
Of Commerce, goes to the member
company which does the largest
volume of business during the pre-
ceding twelve months.
The honor is sought eagerly with
in the industry, for in addition to
the distinction it brings, it also be-
slows the right to first choice of
exhibition space at the national au-
tomobile shows in the nations two
leading cities.
Chevrolet first achieved the honor
with four-cylinder car. Since then
the company consistently has main
tanned its leadership, especially
since the Chevrolet six supplanted
the four.

In addition to the voluntary in
crease in payments by the SOB
members, the fund will benefit this
year by increase in the fund tax
levy from l cent to IA cents.
The fund, under the law, is en-
titled to a tax levy of cents on
500, but the full amount never has
been collected, Trick said.
The law provides that members
may not be assessed more than SIS
a year, but the city legal depart
ment had advised fund officials
that there fs nothing to stop the
policemen from voluntarily in
creaSing their payments.
All rewards and witness fees re-
ceived by police officers are turned
over to the fund.

TIRE SOURCE SECRET
Quality of Defiance Brand
High, Dealers Declare.

Perhaps no tire has made greater
strides toward winning nation
wide popularity than the Defiance,
sold exclusively in indianapolis by
the William H. Block Company.
"If we were permitted to tell you
who makes these tires" said G. w.
Speiss, of the Block Company, you
would know quality tire man
ufacturers in the world.
Defiance is their trade name, for
tires sold through department
stores. They are exactly the same
tire, same quality of rubber, same
high grade fabric, same expert
workmanship and carry the same
iron clad guarantee as the national
ly advertised, national famous brand
of the company that makes them.
Only the name is different and the
price is much lower"

Pioneer
Peru Motor Trail
Push, Drive and Pull Car
Over Andes Path in
Four DaVS.

A remarkable automobile journey
was accomplished recently in Peru.
Two bold motorists, H. H. McIndoo
and F. Gottwald, a small car, twen-
ty-fve gallons of gasoline, four days
time, $35, and almost impossible
trails of the Andes, figure in the
achievement.
These men, engineers by profess
sion, had been engaged in the min
ing settlement of the Yauricocha,
high up in the Andes and far be-
yond the range of the average
traveller. Both were instructed by
the company that employs them to
reDOrt at Lima, the Peruvian cap
ital.
One Of the men owned an auto
mobile, and they reasoned in sub
stance: Why not go to Lima by
motor car? No one ever had COW
cred the 300-mile distance by this
means. True, there was no con-
nected highway. However, the two
agreed to attempt the feat.
Early on Nov. 2 last, they drove
out Of Yauricocha, following a good
road for twenty-five miles. They
reached Tarma late in the after
noon, 135 miles from the starting
point. From this town a fair high
way was followed to Junin, thirty
one miles.
Leaving Junin, the difficult part
OF the journey lay before them.
They had to use trail instead of
a road in climbing the western
range of the Andes. The trail,
which led via La Viuda, at an alti-
tude Of 10000 feet, was up grades
ranging from 20 to 40 per cent.
Here the motorists employed ten
natives as helpers. Finally, the car
was pulled and pushed into Yam
tao, whose small population had
seen only two automobiles and
none for two years.
'The views in the region of La
Viuda were beautiful, but the cold
and snow were too great to en-
courage prolonged rhapsody" re-
ported the travellers. Proceeding
slowly on the downward trail, they
reached Canta in the afternoon of
the fourth day. and from there the
run to Lima was made over a good
road in few hours.
Thus, another impossible" motor
journey is recorded. And it is Of
interest to relate that no tire trou-
bles occurred; that only a spring
on the car was broken, and that the
two motorists experienced kindness
and assistance from natives all
along the route. Much of the trail
section of this route, is included in
Peru'S highway construction pro-
gram.

QUICK SUCCESS
FORESEEN FOR
new ROCKNE 6
Features of CoStIier Cars
Embodied in Nine Models
at $500 to $500.

Few new cars have been offered
to the public with so many factors
that augur for quick success as the
new Rockne Six, its sponsors de-
clared today at the Indianapolis
Automobile show, where it is being
exhibited.
The fundamental principle of the
Rockne Six is the introduction Of
quality in the low price field. The
car includes features, it is claimed,
that are unavailable in competitive
automobiles, or can be had only at
additional cost.
1--WE know that no other automo-
bile at anywhere near the price of
the Rockne Six has been so gener-
ously endowed with beauty, roomin
ness, performance and mechanical
perfection" said George M. Graham,
e-president in charge of sales.
"The cars at the show SuhStantiate
our claims beyond all doubt. We
are confident the American motor
ist will make revision of his ideas

Rises Above Price Glass
1.-THE Rockne Six enters a highly
competitive field. Our product must
have distinct advantage over its
competition if it is to be a sue
cess. We have abundantly supplied
these advantages.
'Not only will this car represent
value triumph over its price class
but it will offer the motorist prac-
tically every feature found in cars
priced around $1,000. Thus, the de-
pression-hit owner, who has $1,000
price class demands, but a purse
that is somewhat depleted, will find
nearly everything he wants in line
