WILLARD FIRM
LISTS SHIFTS
IN PERSONNEL
C. H. Gibney Is Advanced
From Controller to
Secretary.

According to N. G. Wolf, district
manager for willard in this section,
several important changes in execu-
tive personnel have just been an
nounced by the Willard Storage
Battery Company of Cleveland. c.
H. Gibney, who has been office
controller and assistant treasurer
for number OF years, has been
elected vice president and secretary.
Harry c.. English, who came to
the Willard credit department in
1918, succeeds Mr.. Gibney as assist
ant treasurer. Mr.. English has made
several advancements during his
fifteen years with Willard, being
appointed cashier in 1920 and credit
manager in 1923. He will continue
supervision Of the credit department
in his new capacity.
Harley A. Gardner has been re-
called from South Africa, where he
has been doing special work for
Willard, to become assistant credit
manager. Mr.. Gardner has been
with Willard since 1927, when he
was made office manager of the
Cleveland branch. He spent several
years in the sales department as a
business counsellor, and in 1881 was
transferred to the Willard credit de-
partment in California.

The appointment of Sholty Mo-
tor Company, Inc, 5436 East
Washington street, as a new
Chevrolet dealer for the east end
is announced by E. w. Berger,
manager of the indianapolis zone
of the Chevrolet Motor Company
This new leadership is headed
by o. Verne Sholty, who has been
actively identified with the local
automobile field since 1920, when
he joined Steinhart Cadillac Sales
Company. In 1922 he joined the
Carr Automobile Sales Company,
where he remained until 1929,
when he formed his own company
known as Sholty Motors, Inc, at
the same address as the company
now occupies.
A modern service department, a
department with a full line of
Chevrolet parts and remodeled
showroom with a complete line of
new cars on display, feature the
new leadership.

to keep pace However, on hills and
steep inclines it was an entirely
different story, with the small
sprocket bikes setting the pace.
Thus, low on dual ratio steps up
the speed of the motor thereby in
creasing the power, but cuts down
on the road speed of the car pro-
portionately.
The most impressive thing to me
about this feature is the surprising
high speed one can travel at in high
ratio without realizing it. For in
stance, at fifty and sixty miles an
hour, the sound of the motor leads
one to believe that the Speedometer
read'Sg should be in the neighbour
hood of thirty or thirty-f1ve miles
an hour.
Moreover, 1t is claimed by the en-
gineers who conceived this idea that
dual ratio not only saves wear and
tear on the motor, but also reduces
fuel consumption considerably
which in itself is a big item.

PONTIAC SALES
CAIN is HEAVY
Volume Increases IS Per

Months.

Pontiac retail sales for the present
year through October have exceeded
by IS 1853 cars the deliveries recorded
through the same ten months of
1882, according to word received by
o. F. Wampler, Indianapolis zone
manager from A. w. l.. Gilpin,
general sales manager for the Pom

During the last ten-day period CT
October sales were SO per cent
greater than for the same period of
October last year, while the total
sales for October this year were Ill
per cent greater than for the same
month in 1892
The total sales for the year
through October represent an in
crease of IS per cent as compared
with the same period last year.
Pontiac, the largest selling
straight eight in the world, gained
fourth position honor at the forth
coming national automobile shows
to be held at New York and Chi

Old ideas that gravity, fire and

Judging good motor oils have been
cast aside and in their place is
definite knowledge that Satisfac-
tory cold weather service depends
largely on three things:
Proper viscosity or body, neither
too thick or too thin.
AS little change in body as pos
sible with changes of temperature.
Free pouring at low temperatures.
This is the view expressed re-
Gently in a Science Service radio
address by DR.. Robert E. Wilson,
president in charge of research
and development, Standard Oil
Company Gndiana).
The tendency on the part Of mo-
florists to use heavier oils than
officially recommended is con-
demned by DR.. Wilson. Any small
saving it may effect in consump-
ton cost is more than offset by
greater starting difficulties and
waste of gasoline due to higher
friction loss in the engine.
The oil which thickens up the
least at low temperatures or thinS
out the least at high temperatures
is the one best adapted to operat-
ing over a wide range as in an
