Now see the only low- w-priced car aoiM In
dioidual Wheel Springing-PLUS the
three other features that are vltal to real
car ualue todayl
Plymouth is the world s lowest priced
car with Individual Front Wheel
Springing. This feature is on all models
-even the lowest-priced.
And note this: Plymouth's s individual
springing is the strongest and simplest
type known. It's the same kind as that

used on much higher priced cars!
There are no bumps when you ride in
Plymouth. No jolts-no jounces-no
back-seat bucking. You get an even ride
over the roughest road.
And you pay no price penalty to getW
Some models are $40 lower F. 0. b.
than any other car with this feature.
A Complete Ride Story
But Plymouth gives you more than one
feature to insure smooth, easy riding.
Evening star., 1934-01-28

Every Plymouth has patented Floating
Power engine mountings to put an end
to engine vibration.
These mountings are much more than
Just pieces of rubber under the engine.
They suspend the motor in balance
letting it absorb it's own vibration.
You can rest and relax-because with
both Floating Power and Individual
Springing, Plymouth gives you the
smoothest ride in the low-price field.
Give a Thought to SAFETY
Everyone wants protection-so look at
Plymouth's brakes-and Plymouth's
safety-steel body.
You're safer in a Plymouth-because
you ride with steel under you and
around you. Plymouth bodies are
built of steel reinforced ,OiM steel-then
welded into one permanent piece.
That means real protection. 1t means
no joints to rot, pull loose or squeak. 1t
means longer life with less need for
Service" because of body troubles.
And the brakes. They're aNhydraulic.
Evening star., 1934-01-28

No bolts, rods, ,cotter pins. Sure, smooth,
equal action on all four wheels-because
hydraulic brakes are self-equalizing.
Biggest in Size-More Power
Naturally you want the biggest car for
your money. Plymouth is that-for the
Deluxe plymouth with 114-inch wheel
base is the biggest low- priced car built.
But the important thing is-Plym-
outh is the onlylow-priced car thatgives
you all of these important features.
In fact-no other low-priced car offers
you more than one of them.
Go into all these points at your first
opportunity. Ask any Dodge, De Soto
or Chrysler dealer to prove that Plym-
outh is the best engineered car in the
low-price field. Take a ride in it today!

PEOPLE OUTSIDE
VILLAGE HAVENO
FIRE PROTECTION
Nothing Came of Negotiations
between Citizens Commit

FIREMEN MUST STAY HERE

The disastrous fire in the
country near Chapel Hill early
Sunday morning brings to mind
again the lack of fire protection
for homes on the fringes of the
Village
The house that was burned
Sunday was too far out to be
considered part of the commun-
ity, bat there are many homes
which, though beyOng the cor
porate i'm s, are usually
thought of as being in Chapel
Hill. For example, those in the
settlements of the Smith, ada
cent to the PittsbOro-Pinehurst
highway. There is no provision
for fighting a fire out there, for
the Chapel Hill fire company is
forbidden to take its apparatus
out Of town.
No water supply for fire
fighting is available in that sec
ton, so that even if the men did

little good

fight it, Many onlookers said
that prompt use Of chemical eX-

western edge of the village, on
the road that turns off to the
