equipped with the Oldsmobile au-
tomatic safety transmission. This
transmission also contributes i'm
portantly to both driving ease and
operating economy, the latter re-
sulting from a fourth gear direct
drive which reduces the number Of
motor revolutions and improves
fuel economy by 18 to 20 per cent.
Operating is extremely simple.
Control is by a short lever on the
steering column. There are four
positions for the control lever: Neu-

IMPROVEMENTS
FEATURE NEW
BUICK AUTOS

-Four outstanding engineering de-
Velopments, with major improve
ments both IN style and mechanical
design, feature the new Buick 1898
cars publicly announced by Jno. R.
Robertson in El Centre.
The new cars have one of the
most important engine developments
of theNpast 10 years by which power
has been substantially increased and
gasoline economy bettered without
increasing the bore and stroke or
otherwise changing the size OF the
engine.
At the same time, startling new
rear suspension, as revolutionary in
its advantages as knee action and
involving the use of coil springs
on the rear wheels, has given new
riding and steering qualities 10 the
cars.
A new method of body mounting,
by which body bolts are located in
quiet zones, or zones of least yibra-
ton on the frame, likewise contri-
butes to the riding comfort.
A fourth major improvement,
which will be optional at extra cost
on the Series 40 Buick cars, is the
new Substituting transmission which
automatically shifts gears.
The new Buick cars will be offer
ed in four series for 1933-the Series
40 Special, in the lower medium
price field, the Series so Century
and the Series so Roadmaster in
the medium price field ana the Sc
ries 80 Limited, a deluxe car offered
in limousine and touring sedan
types, in the upper medium price
class. They are produced in to-
tai OF q body types.
Prices, according to the Buick
management, are lower than origin
ally anticipated, with increases over
1887 prices ranging from less than
one per cent to a maximum of Al
per cent for all closed car types.
In styling, the new cars hit a new
high in the popular Buick stream
line motif which has established a
style precedent in the industry. New
die-cast radiator grilles are in two
sections with the color line of the
hood carried down through the GEN.
ter, surmounted by the Buick crest.
Long bullet-shaped headlamps are
faired into the radiator shell.
The rears of the new Bucks like
wise are completely restyled, the
gas tank filler cap this year having
been placed under the left rear
fender completely smoothing up the
rear end. Access is through small
door in the fender. An unusual ar
rangement of tail lights, license il
Elimination and stop light is used
on all sedans and convertible phae-
tons.
Buick bodies on all four lines are
Fisher unisteel turret top and are
equipped with Fisher no-draft ven
tilation, outstanding comfort and
safety features. All bodies are in
sulated against heat, cold and noise
as well as against fumes and odors.
Interiors of the new cars are
exceptionally attractive and are
completely redesigned throughout.
The new instrument panel has a
center section recessed to take the
radio grille, with control knobs just
below.

Never before have designers paid
such close attention to details in
a new model as they have in the
1888 Studebaker. it is claimed. A
band of chromium has supplanted
the conventional painted body stripe.
License plate brackets have been
moved from the fender to the CEN
ter of the luggage compartment.
No trunk lid hinges disrupt the
smooth flowing lines and bumpers
and bumper guards are designed to
be part of the ensemble. The new
instrument panels are simple and
beautiful. The instruments are pro-
tected by a composition known as
Lucite from which non-breakable
eyeglasses have been made. The
dash has no protruding knobs which
adds to its beauty and is a safety
feature.
As in 1887, the Fran motor clean
er is standard equipment on all
models. The Fran cleaner ends
forever the 10O0-mile oil change.
Again in 1898 the automatic hill
holder is included as standard equip
ment on the Commander and the
President. The hill holder is an
integral. part of the Lockheed hy-
draulic system and ends the back
ward roll while starting on hills.

To Ed Schiller of Arden Farms
credit is due for the Kandee bars;
to Bill Clements of Clements Drug
store for the ice cream cones, the
ice cream for which was manufac-
tured in his own plant: to Herb
Fawcett of the Coca Cola Bottling
works for the Coca Cola and to
the Imperial Ice and Development
Co. for the cold bottled Barbara
Worth and Triple A water. w. A.

The water proved godsend both
at the park and at the Post-Press
office. The big truck filled with
ice cold water was almost hidden
from sight by the warns of thirsty
youngsters. Water for the pets was
also supplied.
To the El Centre police depart
ment acknowledgment is due for
the smooth handling of the parade,
the entire line of march being su-
pervised by Chief Oswalt and his
men. A motorcycle escort cleared
the way and all side streets were
guarded.
The number of entries was even
larger than the Post-Press anti
cipatei and to the regret of the
firm some children failed to get
ice cream as the supply ran out
Attempts were made to see that
they got two of the other refresh
ments to compensate.
Finally acknowledgment must
be made to the city officials for
their cooperation, and to the city
street department which saw that
the streets along the line of march
were cleaned Immediately after the
