CHEVROLET DEALERS Oak and Pine E I Firms and Individual with business requirements necessitat ing the use of delivery units in general are now facing a situation in the matter of motor license fees certain to receivn serious atten t'.on when pun-base of truck equipment comes up for consider ation, alleged C. A. Lockwood, Koaeburg Ford dealer. Taxation rates on commercial vehicles in the various states show a growing tendency to im pose extremely high fen on heavy trucks with the result that the firm that can adapt Its hauling to the use of lighter vehicles gains One employe In every six in the motor assembly plant of the Chev rolet Motor company plant at Flint Mich., does nothing but check the rigid standards, required in the motor parts and the accuracy with which they are fitted, said Marsh local dealer. There are 2,776 employes in the motor plant. Of t beau, 4ti3 are in spectors who demand a precision too minute for detection by the un aided eye. 1 i-fore the engine block starts down one of the assembly lines it Is given a triple inspection for pos sible Irregularities or defects, each inspector checking his predeces- a big margin on a competitor us- lor.

Aside from the flexibility and proven econ nomy or small units which in creatw the range of delivery ser vice, the difference in license fees is great enough to become a con sideration alone. For instance, figures as of Jan. 1, this year, in the twenty-eight states In which 'the tax charge of commercial vehicles Is based on tons capacity the average license pees are as follows: 1- ton trucks, $16.55. 2- ton trucks, $33.15. 4-ton trucks, lion. fill. 6-ton trucks. $171.55. Figures from individual states are most interesting. In Alnbama the man who operates a five-ton jj.aotj revolutions per minute truck is required to pay a license fee of $400 annually, while bis competitor, who tinea, for In stance, euch trucks as the Ford, not only securun his equipment at low initial investment, but is tax ed only $15 a year on each unit. This forces the owner of the heavy truck, whom equipment is looked upon as causing the great est wear and tear on paving, to operate under disadvantages.

As the motor is built up, all parts and fittings are subjected to constant examination and re-examination, l'recision is law. For Instance, the fit of piston pins into the piston must be so exact that the pin may be pushed into the pis ton hole by the mechanic's thumb but will not fall out of its own weight. The clearance at this point is about one-twentieth of the diameter of the finest human hair. This is called a "push in" fit. After being built up, the motor Ik "run in" bv electric motors at for the in about two hours to work bearings and piston rings. Tho motor is then "taken down" for inspection of the bearings, cylinder walls and all moving parts. When it passes the inspec tors. It is reassembled and oper ated under Its own power while experts listen for any possible noise, their methods being compar able to a doctor's use of a stethos cope.

The upjier corners of the back have a ball end. This rounded smoothness fits in with the radiator and hood design. "A final touch of artistry Is given to the design by a belt molding, heretofore only "employ ed in the design of the nation's most beautiful custom-built motor cars. "The new Jewett chassis, an nounced only this January, prov ed the previous year by winning many hill-climbs that it is built for superior performance, a long life and trouble-free service.

Another new national highway has been opened, spanning the j United States from the Great Lakes jto the Gulf the Magnolia Route, said h,arl liurr, of W. A.
