Out of a grand total of Chev-( roieta ouiH during toe past 12 months, the Pacific Coast motor ists ulone purchased over 6U,U(IU. It is aiKUllicanl of the wealth and prosperity of the far west, when the people of this great territory are nuuucially able to buy one tontn of the total number of au tomobiles contributed to the en tire world by such s vast organi zation. Chevrolet's achievement Is" a record for the automobile Industry as a whole, for the Viib figures have been never before been ap proached by any manufacturer of selective transmission automo biles. Tls murk tops the cm puny 's own previous record by i0,00 cars. Some idea of the enormity of this production may be gained lrora the following statistical Illu strations. If the 600.000 Chevrolets built this year were lined up on a trans continental highway with 17 feet of space from bumper to bumper, they would rnuke a solid line be tween ban f'runclsco and New York.

The announcement, made last week, declared that the new low orices would be made Dubllc on January 7th but that they would apply retroactively on all retail sales made after midnight Decem ber 15th. Completion of a $10,000,000 ex pansion program Including new buildings aud equipment of great magnitude, were cited as the rea sons that made the reductions pos sible, even though Improvements are beltig made constantly In the quality of Dodge Brothers product.

Puld attendance at football games held at colleges, Junior col leges, normal and high schools throughout the land lust autumn Is estimated at 2,500.000. Ail of this vast throng could' be trans- quandary, as It would not seem consistent to the public If one man ufacturer were able to make a big reduction and others simultaneous ly announce they were forced to increase.

Chevrolet s present production figure is higher than the number of cars built by all companies in the first 20 years of the Industry. '. In anticipation of another rec-ord-breuklng year In 1926, the Chevrolet Motor Company has , greatly extended Its fluid organl- . tish ciude rubber restriction. Msuy of them believe that the Increases will be aueh aa to wipe out any benefit the public la to gala fiom the two per cent Federal excise tax reduction ratified by Congress. "L'p to now the tires put on new cars by the makers have been bought on the basis of crude rub ber prices that prevailed months ago, when the crude rubber rale was as low as 26 cents a pound, tjlnce that time, owing to the limi tation placed on export by the Bri tish government prices have risen by leaps and bounds. They rauge from 11.00 to 11.10 per pound. . "This makes It cost the tire makers from 18.00 to 112.00 more to I reduce each tire In various sizes. The consequence is that the automobile makers In the medium price field will have to pay .the tire makers from $35.00 to IGO.ou more than they have been doing this year to equip every car they turn out. This added expense must naturally be taken into considera tion In estimating retail prices and It will be up to buyers of new cars to dig down for an extra amount how much has not' been determined yet. "The price relief to be gain ed from last week's two per cent tax reduction on a $1,500 car on which the tax has up to now been $60, will amount to approximately $22, while the very minimum add ed cost under the new tire price schedule approximates $38 accord ing to calculation. - "The factory purchasing agents can see no way out of It; neither can the tire makers." .

Fords Fordsons Lincolns Protect the nerve centers of your car the electrical equipment just as you would protect your own nerves. When the nerve centers ol your car get out of kilter, go to nn electrical specialist just na you would to a nerve specialist if your own nerves run down. So advines the V. It. Drown Au tomotive. Electric Service, Author ized Electrical Sen-ice Station of United Motors Service in this city. "It la on the electrical equipment that the motorist depend for the HtartliiK, livhtiiig and .guidon of his car. He is so used to Its con sistent and reliable performance that he is often inclined to forget those sensitive nerve centers. 'No matter how perfect the de sign and workmanship of the Heel deal equipment, it cannot con tinuously be expect (I to give a good account of itself uulens It is kept in first-class condition through systematic inspection, adjustment nnd the use of Ken ui tie parts when replaceinen Is tweome necessa ry. "The average layman motorist regards the electrical apparatus ol his car as something of a mystery. He does not wish to tinker with it. And .Then it gets out of order he wants It repaired in a hurry -that is why he often takes it to the nearest Kara go or service station. This service station may be out of the required parts, or it may use spurious parts. The spurious or imitation parts may work for a time but In the long run It will un set the delicately balanced working of the electrical system. "One of tho best features of au thorized factory service stations for electrical equipment is the fact that the expert mechanics in these service stations have complete and specially designed testing appara tus available for locating the trou ble aud for testing the repairs. This equipment, coupled with the u of the factory testing specifications, enables the mechanics to quickly diagnose the trouble and promptly and permanently correct it, whtn service Is ueeded. Moreover, gen uine parts are -0 d exclusively by these authoiixed factory service stations. In this way, the nerve centers of the car are assured pro tect loo. IUv you tvtr bee a th vie Urn of imitation parts used In the repair of the electrical system on your car? " Before going too deeply into this so-called "pliates" parts evil, it must Le recognized that even tq day there are many motorists who do not understand the meaning or significance, of the term "pirate part" or "imitation part." In general, the' original parts manufacturers are the ones who make the complete electrical equip ment used on your car. Their re gulation depends entirely upon the service you obtain from that equip ment. The Imitation or "pirate" parts manufaturer Is one who at tempts to imitate certain common ly used parts of the original parts manufacturer's equipment. He is wholly Interested in large profits w-ithnut responsibility. Has no re putation to uphold, in that he did !not design the complete equipment. iHis entire attention is concentrated upon keeping his manufacturing cost at the lowest possible figure so that he In turn can offer these spurious parts to the trade at a very low price. This imitation parts manufacturer has compara tively little regard for quality. Often the car owner purchases limitation parts quite innocently j simply because he has not taken the pains to inquire as to the kind of parts the sen-ice station plans to use. If car owners would only exer cise the same caution securing service for their cur (insisting on the use of genuine parts) as they do when eating mushrooms Instead of toadstools, there would be far less trouble for Mr. Motorist in the daily operation of his car.
