Spring Care Of
Cars Urged By
Chrysler Firm
At thin time when Hportlns pngCH
tire cnrrylnK Htorlen iihnut lmsohall.
when trolf bmn nre nrouslnu friend
wife's ire by break lnf window
luineit nnd chHndellei'H In indoor
prnetlce, nnd anplera are looking
over roflH, flips ami other flshlnp
tackle, the Hpttsoa Iiuh arrived. In
thn opinion of the i'hrylr Coi
porathm'H Korvlce department, when
a ntPHHiiKe of friendly uounHOl
tt It on Id 1e broadcast to antomohtle
owners about tho spring care of
their earn. t ,
T)pvoteeH of Hport take ialns to
veconrfltlon their koIC clubs, tennlB
rackets nnd other paraphernalia
that have boon laid it way In dark
closets through the winter, ob
serves J, L. Kenyon, director of
Chrysler service. In the April is
sue of the "Chrysler News." Jlut
how many ntitomohlle owners, ho
asks, kIvo proper th"UKht to having
the cur checked over as the sum
mer sea son nears, so l ha t t h cy
know It is in tiptop condition? Ills
implied answer to his own query
Is fUnt there are decidedly fewer
than there should, bet
Vet there was a time when thlnps
were otherwise, he Intimates:
"In days gone by, when autnm
blles were stored for the winter be
CHU It wasn't thought good form
to nsft them during the winter
months, great care was taken m
the spring to see that thoy were
thoroughly overhauled and every
thing put in A-l shape.
"Hut, because cars are used nil
during tho winter months now,
owners are sometimes prone to for
get that the bus requires a little
'spring tonic' to, make It operate its
best.
The Chrysler service flirertor
makes tho interesting suggestion at
this point that If the car were put
away In the fall, like the golf and
tennis and fishing equipment, it
would receive as much and as thor
ough revamping wit h the reuirn
of blue skies as Is given 1o any of
the other possessions which con
tribute to one's heartiest enjoynfent
of life.
"Preventive maintenance" is the
remedy he prescribes for the pres
ent neglect of spring tunlng-up for
automobiles. The Chrysler stand
ardised maintenance , system, ho
says, assures Chrysler owners con
tinued satisfaction with their cars
at all times and Is particularly ad
vantageous for spring adjustments,
he reminds them. If there Is need
for any reconditioning work after
hard winter use, -ho urges them to
have n little overhauling done now
rather than to take a chance on
some annoyance, however slight,
during the height of tho happy
summer motoring season.
World Won't Have Autos Enough
? For Spring Demand, Jordan Says
CI.RVELAXn, 0 Apr. 21 (AP)
The most debated saturation
point for motor vehicles, which has
received many a bluck -eye in the
post few years, gets a knock-down
and flrag-'out from -Wrtwtiwl H. Jor
dun, newspaperman who became
president of Jordan Motor Car
company.
Mr, Jordan not only5 believes the
world saturation point is far from
being reached, but nays:
"There will not bo enough auto
mobiles in the world to meet tho
demand after the. first real warm
day of spring,"
The automobile manufacturer
bases his statement, he lolls The
Associated Press, on the belief
that delayed announcement of tho
new Kord car brotiht buying vir
tually to a standstill during the
last quarter of 1U27, while expected
price reductions before tho nation-
' deterred dealers in placing oilers,
jwith a. resulting slump in produc
tion. :
Mr. Jordan points out also that
delays In getting new models into
production during January and
l'Vbruary loaves dealers through
out the country with low stocks of
cars on hand.
"A powerful motor mnrket In
Wall Street has given the country
a feeling that prosperity will con
tinue. Better values urn being of
fered by alt manufacturers than
ever before and April, May and
June will beat all sulcs nnd produc
tion records."

which might not be considered es
sential, from the service man's
viewpoint. However, the Kord com
pany Is requiring complete knowl
edge of the car on the part of
every dealer's service men. KalMire
to make a passing grade meant that
the man had to take the entire
course again. Jf he failed a sec
ond ttme, he was sent buck to the-
dealer with the suggestion that hi
was not considered qualified to give
Kord service: whereupon, the deal
er was require to send another
man for the next training school
session.
This requirement for trained ser
vice men extend to every Kord
dealer, no matter how small his es
tablishment may be. Many dealers
hove sent two or more mpn to the
branch for training. Cpon possln;
