Are You
Putting It
Off?
That's a habit with most of us and
when it comes to insurance too many
people put it off until the accident hap
pens. The old saying goes "No use
locking the door after the horse is
gone." An ounce of Auto Insurance be
fore the accident is worth a pound after
you are in the hospital and your car is
smashed up.
Figure the cost of insurance against
the worth of your car, the other fel
low's property and any judgment for
personal injury. You will readily see
that the small cost of Auto Insurance is
neglible when compared with the large
sums at stake.
There is no need to put it off now. Our
installment plan opens the way for all
the payments are extended over a
period of months come in let us ex
plain and by all means DO IT NOW!

Durant Six 66
Sedan Travels
Rough Country
In tho high Sierras where wild
erness areas abound und few mo
torists ever appear, there occurred
recently an event notable in the
history of mechanical and elec
trical achievement. It was the
dedication and beginning of opera
tion of an olectrtc railway carrier
over steel cables extending across
3,000 feet of canyon of the Ameri
can river, 1,200 feet above the buses
and over rocks and steep waste
lands Impossible to human navi
gation. Tho Michigan-California Lumber
company operating mills at t'uin
ino, Calif., in Kldorado county na
tional forest, and logging camps at
I'ino Grande, In the mountains ten
miles away, invested $250,000 in
tho electric cublo railway crossing.
According to officials of tho com
pany, the operation of tho cable
bridge Is a matter of special im
portance to all lumber companies
of the forest regions of 4hc United
'States. It solves the probletn of
linking tho producing areas In pine
logs with the industrial ureas where
mills opera to under commercial
advantages.
A new Durant six sixly-slx sedan,
recently announced us "tho world's
lowest priced automobile with four
forward speeds," was sent out by
tho Durant factory to convey In
terest od wrttors and photograph
ers to tho scene of the dedication.
Nino miles of sleep and rough
mountain roadway from Cumlno to
ho crest of the canyon was nego
tiated by the car with amazing
ease the new silent third gear he-i
lag used throughout tho mountain
trip, according to word received
hero by C, A. Peterson, local Dur
ant dealer.
Reaching tho cable house In time
for the dedication ceremony, the
Durant party wil n .sed the "break"
Ing of the chain" and saw the
giant electric cage glide out of ll
slip, coast down tho sag two hun
dred foot, and, just one and ono
quarter minutes later, arrive ut tho
crest of tho canyon on tho opposite
side. On the return trip, just as
tho cage reached center, the cables
of tho old system wore cut ami tho
long tit eel lines, together with tho
old cage, dropped down into the
Wvor bed below.
Tho new steel carrier now in
operation on regular schedule, lias
a capacity of luft.OOO pounds, and
tho average load of green lumbor
carried is 4", (mm) plus the weight
of the flat earn and men. The steel
cables, four In lino, are two Inches
in diameter und tho pull lino is
ono and one half Indies. The mo
tors operate in the wheels of tho
cage above tho load and ply di
rect. Kuril cable Is 3.4m. feet long
making a totat of more than 17,oou
feet of stool ilno used to guido the

WHAT CHRYSLER HAS DONE
It is hard to recall the day when there
were ho Chrysler cars; difficult to re
member a time when the flashing
Chrysler wings had not yet appeared on
the world's highways. And yet, that was
not so long ago only five years, in fact.
Where it has taken the average automo
bile ten to twenty-five years of gradual,
plodding growth to achieve public
acclaim, Chrysler has risen swiftly to a
foremost and topmost place in the
industry in less than five short years!
What Chrysler has done is without
parallel. Overnight, a name became a
symbol of speed, quality, beauty and
safety. At Christmas, 1923, the
Chrysler emblem meant nothing in the
public mind. By Easter, 1924, it had
come to stand for leadership a claim
undenied to this day.
Fads come and go. Some motor cars
have their brief hour of popularity and
then are forgotten. Chrysler's unprec
edented leap into a position in the van
of the industry was neither forced nor
accidental. That place was won by
inherent worth and undeniable value.
Today, Chrysler is firmly entrenched at
the top, offering the finest performance
in its history. A ride is a revelation.
