In warm weather,, it Is advisable to tighten the valve on the shock absorbers so as to give the fluid leas play. Hydraulic shock absorbers were adopted for the Model A Ford after thorough tests had demonstrated their effectiveness In easing the worst type of, road bumps, and of greatly reducing what otherwise would be severe shocks to occu pants of the car. It is pointed out that their effectiveness Is pro nounced under any circumstance. tained by a seasonal adjustment.

We have many other cars at our lot to choose from. Phone Main 2 or Main 503 DON'T FORGET MONDAY LAST DAY arison Chevrolet Co When an unknown motor car sets out as Chrysler did to grasp the leadership of a great industry, and with the speed of a meteor, sweeps to a foremost posi tion in popularity and sales, it must possess extraordinary quality and ability. When the 6rst Chrysler car was placed on exhibition 6ve years ago, the whole industry looked in amazement at what Walter P. Chrysler had accomplished. Within four years, Chrysler had leaped" to third place in the industry. - - . ' i How has Chrysler done it? V7hat is the secret of this success? Simply that Chrysler gave in the beginning each year since has given increasingly--and today gives in still greater measure not only a finer grade of basic quality but a higher order of performance, -beauty, style, power, acceleration, safety, comfprh-a at most reasonable prices. Such sweeping success must prove inevitably to the buyer of a Chrysler car today that he can count on the most advanced, trie soundest, the safest and the most satisfying motor transportation his money can command.
