MICHAELS-STERN COOL SUITS FROM $22.50 up TROTTER'S Knee Action Liars! By R. W. Martland, Jr. When four wheel brakes were introduced some years ago an obstinate automobile manufacturer presistently ridiculed the idea that four wheel brakes were desirable. This short sighted manufacturer spent thousands of dollars in newspapers and magazines advertising the fact that his com pany would not adopt the equipment until it was "perfected." In due course of time the manufacturer "perfected" a four wheel brake. It lasted exactly a year and was the most miserable makeshift ever de vised for an automobile. Meanwhile a sniall coterie of unscrupulous dealers, guided by none too scrupulous factory representatives, fabricated stories of serious accidents which were happening to cars equipped with four wheel brakes of more conventional design. Naturally, Abraham Lincoln's famous adage about fooling some of the people some of the time came into play; with the result that the obstinate manufacturer, despite the convincing facts" of his propaganda, experienced inglorious defeat at the hands of the American public. expenencea Recurrence of this type of despicable propaganda is now taking place in connection with knee action front wheel suspension. Insidious rumors concerning failure of knee action mechanisms are now going the rounds on every automobile row. No car equipped with this 1934 feature is ex empt from the calumny that is broadcast by tongues which drip with competitive venom. ' p What are the facts? The editorial staff 'of this publication has investigated innumerable accidents alleged to have been caused by failure of knee action parts Careful checks have been made with eye-witnesses, highway patrolmen and garages to learn the true facts. To date there is not one scintilla of evidence to substantiate the allegation that any type of knee act on design, or the steering mechanism connected with this design, has even remotely contributed to an accident. . The whole source of these mythical catastrophes seems to spring from misguided salesmen (possibly they are downright malicious) whose are not equipped with knee action.
