.300 Cars Arrive. '
Two weeks to the day after leaving
' . the big, factory at Flint, Mich-, the big
"60 car tralnload of Cberroleta con
signed to th Field Motor Car com
pany . arrived In the Portland freight
'.yards. ...
'. Tbia Shipment ia the first - tralnload
? consignment ever made to any single
" automotive dealer in the Northwest. -?x
Lata Monday afternoon the hue
train carae puffing tnto tha Portland
yards. Tuesday morning'" both Leroy
an4 Arthur Fields were in the freight
yards auperin tending the unloading of
' th ears. .,.,
There were 100 of the superior model
. j Chevrolet cars tn the tralnload. The
: automoblUa were packed six in a ear
for the cross country trip, three on
jthe deck of the ter and three sus-
ponded above by stands and lashings,
S ' SHIFPED nr; TWO TUBS ; i ; '
In unloading, the ear of the lower
tier are rolled out first and then the
-upper tier lowered to th deck of the
freight car. When the automobile comas
out It is a queer looking affair.
Accustomed as .people are nowaday
, to seeing an automobile .with a top and
' windshield lnv place, the machine as It
rolls out appeals to be but half com
' pleted. " It has th appearance of a
, cross between a seagolng boat and a
plucked duck, if such, can be conceived.
. Tn freight cars were being unloaded
at the rate of four. day. That means
that 24 Chevrolet are driven to the
j east aid warehouse' of "the Fields
Motor Car company every day.
Here they are, stored for distribution
In the territory covered by th firm.
.The shipment consisted of phaetons
:' only,
FREIGHT COST 317.SII '
.The retail value of the tralnload of
- cars is approximately $200,000, aocord
. ing to Leroy Fields. The firm has the
privilege of paying a ' freight bill
amounting to I2T.O00.
At first 'the company tried to get
ears from the Oakland factory of the
Chevrolet company. Inability of that
'plant to. supply such .' number and at
, the same time take ears of the demand
f or i, Chevrolets in California made it
impossible. '
' Attention was then turned to the
Flint plant .and the negotiations . for
the shipment soon completed. Arrival
of the train establishes a record for
the Northwest and .Oregon. It is the
f:rst shipment of motor cars of such
magnitude to arrive for distribution in
the Beaver v state,' It is also the first
olid tralnload shipment to coma to the
Northwest territory.
"The demand . for th new model
- Chevrolet was so great here that we
- were forced to get th ears, Fields
aid. "This tralnload Is indeed a ree-
ird breaker but there is no trouble In
retting, them sold. -.

to hit its stride, and ia the next decaae
surprising things t. ma i expected.
