VP5 i: OLDSMOBILE SIX Front View of Coupe Showing New Rcdiator Design The Oldsmobilt, tTJx rzs intro duced in its refined and beautified 1925 costume today by the Olds Aiotor Works, Lansing, Mich. Fundamentally the car remains the same as it was when it was introduced nearly a year ago and at which time it created a sensa tion, in automotive circles as the lowest priced six cylinder car la the world. For the coming year it will add to this proven automo bile refinements in line and me chanics. ; The most striking changes in the design of the radiator shell and hood. The radiator shell is nickled and follows the most ap proved and advanced ' designs In both European and American car construction. It has a graceful double curve at the top with a slightly curved peak, downward in the center which acts as a base, for the long known Oldsmobile 1 oval emblem. ; Extending downward the radia tbr shell follows slightly concave lines, broadening outward at the base, whicti continues the. easy curves that are features of th design. 1 i I The shell Is somewhat higher than the "previous style, which makes possible an almost level stream line hood extending back tp the rear of the cowl. The hood follows the double curve of the top of, the radiator shell, adding distinctiveness. The refinement .of the front Lines is further added to by the use of new bell-shaped head ami owl lights, which are standard On all models. These lights are of a heavier and more substantial design than were the drum type formerly used, and their, curving lines harmonize perfectly with the hew design, ! ! Durable Duco satin finish is used on all models. -The standj- ard models are finished -in Olds- mobile blue, a rich, dignified $hade, trimmed with ivory strip ing on body and wheels. The sport models continue to use the weathered bronze-green that has proven bo popular during the past season. These are striped with black and gold. Throughout the line, even including the , uppeT sections of the closed model. Duco is used, thus insuring a real ly permanent finish and one that can be economically and quickly repaired in case of mishap. , ! The full line of eighth body types Is continued. These are the touring, sport touring, road ster, sport roadster, two passen ger business coupe, four passenger coupe, sedan and De Luxe sedan. The touring and roadster are up holstered In black fabrikoid, whiie the open sport models have the heavily grained brown Spanish type upholstery. A- new striped velour of a brown-taupe '; shade trims the interior of "the . closed models. -These are also equipprd with metal sun visors covered with black fabrikoid. All closed bod ies are Fisher built. 1 The new radiator lines have been -featured in a rearrangement of the . operating instruments. These are grouped in a nickeled rimmed oval in the center o! the instrument board. In circles lat each side are the ammeter and oil gauge. Nearer the center are the speedometer, and the ignition and light controls, both enclosed Balance can be paid on easy payments.

A memorial of granite, with a bronze tablet, set in a little park surrounded by a three-foot stone wall, marks the spot on a farm near here where the late President Harding shocked grain under a broiling sun in June 1923. when on the trans-continental trip thai was brought ' to f an end by ' death. The memorial was dedi cated August 2. the anniversary of his death. j ; ' It was on the Chester O'Neil wheat farm, eight milea west of Hutchinson, that the late Presi dent shocked grain In the "Ohio wav." as he expressed it to Sen ator Arthur Capper and Gov. Jon flthan M. Davis 1 of Kansas, who previously had showed the Kan sas way of doing It. Then Mr. Harding, drove a harvesting ma chine several times about the field so the "newspaper boy a could have a story," as Mrs. Harding said. "- I The president and party had been greeted at ' the entrance to the farm by a little group of coun try folk, among them several children. With them the Presi dent and Mrs. Harding chatted freely, the president; taking some of the children in his arms. These children and others of Reno coun ty, by contributions of nickels and dimes, raised the fund to erect-the memorial. . V A bit of ground at the entrance to the field was donated by Mr. O'Neal . and a pretty little park was laid out, with shrubbery, blue grass and a surrounding stone wall. Here on , the top of Rayl Hill, where thousands of tourists pass on the paved highway that is a part of the New Santa Fe trail the memorial will stand. Atop a flag staff the American flag will fly daily, for the children of the Rayl school have obligated them selves to be custodians of the colors, to see that the flag Is raised and lowered each day. Perehing will be given a dinner when he retires to private life, and we hope they have hardtack for dessert. " -' . Easy Terms " . Salen, Ore. !
