vertising - eampaig n recently
launched by the Standard Oil com
pany la the marketing and distri
bution lot their new winter grade
gasoline - a , great deal of public
interest has. been, shown in the
manufacture of this new product.
'I It Is our object to furnish our
, readers with first hand informa
tion re la tire to any news of inter
est and we therefore had an inter
view with Mr. A. R. Rankin, "the
local representative of the Stand
ard Oil company, and he had the
following to say:
"The Standard1 Oil company Is
now offering the motoring public
the very best grade of gasoline
ever manufactured. This New
Winter Grade product is not only
a quick starting' gasoline but it
also embodies the very essential
dualities required of a high grade
fuel." j - '-",'.- . -..-4..:',.. , ,
It might also be of interest for
you to know that Mr. A. I Strout,
of the manufacturing department
of the Standard Oil company is at
the present time making exhaus
tive distillation tests in order that
the Standard Oil company may be
assured j that 4 their , objective is
being reached, or, in other-words,
at the points of manufacture cer
tain high standards have- been set

a-cuick-starting fuel with smooth,

- The particular work of this rep

this district meets with the speci

It Is the Standard Oil company's
aim to see that the motoring pub

IRISH AUTO PAPER
PRAISES CHRYSLER
"T. K. Ti" Widely Known
Irish Auto Authority,
Jells of Chrysler
Europe apparently has taken
the Chrysler Six to its heart equal
ly ; as much as .has America,
Chrysler Motor corporation ' offi
cials say, Judging from . reports
reaching them from those coun
tries abroad in which the car has
been introduced. v;. -- s
"T.K.T.," widely known Irish
automobile authority, writing in
the Belfast: News Letter, one of
Ireland's leading Newspapers, has
this to say of the car:
"I hinted last week that the
new American Chrysler was ex
pected in Belfast. It is : here.
and I have had. a run. I expec
ted to find it a very fine car, but
the reports of its performance did
it scant justice. On the road I
was impressed with the fact that
it was the finest car I have ever
driven or, been driven in, irrespec
tive of price. - , .: w.
"The engine Is undoubtedly a
masterpiece. Thirty-five to forty
miles an hour can be maintained
right up the Horse Shoe, which is
a fair indication of the car's power
on hills.
"The most remarkable part; of
the car is the fact that were it
not that the speedometer is in
front of you, when travelling at
40 miles an hour you would feel
certain that the speed was no
more than 25. And so fine is the
suspension that the roughest
roads can be travelled over with
out any ' sensation of discomfort.
At 55 miles an hour the car ap
pears to be just getting into Its
stride, and there is a complete ab
sence of vibration of any kind
There is not a trace of hesitation
when the -throttle is " suddenly
opened to the fullest. The speed
increase ts also steadily-maintain
ed over the entire range of throtle
opening. ,
"Readers will possibly - have
gathered from past references , to
hour-wheel brakes that I am not
enamoured of them. ButT really
for the first time enjoyed using
the four-wheel brakes on the
Chrysler. They are free from all
Jar and work like velvet. There
is' a reason of course. They are
hydraulic. Therefore compensa
tion on account of one of the
elementary laws of the science of
hydraulics must be perfect. There
are no rods to break and rattle:
the braking power applied at each
wheel must be equal and propor
tional to that exerted by the fluid
compressed. It is comparatively
simple to arrange matters that
sufficient pressure will be applied
to the front wheel brakes to af
ford the fullest retardation effect
without danger of locking them,
and it follows that once this hap
py result has been arrived at this
adjustment is not like to alter.' In
fact, T cannot see how the com
pensating principle can be deran
ged. In use these brakes are a
revelation of smoothness af action
combined with powerful opera
tion. They add to the delight in
driving a car that apart from
braking ability is quite out of the
common."
Says Free Service f
. 4 Costly To Buyers
'(Continued from psgs 1)'
could be done only by raising the
list price of the car and this they
refused to do.
"So, under Dodge Brothers pol
icy, the buyer pays ONLY for his
car.
, "Under the so-called 'free ser
Tice policy, erery owner pays a
maintenance fee for the upkeep
of every other owner's car and
he pays this fee In advance.
"Under Dodge Brothers policy,
the owner is not so penalized. - He
pays a fair, pre-determined price
for.service, but he pays only as he
needs It and he pays only for his
own. i
"The logic of the proposition is
perfectly plain. That is why most
people hare no difficulty in un
derstanding why 'free service is
not as 'free' as it looks, and that
our charges . are . entirely reason
able and . wholly : justified . by the
principles under which the car
was sold.
