that the Rocky Butte hill climb

The sport or bill climbing has
grown rapidly in popularity during
the last few years until now it has
become one of the crowd drawing

reason for this popularity ia prob

the spectator and apparently is

where the extra profits of many out

A better car because Stndebaker
can afford to use finer upholstery,

' Scores of thousands of miles of
excess transportation are built into
every Studebaker. . When the car
which looked like an equal ralae
while it was new, is breaking up,
' the Studebaker is breaking fa,
'- That is why in Arizona out
. where desert heat and rugged moun-
" ; tain trails test automobiles to the
utmost Studebaker sells double its normal pro-
Krtion of cars. Every county fa Arizona which
s bought an automobile for its sheriff has bought
a Studebaker., - ' ,
"While the price has been kept
down to a point which has been
the sensation of the industry, per
formance is the real reason back
of the remarkable growth in pop
ularity of Overland and WHlys
Knlght cars this year." says J. H.
Alfred, manager for the Pacllle
Northwest for the Willys-Overland
Pacific company.",,! j '.: .;;
"Early in the year our engineer
ing department made the promise
that the performance of our cars
"avw. .... i ....... ..t.
will absorb 11118 year wouia 'Bcf ;
These engineers- made ' this
claim for the standard four cylin
der Overland model and they bore
it out in results. These cars have
established a national economy
record which has not been broken
In arduous mileage tests oyer all
kinds of roads they have estab
lished a reputation for freedom
from repairs which is the surprise
of the so called small car field.'
"In the new Overland Six oui
engineers told us that we. would
have a car which, tor acceleration
speed, power, or hills and genera
road ability, could not be ap
proached. : ,Their claims .have
been well borne out. In a recent
series of tests to determine accel
eration, the Overland Six defeat
ed some ot Che fastest horses on
the Pacific coast in the favorite
sprint distance of of a mile
and this meant that the car had
to accelerate to better than 30
miles an hour from a standing
start In slightly over 600 feet."
"Against a 100. yard dash man
with .a record ot 4 45 seconds.
the Overland had to step from s
standing start to better than 20
miles an hour in 300 feet and it
beat the runner by 45 of a sec
ond." : l.
"Tests are now being conducted
on important hills all over the Pa
cific coast territory and -already
the results are . proving that the
engineers' claims are going to be
exceeded." -;i :; !; ,.
"In the 4-cylinder XTlllys-Knlght
model, we were promised a-power
and road ability : 1 development
which would surprise us. Equiv
alent progress has been made In
this model."; ; i v
"The eyes of the entire automo
bile Industry were focused on the
v Miys-tinignt six, and tnis car
has also stepped far ahead of what
was promised for it."
Every city and town, regardless
of size, should have a comprehen
sive, far-seeing traffic program.
Every community has ITS traffic
problem, and, generally, the size
of the community determines its
seriousness.
In laying oat new thorough
fares and new - real estate de
velopments thought should be
given to the width of streets and
highways, to the amount of park
ing area nd to the width of
sidewalks. Many cities in de
veloping their suburbs are mak
ing a time-old mistake of too nar
row streets and highways.
Today most houses are equip
ped with garages. There ' are
more families owning motor cars
than there are families . owning
none. This calls' for wider
streets, wider highways, parking
space that adequate, sidewalks
that are of the proper width.
As a town grows and the num
ber of its motor vehicles increase
traffic problems' become more
numerous . and , more, serious.
Then the community that antici
pated this" situation will be proud
of its foresight.
' Cities are learning that it is a
good plan to route commercial
vehicles motor , driven or horse
hauled away from avenues used
chiefly by passenger cars. They
are also learning the necessity of
keeping records of incoming and
outgoing travel so that tne Dor
den of traffic can be relieved by
routing along designated avenues.
Plan for the future growth of
your city.
