The rich color eom- The Graham-Paige Motors cor poration, Detroit, which intro dnced an entirely new line of pas senger ears at the New York auto mobile show, has announced that the cars have been put into pro duction and that shipments have already been made to most of the larger distributing points in the United States.1 In a comparative ly short time, therefore, the new models will be on exhibition whereyer the company is repre sented by a dealer. The Oraham-Palge was one of the centers of Interest at the New York and Chicago national auto shows, and at all the other shows held so far in the larger cities, and was received everywhere with marked favor. With the Introduction of the new cars. It was announced that the Paige-Detroit company had be come the Graham-Paige Motors corporation, under the leadership of the three Graham brothers, who acquired control of the plant last June. The Graham name is known throughout the automotive Industry, here and abroad, be cause of the achievements of the three Graham brothers in the truck and passenger car industry, and the Graham-Paige car U the answer to the query that has been propounded many times since) these three brothers pure based a long-established and successful manufacturing plant in the passen ger car field. "What are the Grah ams going to do?" was the ques tion; the Graham-Paige car is their answer the first paseenger car to bear their name. It is now known that the new " ' : f "WW- & s cars existed in fact long before they acquired u factory in which to make them. From the time they severed their connection with tne truce industry and gave up their Interests in the passenger car field, the Grahams were work ing with a staff of engineers on a new automobile to meet their own ideas of what a motor car should be. Cars were built and tested and refined, and preparations for their production were begun as soon as tne Paige plant was pur chased. The new Graham-Paige radia tor emblem, though small in it self, is a significant illustration of the careful study given to the de tails of the new care. Instead of an ordinary trade-mark, the Graham-Paige emblem Is actually a work of art, as is attested by the fact that the studios of Lor ado Taft, American sculptor whose monumental artistic works are known throughout the art world, were engaged to design the em blem. A wide variety of models is In cluded in the new line. Most of i these are now in production. They have many exclusive features of Graham-Paige's own design. Four speed transmissions are used in all but the Model 610. Auxiliary Auto Lights Decided Aid To Driver Auxiliary automobile lights when properly Installed and ad Justed are a decided aid In night driving. , Most everyone realizes the con- venienceof a spotlight for reading road signs, house numbers, etc but not everyone has learned the true value of the light in helping the driver to safely meet the many dangerous road conditions that are encountered when driving at night. Correctly adjusted to the road. the driver can keep hl3 eyes fo cused on the path of light and not be distracted by the lights of on coming machines. Willis Clarke local manager of the Western Auto Supply company declares that the proper way to use the spotlight is to direct Its beam on the right hand edge of the road in front of the car. This not only prevents the rays from shining in the eyes of oncoming drivers but gives the driver of the spotlight equipped car a clear beam of light thatp lain ly describes the edge of the road or any object at the side of the high way. The oval-lite which Is rapidly gaining favor among automobile illuminating the curves as the car turns a corner and Is not Intended to take the place of a spotlight. declares the Western Auto man ager. Oil Company Gradually Extending Its Service Union Oil company of Califor nia, whose service stations blan ket the entire Pacific coast and extend eastward to Nevada and Arizona, is gradually extending Its marketing sphere westward across the Pacific Following closely on its entry into Australia and New Zealand as a marketer of its re fined products, comes the an nouncement that arrangements have been completed for the dis tribution and sale of Its Arlsto motor oil In Java, most Important Island of the Dutch East Indies group.

Its area Is approximately owners has a duty of Its own in 48,500 square miles Although luxury the keynote of the Willys-Knight Great Six models which are being exhibited at the automobile show unusual care has been taken by the Willys- Overland engineers In designing tthls group of Knlrfht englned cars to provide for comfort. smoothness and safety, A double drop frame Is em ployed to secure low swung weight, this methdd of engineer ing carrying the body close to the ground to provide riding smooth ness and at the same time firing road stability to the car. .This method of construction permits fast driving without the dangers that are apparent In cars where the bodies are carried higher in the air. An additional safety fac tor Is provided In the 4-wheel brake equipment, standard equlp1 ment on all products manufact ured by the Willys-Overland com pany. Felflex spring shackles also form a part of the standard equip ment on the Willys-Knight Great Six line.
