The New OREGON STATESMAN. Salem, OreffonSandar Morning; April 7. 1929
DORM HEAD
F. J. Haynes, New President,
Well Impressed With
Activity on Coast
Deeply Impressed with the ov
erwhelming Durant activity on the
Pacific coast, Frederick J. Haynes,
recently elscte4 president of Du
rant Motors, Inc. is now continuing-his
toor of the western states
after visiting southern and central
California. His first official visit
to the western Durant roganlza
tion since becoming head of the
International automotive Institu
tion has been a revelation to him,
he said In a communication to H.
E. Shade, of the Salem Automobile
Co., local Durant dealers.
Before he departed from the
San Francisco bay district, where
. u located the huge Durant plant
serving the western section of the
country, he paid high tribute to
Norman deVaux, head of the Du
rant In the west, and the factory
organization. He was elated over
the present production program
which is given by deVaux as 150
cars a day. According to present
plans, production next month will
reach the 4.000 mark.
The dealer organization he has
already visited. Its buildings and
showroom, also received much
praise from Haynes. "If what 1
have already seen of conditions
la the territory -is any criterion,
you should find no difficulty la
exceeding your present quota of
30.400 ears this year by 10.000'
he commented.
Concerning the Durant facilities
for manufacture and distribution
of motor cars and regarding pro
duction and sales during 112.
Haynes had this to say:
"We have investigated the Du
rant factories and product and
found , them to be excellent. The
Durant car, we believe, Is really
superior to the average and pos
sesses certain distinctive qualities
not yet generally known to th
public. It is our purpose to make
them known, and to constantly
make the product still better and
therefore still more worthy of its
good name."

Ability to Wedge Auto Into
Small Space Deemed
Big Advantage
More than five million cars art
parked dailr In the business dis
tricts of the large centers of pom
latlon In the United States, ac
cording to nation-wide traffic
analysis Just completed by De
troit automotive engineers studying-
parking conditions throughout
the country. ,
Observers found the DeSoto Six
a ear that beet meets the serious
situation and gave It a wide mar
gin over other makes of cars
viewed from a window In a high
building in the motor metropolis
as they checked the traffic flow
in a congested area down town
with stop watches. Because of
the ease with which It can be
parked quickly in a small space,
the elapsed time with the DeSoto
Six was considerably less than for
other ears. Officials of the com
pany said this was due to the par
ticular type of steering gear used
by the De Soto and the exception
ally quick response of the engine
to the accelerator and to the four
wheel brakes.
"As much as 10 minutes was
necessary to park some cars," said
Henry A. Irwin, a Detroit traffic
expert who was present. "Al
though this was to some extent
due to tlfb heavy traffic. It was
found that some cars did not
handle readily in the stream of
2,000 automobiles clocked passing
the building. At no time did the
DeSoto nold up other traffic while
it was being guided to the curb.
It was found that a great deal of
time Is lost in parking and al
though approximately 7.000 ears
can be narked in the down town
section of Detroit, at one time,
this number la greatly Increased
by ears coming and going at short
luterrals throughout the dayde
laying traffic and often leading
to accidents.;
In this connection it is Interest
ing to note that "Walter P. Chrys
ler in a recent interview, declared
that prior to the actual manufac
ture of any cars by-him, he de
cided ease of parking would be
one of their features. He was In
fluenced, Mr. Chrysler said, by
watching New York traffic from
his office window, witnessing how
long lines of cars were constantly
delayed for minntes on end by the
eforts of drirers to Prk cars
which were unwieldiy to handle
in narrow confines at crowded
curbs.
UUP m TO FETE

THINK of it! An eight, a Studebaier and Com
mander for 1495. Worth successor to the world
famous Commander which sped 25,oooimiles in less than
J 3,000 minutes in heroic proof of its speed and staying
power. Heir to the full fruits of Studebaker's engineering
genius, which requires no further evidence than the fact that
Studebaker todaj holds, undisputed, every official speed and
endurance record for fully equipped stock cars.
Today's Commander is emphatically today's motor car.
Its superb performance is matched by forward, youthful
style, which beautifiilly interprets that performance. Lower
lower takingand steadier at great speed because of
its costly double-drop frame. Restful riding, such as motor
ing never knew iintU Studebaker introduced the luxury of
ballbearing spring shackles.'is still further enhanced by
hydraulic shock absorbers. yf h
Available either with straight-eight or with six-cylinder
motor, The Commander is offered by Studebaker, Builder of
Champions, as "the greatest motor car ever built and sold at
its price." Your first ride will prove it.
