PAGE FOURTEEN The New OREGON STATESMAN, Salem, Oregon, Snnday Morning, April 21, 1929 wm mm. E m n b Hew Policy Adopted by Oakland Motor Co.; Applies 30 Days Another progressive step re cently taken by a prominent au tomobile manufacturer toward better business methods in the merchandising of used cars, came to light here tod? 7 when the Oak land Motor Car company an nounced adoption of a national policy under which all Oaklanrt Pontiac dealers wil be asked to furnish a written guarantee with tl reconditioned used parts. Under terms of the guaranty, parts are furnished free t re place any found defective during the first 750 mile3 of driving provided the mileage is run up within 30 days after the sale. The car also may be returned within 48 hours after the purchase if it proves unsatisfactory and the ful purchase price applied to any other car. new or used, of equal or greater value in the dealer's stocks. A written guaranty printed on lithographed bond paper is i3sued by the dealer to the purchaser at the time of the sale, ryhile all cars carrying the -niaranty also have a windshield sticker on which Is printed. "Reconditioned Guaranted Good Will Used Car." The object of the new plan, ac cording to M. L. Buck, manager of the used car department, is to provide the purchaser with con crete evidence of the good faith of the dealer who makes the sale. "Many of our reconditioned cars are priced withtn the range of the cheapest new car," Mr. Buck stated. "If the money were invested in the small new car the purchaser would receive a stand ard warranty with it. Tn making a similar purchase of a good used car he Is entitled to a like mea sure of protection. Weather Reports Now Phoned to Planes ' . ' ' . The United States Department of Commerce Is In readiness to operate the first radio telephony station on the Pacific coast.

Franklin Rose, is shown in the foreground. COMPRESSION MI RIGHT (Continued from page 9) let Six. To obtain high compres sion, combustion chamber space is of necessity made smaller. It is natural then, of course, that we must use fuels and lubrica tions that eliminate as far as pos sible hard carbon deposits. A soft .carbon will, to a great extent, au , tomatically slough away, leaving ( the combustion chamber at ap proximately the original size of I factory design." THE CARE OF TREES HOW'S THE ROAD? 3fr S B 9fr 9 3 Answers Framed in Weekly Report From Oregon State Highway Commission Do not leave the soil heaped up . around newly planted trees, shrubs or evergreens. Rather leave a depression around the plant, cupping the soil, so to speak, so it will receive and re tain the water supplied by rain fall rather than letting this run off away from the plant. Trees set out on lawns should not have the grass or sod grow right up to the tree. A space about the tree, should be left open to the size of the hole dug when planting the tree, and the top soil should be kept .cultivated all summer just as one would cultivate a garden. The depression will serve for catching and holding the water, ; and the cultivation will greatly aid In aerating the soil and in En couraging the growth of the tree.
