It. Tracy,- vice-president in charge of sales of the Oakland Motor Car company, -who stated this -week that from a mid-year perspective i the outlookffor t he next siz months of IB 29 .promised a substantial gain over hp same period last year. From information supplied him by several hundred, field repre sentatives quartered in all sec tions of the United States, Mr. Tracy declared that conditions are! generally more stabilized than in 1928, when a new high output record was set in the automotive Industry, and that people every where seem content with the pres ent order of things and .confident that America's unprecedented prosperity wilt be maintained tot an indefinite periad- ., "Coupled with tni& favorable psychological attitude, which means a 'buying' attitude, are ba sic, business barometers pointing the way to another record year." Mr. Tracy declared. "Savings de posits are at a record high; con struction is forging ahead unabat ed; extensive highway construc tion programs are opening up new outlets for cars and adding .to their utility: cattle, hog . and corn are bringing excellent prices; cotton faces a satisfactory "year, and the farmer, particularly' ' in view of recent favorable Congres sional action, will absorb cars In greater volume than a year ago. "Our organization established a new high record for the first six months of 1929, whea . sales, of new Oakland and Pontlac Sixes showed a gain of 6,000-units over the organization of our. company back In 1907. . - "Despite a slow start' in - the early part of the year, due to pro duction delays in bringing out new models, volume mounted so rapidly la the late winter and ear-' ly spring: that, or see,yal consec utive months we set high monthly records in sales and production. The results so far, coupled with schedules we have set up for the 'balance of 1929 will undoubtedly found'put the most ericcesrsfal j car in the history of our company." il 01 1 111 I -.:. ...J " V.

Mr " Visual proof that the Greluun-pHige foor-pee3 transmission enables the car to attain high road-speed at a moderate engine-speed, with the coaseqnent elimination of vibration and noise and gain in effi ciency and comfort, is given by the tachometer. This device,' similar to a spaedometer, shows engine speeds in revolutions per minute. At 50 m. p. h., the Graham-Paige engine makes only 2080 r. p. m., as against 2775 for an average three-speed car. TACHOMETER H exhaust, and increased vibration, make themselves very apparent.

SI miles per hoar. Drivers "Jack" Frost, Dud R. Day and Frank French (all Ford dealers) wanted also to prove the pulling power of the New Ferd Car and as a result a hill-climbing run was arranged from San Bernardino to Big Pines Recrea tion Camp in the mountains above. The climb over the Na tional Old Trails - and Swardout Valley Highways is considered one of the stiff est tests in South ern California. The road rises f roln the level valley to an eleva tion of 862 feet at the entrance of the camp. In one stretch. 5.7 miles in length is a rise of 3.075 feet., Model "A" Ford No. 1283 was sealed in high gear at San Bernardino and negotiated the 36.2 mile pull without difficulty.

The average driver Is not conscious of his en gine at speeds below 45 m. p. h.; however, when he gets above that figure, he can no longer ignore the motor because the high speed of the engine, the whirring 'of the fan, the roaring of the Intake and a silent internal-geared drive slightly lower in gear than the di rect drive if three-speed cars, giv ing a final drive ratio of 5.25 to 1. Because of its silence and its high speed capability, this" gear is known as an additional "high. These two high gears give the dri ver a great advantage, fourth pro viding reduced engine speed at any road speed, and third offering nji uaually brilliant acceleration and hill-climbing powers.
