Oakland Auto Head Says
Business for First Half :
of 29 is Good
Healthy prosperity for the au
t '.motive Industry daring the bal
finre of the year Is anticipated by
Y. 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."

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.

that there were eight turns in the
six mile coarse and that full pow
wheels at the same time for only
one mile in six, Model "A" Ford
Ko. 1283 completed the 600 mile
tun a tan average speed of 62. 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.
On the evening of the same day
before th eseals.were broken, i.t
made 65 miles per hoar in San
Bernardino, being driven by the
official of the American. Railway
Express who had originally seal
ed it in high gear.- . '

driver and passengers are not'eon
scious' of going fast. v
According to the Graham-Paige
engineers, who are sponsoring the
tachometer test, the average mo
torist has a very indefinite idea of
his engine speed, so that a'jide in
atachometer-equlpped car will
prove a revelation. 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.

Summer time Is picnic time to

to be carried io the street car, for
the hot; uncomfortable' ride" to the
picnic grounds at the edge of. he
city. The more fortunate were
able to hitch old Dobbin to "the
