By JOHN CHAPMAN IIILDER
I was eonoeived in tlie'minds of mon who lived before
their time. I enme into lieinty not ns a cliild does, iht
ieet of lorm and laoking only growth but crude and
"Sly. m-shaped in every part. Yet in nie was ervstal
lized tlie genii of an idea the vision of a greater vic
tory for man over the elements of time and space.
My creators passed on, but their vision lived for other
men to see and to expand. And I have grown.
Out of the bowels of tho earth is mined the stuff of
which 1 am built. Metals aro conjured with to give
me untold strength. To make me, man humbles the
monarchs of proud forests and wrings from age-old
rocks their richest ores. And from tropic lands ships
bring the cushioned tread on which 1 ride.
As I have grown in mv capneity to serve, so have T
ncquired beauty and dignity. All that men know of
Science and of Art today are vested in me. The keen
est minds 011 earth are focused on me, that tomorrow 1
may advance nearer to perfection.
My career has been short ns men measure time yet
I have changed the history of nations.
I have carried the city into tho country nnd the coun
try into the city.
I have broken down barriers and built up friendships.
I have released millions from the slavery of dwelling
in remote places and have given them the freedom of
the unending highway.
I have introduced civilization into dark corners of tho
world. I have quickened and broadened the progress
of commerce nnd industry.
I began life as a plaything for the rich, but have be
come a utility at the service of all people.
I am a living monument to imaginative achievement.
I am a symbol of modernity. ' -
I am the motor car.
1 The most discussed nutomoliile oil the
market ta Chevrolet whirh in less than a
eurs time jumped from seventh to sec
ond place iu current registrations uml
jet promises still more sensational de
velopments in V.fct. It. P. tio)tliusturc
ha the local agency for this tnr.
j This car has been on the market alout
seven years hut not until the fall of ltd
was It retarded at all serinuslv us a i on-
tender for leadership iu the low-priced
At that time a new line of model.- was
brought out embodying important engi
neering improvements, bigh-grude (todies
in all closed models and prices runging
from $;VjTi for the touring car to $s7
for the .Vpnsenger sedan, (later reduc
ed to $SiH), . .
The Chevrolet motor hail nlwnys en
joved nu excellent reputation and the
udded improvement caused a rapid i it
t tease in demand that resulted in a
shortage of supply that persisted all dur
ing XW'l'l in spite of double shifts anil
plant enlargements.
The new models announced in October
included marked improvement in design
and some udded equipment at no advance
iu price.
About this time it wan announced that
new asseniMv nlaiits were heiuir built at
J'uffnln, Cincinnati and .lanesville, Wis.,
u!m new body plants adjoining the nuto-
ntuUiie mautifactiiriue plant at Huttalo
Cincinnati, Flint, St. Jxiuis. .lanesville
and Oaklnnd, thus giving I hevrolet the
Ir.rgest high-grade closed car rapacity in
the world.
Inasmuch as the demand for closed
cars of all makes has of recent years al
ways exceeded the supply at least part of
the year, ibis new Chevrolet capacity is
very importnut, becnuse as is well known
ir. the trade, closed car business goes
to the concern that can make the quick
cut delivery.
The practical measures of the remnrk
nble progress of Chevrolet in told by
sales figures for the last two years. In
31 '20, up to that time the motor indus
try's best venr. Chevrolet marketed 15.'t,-

Fplendid total of iMIt.OOO sales, ami pro
duction schedules for are said to be
rbuut double the sales.
pudpose as the non-skid tire tread, that :HK
is. give additional traction and reduce '
side slip. Non-skid chains Bhouhl sup- I
piement non-skid tires only -wlien road
conditions absolutely require them.
Because they make available iu road
friction the total weight of the car in
stead of only half the car weight, four
wheel brakes are coming into use. es
pecially in continental Kuropc. Mot
uly can cars be stopped more quickly
but they can be driven safely on wet
days and in ice and snow without chains.
In stopping n car equipped with four
wheel brakes all four wheeLs may slide
and tbe car as a whole slip forward.
However, there appears to be little jr
no side skidding.
This is especially true if the brakes aVe
connected diagonally in pairs, that is, j
left-hand front wheel nnd rght-hnnd i
rear-wheel. With this arrangement op-
posite wheels are able to roll freely,
retaining tlieir directing qualities.

Cost Too Much?
