PAGE TTTRE'B Crater Lake National Park Is Visited By Medford Party in Dodge Victory Six Highest praise In bestowed on the new Chrysler and the Chrysler-Plymouth by uutomuhilu ex perta, writing in the leading auto- mobllo publicationa. "Excerpts from their articles show unmistakably the high re gard in which thoso new models are held," he saya. "Their opin ions are of highest value, lor tneir statements are bused on a know ledge of competitive products ex pert engineering, manufacturing and design that gives them their standing as authorities." L'nder a heading, "Chrysler Springs a Surprise," AutomobUe Topics says in part: "Walter P. Chrysler has luid the groundwork for even great er achievements that have yet been unfolded in the brief years since Ijn began operating under his own name. Three important achieve ments are recorded: the develop ment of an entirely now trentmeut of-lross; establishment 'of new ntandm-ds of value, and launching of . an entirely new and separate line under the histories and typical name pf Plymouth. The "75" and "65" carry out In advanced detail the uniformity of appearance and engineering that have 'been flutr- :..ctcristic of products bearing this name m the past. The Plymouth is in every respect a Chrysler pro duct. Smashing- Eye Appeal "The most important thing about the Chrysler line is the new uniform In wh.Vch ft hns been fitted out. This Is an authentic chango In style, absolutely smashing in its Impact on the ye, and severely correct in" its execution. This new Chrysler is in some respects the most consistent new design the industry has yet seen,, because of the fidelity with which the general .'scheme has been carried into tiie Smallest, and apparently the most inconspicuous, details. It is that which makes it a completely fin ished and highly" refined accom plishment. It is consistent use of sweeping and non-conflicting lines, and the softened intersections of line with line, contour with con tour, that constitutes the keynoe of design. ' "Tho disinctive treatment of the radiator is so conspicuous that it will probably be copied. .Consider able bright work is permitted -without producing the effect of over-trimming. The impression is that of luxury and good, taste. "Tho '65' models combine the most powerful engine, .strongest chassis, roominess and the most luxurious body equipment Chrysler has yet offered in a car costing little more than $1000. "If Indication were wanted that Walter-P. Chrysler is prepared to sell a lot of high grade merchan dise In the low-priced field, the Plymouth offers all the assurance that could be desired. Finer Throughout .' -Motor Ago, another authority, says that "distinction is the key ;rvovd . which best describe'' tho Chrysler offerings. Probably the most outstanding characteristic of the new models is their appear ance. For one thing, there has Jjeen achieved a brand new idea in radiator shell design which gives the effect of an increase in car length even greater than that actually incorporated. A consider able number of detail changes of various external parts contribute further to the general effect. Structurally also, there are numer ous changes which have been in corporated on all models, contrib uting to increased comfort." "Chrysler for 1929 embodies many improvements," according to Motor World Wholesale. "Changes In the cars' appearance are par ticularly striking. The increase in length from the dash forward, accentuated by narrowing the radiator shells and the higher radiator, cowl and hood, conveys an impression - of more power, speed and greater roominess. An other distinctive feature is the use of arched windows on all closed models. Careful attention lias been given to features affect ing tho comfort of passengers."

How the tire swindlers carry j out their deception on motorists by representing their wares as Iho products of nationally known rubber companies, but which were I merely discarded tires re-vul- canized and encased in paper wrappers, was described before the court as follows: A truck occupied by two men, draws up alongside another mo tor car halted In traffic. One of tho men would ask the driver of the car If ho wanted to buy a tiro or two cheap, U. S. Royal Cord being the make usually offered. They would offer to sell for $25, two tiros priced at $25 each, and sometimes would reduce the price to $1.00 the pair. When the pros pective purchaser showed dlsbe- ef of their statement they would tear asido some of tho wrapper and show the U. S. stamp on tho lire.
