BIG INDUSTRY
' It was only a few years ago.
'records of the American Petroleum
Institute show, that 10 minutes
or more of the motorist's time
was required to fill his tank with
gasoline. Today the operation is
'measured in seconds.
Jtwas only a few years ago al-
('ko that the motorist depended for
service upon the local garage, re
pair shop or some store willing to
'take, on the future' of the motor
vehicle and lay in a Btock of gaso
line, a few cans for handling it
, an,d a small ,' tank, sometimes no
"larger than a barrel, for storage.
'.Today the motorist is given serv
ice at a filling station equipped
to . meet every need of the car,
and often stops at a station
equipped equally well to .take,
care, of the wants of the motorist
himself. , . j
Even as the' filling station has
.improved in service and equip-;
.ment. so also it has increased in
numbers. In size and in value.
Hundreds of millions of dollars
have 'been Invested in service sta
tions by oil companies in an ef
fort to increase and Improve their
retail outlets,, and, the filling serv
ice station business has become a
sizeable .Industry.
It Is quite in keeping with prog
ress, consequently, tha the service
station business recently was put
on a planoof high ethics through
the adoption by the" parent petro
leum Industry of a National Code
of Marketing Practices for Re-
f fined Petroleum Products. , This,
in brief, is a code establishing fair
business practices for meeting
competition in retailing gasoline
and lubricating oil.
i Some l.OjiO. oil ' companies al
ready have adopted the Code,
which has been approved by the
Federal Trade Commission,

NEW DRIVING THRILL
The popularity of any automo
bile can never rise above the
opinion of the man or the woman
behind its steering wheen. - In the
final analysis, the motoring pub
lic's opinion Is molded by the
way a motor car acts.. Perform
ance, after all, is the acid test
and of merit.

American . Petroleum Institute,

NEWTYPE
Following several years of re
search General Motors Corpora
tion has' Introduced a new type of
brake on the .1930 Buick. Bulck,
first among automobiles to adopt
four-wheel brakes, continued with
the external .ype until the recent
perfection' irf this new enclosed
unit, which Its engineers pro
nounce superior to any 'braking
system yet evolved, . ,
Being fully enclosed the ' new
Buick brakes exclude all mud and
water and in addition afford sev
eral entirely new features elimin
ating all of the early difficulties
with enclosed brakes.
' Locking of wheels at high speed,
the' engineers point out, has been
totally eliminated In the ' new
Buick brake, as has heating of
drums and amplification of brake
noises. No lining has yet been
developed which will not score
brake drums, but the new Buick
minimizes this by substituting a
lead plate for a part of the lining.
These new brakes are the two
shoe, cam operated type, but with
the self-energizing front shoe at
tached to the hub plato by a
forked link rod, tho articulated
mounting preventing excessive sllt
cnerglzing and thus eliminating
locking of wheels.
Colled wire springs are wound
around tho outside of tho drums
which assist in keeping the drums
cool, and absorbs brake noises.
The lead plate used with the lining
Is 'alloyed only sufficiently to por
'mlt Its being attached to the shoo
and holding Its shape whllo wear
ing down with the lining. It con
tains graphite and prevents scor
ing by applying this lubricating
film to the drum.
There are two entirely separate
sets of brakes operating on the
saino drums on tho rear wheels,
one pair being foot controlled and
the other emergency.
Braking effort Is divided equally
between front and rear wheels.
Brake' rods are mounted in sclf
allgnlng bearings. All operating
parts are Included In the chassis
lubricating system, with easily ac
cessible grease gun connections.
"Bulck's new brakes are reputed
to be not only mechanically per
fect, but to stop tho cars easily
and quickly under all speeds and
tinder all conditions," says Mr.
Schorer, local deneler.

"So, in the quarter of a century
of automobile building, attention
of the engineering laboratories has
been focused on the question of
how to make tho car easier to
drive. After exhaustive tests and
wide research by the leading en
gineering brains of the country
elimination of mental and physi
cal strain comes now to the driver:
through innovations introduced :
after a long and tedious process
of evolution," says a company of
ficial. More than ever, the demand for,
quietness is making itself felt.
And realizing hiw much quietness
means In the operation of the nu-,
tomoblle, man ufacturers have
spent millions of dollars on bodies,
chassis and engines to accomplish
this end. - '
'"The nnilti-rango gear shift on
tho new '77', 70 and 'Imperial'
Chryslers not only gives increased
smoothness of operation, but it
solves the equally important prob
lem of quietness," says Mr. Will
iams, of the Mcdford Motors, lo
cal Chrysler dealers.
"Someone has compared taking
a golf r.troke with shifting gears.
If tho club meets tho ball with a
shnrp click, a good drive results
and the golfer gets a feeling of
satisfaction not unlike the pride:
of the average driver who meshes
his gears smoothly and quietly. If
tho man on tho tee drives badly
at a crucial point in the game, his
day is ruined. So it is with the
driver whose shift from one speed
to another is accomplished by u
loud, grating clatter of steel on
steel that unnerves him, his pas
sengers and pedestrians nt the
curb. What has heen needed for
a long time Is a fool-proof gear
shift.
"Its arrival in the Chrysler multi-range
gear shift Is being greeted
with nation-wide approval. The
radically different Chrysler recrea
ted motoring Ideals when it was
first Introduced five years ago.
The flexibility of Its speed ranges
brings a new quietness and
smoothness to the operation nt
the multl-rango and the shifts
between starting, accelcratiwn and
speed range, come in short, easy
stnges.
'Speed range back Into tho ac
celeration range sends the enr
leaping forward at GO miles nn
hour. Then slipping again Into
the f Ion ting speed range, which
compares to the ordinary hln'j
gear, a new speed sensation is
felt.
' The acceleration range, unlike
ordinary second gear, is quiet and
Iihs an aeoelerative speed up to
fJO miles an hour. Top speed In
the Kpeed range Is capable of 40
miles an hour and the emergency
heavy duty rjingo takes the car out
of deep mud or sand, easily and
effectively."

developed age resistors that have
added years to the life of rubber
products and have saved "count
less millions of dollars for rubber
consumers.
"Of course, nobody keeps an
idle tire so king as"' two yearst or
more, unless it is a spare tire, and,
by tho way, It is a good idea to
use a tire cover on spares as the
hot sun beating down on a spare
does-not make .It -last any longer.
However, age rcsisters . in ' Good
rich tires have increased their
life many times over their (former
length of lofe in spHc of hot
sun, hot pavements and abrasive
roads.
Wo do not claim that these
age resistors work miracles nor
that rubber science has devised
processes that will eliminate dam
ago to rubber goods by tho hot
rays of the sun, but wo do know
that some of tho world's greatest
men have, given Goodrich credit
for developing a process that saves
millions every year to rubber con
sumers by making rubber goods
more resistant to the ravages of
the elements."

Historic parallels between the
disappearance of ancient preju
dices against bnnks, automobiles
and railroads, freedom of the
press and other once-hated ideas,
and the overthrow of the long
standing prejudice against cigar
ettes, are presented In a current
series of advertisements appearing
In . practically every 'dally news
paper. "Many ' inventions and ideas,
now generally, accepted, have had
to overcome tremendous blind
prejudices at thai beginning. Just
its in the case of cigarettes," the
annonucement of the advertise
ments declares. "But for these
victories of common sense and in
telligence, people today would not
be enjoying general free educa
tion, laws against child slavery,
encouragement of science, enfran
chisement of women who now
have taken their rightful place
of equality, and many other bene
fits which once were fiercely re
sisted. "Improvement and development
of new ideas, in themselves fun -damentally
sound, always have
routed the ancient prejudices
which constantly have fought
against tho forward inarch of
progress. In tho caso of clgnr
ottcs, these improvements havo
included the toasting process for
removing irritating substances and
harmful acrlds which are present
in even the finest tobaccos In their
natural state.
"These advertisements are there
fore presented with a doublo pur
'poso, not only on behalf of I-ucky
Strike cigarettes, but also to re
cord and emphasize the many
other victories won over preju
dice by American intelligence,
contributing to the growth of our.
country as we enjoy it today."
