PEAR EXPERIMENT An experiment with Winter Nells pears, conducted by the Oregon Washington Pear bureau, with head quarters In Seattle, has been an nounced by that office, telling of the distribution of 10 boxes of the fruit in Boston. Two of the boxes were retained New DeVaux Here This Week umtjm- -- I iV , . - - V I ' ' K . : - lull HM"' 1 t 1 JjStfuL-aJ The new DeVanx 80, built by Contlnental-De Vaux company, a subsidiary of Continental Motors corpo ration, will he sold In Medford by the Sabln-Rliftlt Motors, Inc. The models will be on display the last ot the coming week at the Sabln-Rindt showroom at 32 North Riverside. The Contlnental-De Vaux "Red Seal" engine, six cylinders, develops 80 horse-power at 3400 R.P.M., and Is one of the most powerful motors used In any medium priced automo bile. This power plant is directly responsible for the dynamic perform ance of the De Vaux 80. Vibration is practically eliminated by the use of live rubber engine mountings. The De Vaux 80 incorporates many new improvements which make for greater comfort, easier and more economical operation. Free-wheeling in all forward speeds, constant-mesh, silent second transmission, a new type instrument panel with "Watch- Dial" instruments, "Aero -Line" bodies and other 1933 Innovations are re sponsible for the beauty and per formance of the new car. "Startlx, the automatic key switch, and ther mostatically controlled ride-regulator may be had at a slight extra ex pense to the purchaser. The bodies used on the De Vaux 80 are completely streamlined. The windshields are slanted, and the reveals, panels and fenders are grace fully curved, giving better perform ance, due to the fact that .wind-resistance is diminished at high speeds. The bodies are two Inches wider In both front and rear 'compartments and three persons are accommodated with ease In the front seat. The over-all height of the sedan is barely 68 Inches and that of the convertible coupe Is only 64 Inches, making it one of the lowest and therefore one of the safest cars built. Form-fitting cushions with extrs deep seat backs are used In all models to assure the maximum In riding comfort. Arm rests, robe rails, assist cords, dome lights and other Interior appointments make the De Vaux 80 one of the most luxurious of motor cars. Cam-and-lever steering. Identical to that used by the highest priced cars, will be used In all models. With this type of gear, road shock to the steering wheel Is eliminated. This method of gearing also brings the wheels back to center after turning without the driver touching the wheel. Smaller wheels and larger tires, 17x5.60, allow greater steering ease. With the appointment of Sabln Rindt Motors, Inc., as De Vaux dealer In this locality, another link Is forged In the Continental -DeVaux dealer chain which la growing rapidly. F F Following the O. I. Oates Auto company's special demonstrations and free moving pictures showing the manufacture and performance of the new cars, a large portion of southern Oregon's motor-minded men and wo men have been converted Into Ford V-8 enthusiasts. C. E. Gates, in an Interview Sat urday, mad the following state ments; "The new Ford V-8 Is certainly a sensation all over the country and never before have competitors gone so far in their remarks pertaining to any competitive automobile, as they have against the new Ford, which certainly shows that the car is of the highest type, "The Ford Motor company la not tied up In the present car by any outside patent holder. Production on the new automobile la Increasing as rapidly as new machinery can be Installed for manufacture of the car. "Practically all of the dealers In the state of Oregon have demon strators at the present time, and next Tuesday the Portland branch starts assembling the new Ford car. This branch is one of the smallest in the United States and Is practically the last orancn starting operations. "Saturday morning, May 7th, we received our first demonstrator and have been demonstrating steadily every lew minutes, and it Is surmis ing the way people are thrilled by its penormance. one party who had an order In for one and had about decided not to wait, was so thrilled after driving It that he said If neces sary he would wait six months before he would take another make of car. Everyone who rode In this car said It was worth waiting for and It was the sensation of automobile manufacture. Nothing anywhere near It in performance had ever been built. "Other manufacturers say 'Why waltr Just have a ride In It and you have your answer. . It Is the lsst word in automobiles, the car you have dreamed of, but neveT ex pected to see. "This is our first demonstrator and deliveries will be coming soon. Fac tory is getting Into production with amazing speed and we will soon have cars on our floor for delivery. Have a ride In our demonstrator and you will sure get the answer to the ques tion 'Why wait?'" SANDERSON FLOOR New model Pont lac coupes, sedans and coaches recently received by the Sanderson Motor company are now on display at the garage showrooms at 207 South Riverside. Entirely new lines character! re the 1033 Pontlac with Its syncro-mesh transmission, free wheeling and ride control features, and according to B L. "Sandy" Sanderson, they are out standing In the field of popular priced cars on the market today. Complete servicing for sixes and eights Is offered by the Sanderson Motor company. As a general rule, few motorists concern themselves with obscure mechanical details of design and construction. Yet every owner should be Interested In the pistons Intro duced by Studebaker in its new Dictator Eight and Studebaker Six models. They are cast iron electro plated with soft metal. This con struction not only contributes to engine efficiency, but saves in engine maintenance and materially prolongs the life of the car. According to TJ, S. Armstrong of Armstrong Motors, Inc., the new Studebaker dealer here, the new electro-plated pistons pioneered by Studebaker are particularly welt suited to Its smaller engine models. They permit a closer-fitting, freer acting and self-lubrlcatlng piston surface, which practically eliminates the possibility of scoring or piston slap. "In design and dimensions, the new piston Is identical with the plain cast-iron piston formerly used by Studebaker, but has a coating of soft metal one one-thousandth of an Inch (.001) thick, which provides a glass-smooth surface and pro motes frlctlonless efficiency between the moving surface and the cylinder block. "Because of this protective layer, the new piston allows of a tit two one -thousand tns of an inch (.003) closer than before, resulting In a. clearance of leas than half that formerly required with the old type piston (.0015 of an Inch as against .0035 of an Inch). The tremendous advantage of a 'tighter piston which will not score, even under unusually severe conditions, la obvious. "Before giving their final approval to this new piston, Studebaker en glneers subjected It to the most rigid laboratory, proving ground and road tests. For 400 consecutive hours, a Studebaker motor, equipped with the new electro-plated pistons, was operated with wide open throt tle on a dynamometer. "This test Is conceded to be one of the toughest to which an angina can be subjected." Crater Magazine Out This Month The Crater Mag tine. Medford sen ior high school's annual, will be out this month and student and towns people are being urged to co-operate in buying and selling these maga alnes.
