What Income bracket buys low- priced cars? Interesting figures, supplied by C. M. Hurd. manager of Rogue River Chevrolet, Inc., explains why Chevro let Motor company has Introduced the new Standard, proclaimed the "lowest priced, full-sized car In the world." Chevrolet also presents this year a. more expensive car than the Standard, called the Master DeLuxe. In the early 1934 survey conduct ed by Chevrolet." declared Mr. Hurd. we discovered that the average monthly income of those who pur chased cars In the lowest price class was $206. Later in 1934. a survey of similar proportions showed that the monthly Income of this group had declined to 160. whether a survey at the present time would Indicate a continuation of this declining In come trend. I don't know. I believe, however, that all economists will agree that no evidence has yet ap peared to presage any Immediate substantial rise In average Income. "A man earning 160 a month could not be expected to look serious ly at a new car price tag bearing more than moderate sized numerals. This man. prior to the introduction of the Chevrolet Standard, bought what we call high priced used cars instead of new cars. This year, we have created the new Standard to of fer this income bracket a chance to own new car. Ttf achieve this pur ' pose the Standard has been priced low enough to enable anyone owning any kind of a used car to turn that car In as a substantial down-pay-tnent on the new Standard. Chevro let expects to build and sell more than 250.000 Standards this year. According to a bulletin received by pogue River Chevrolet. Incorporated, Irma the Motor statistical depart ment ol R. Ii. Polk & Company, Cet placed first In the oftlcla registration, and passenger car sales for 1934. Chevrolet's new car sales to tal, covering passenger cars for 193S, was 834.906 with the nearest com- petltor 530.628. A letter va . congratulating the Rogue .Mni.t Tnrornorated. upon Medford firm's contribution to this ales record, was sent by William e. Holler, general sales manager for the Chevrolet Motor Company.

In fact, there are more than one hundred -added feat urea on the new cars which were not on them last year. The Bulcks In clude such new features as more beautiful and refined Interiors, an Increased generator capacity which la ample for taking care of lights. Igni tion, heater, and radio without over taxing the battery, automatic start ing and an oil temperature regula tor. Public acceptance of Bulck's knee-action of course, made It Im perative to Include It on the '35 cars and probably It will meet even bet ter acceptance this year than It did last. An Item which should especially appeal to the new car buyer la the wide range of new colors which Bulck has made available. There nre ten added colors this year which should give the buyer a, much wldsr choice. According to salea represen tatives, this new Bulck has had very good acceptance from the public at all of the auto showa throughout the nation. We have Just seen the Chrysler Airflow Imperial today for the first time, and we were pleasantly aston ished at Its unusual luxury and spac iousness. This car is built especially for the discriminating buyer who re quires special refinements. For In stance, this car has Individual foot rests, arm rests In both front and rear seats, ash trays, two package compartments In the dash board, cigar lighter, two dome lights, assist cords In the rear, two sun visors, adjustable front seats, luggage com partment, and ventilating system. Just to mention a few. Two outstanding features of the chassis are the 130 horsepower eight cylinder engine and the overdrive which Is standard equipment on the Imperial Airflows. Very evidently the designers and en gineers of the Chrysler factory did not spare their talents when they created this car. Besides this Im perial, there are several new chnn. ler Alrstream sedans and coupes In town. Sir Mulrolm Campbell, during driver from across the seas, Is alreadv garnering new speed laurels, according lo word received here hy L. E. Laurln, ollmore branch manager.

TRANSMISSION IS AIRFLOW FEATURE BETTY GOW SUPS LADY WHO ANNOYS HER ABOARD LINER NEW YORK. Feb. 18. (AP) After turbulent embarkation. Betty aow, the dark haired Scotch nurse maid to the kidnaped baby, was at sea today on the liner Berengarla. en route home to her natlv: Scotland. Center of a whirlwind of excitement and confusion on the Cunard line pier, she ended a helter-skelter chase over the. liner with a punch to the ' Jaw of an over-curious woman by tander. TJnable to find her stateroom In the tourist class section. Miss Oow and her psrty of friends were fol lowed by an Increasing crowd of curious passengers and visitors up and down decks, first class quarters, tourist class and between decks. As the chsse Increased, a middle aged woman wearing glasses pushed her way through the crowd and snatched Mlsa Oow by the arm. 'Let's have a look at you," she demanded. "Let me alone." cried the now thoroughly harrassed young woman, and launched a small doubled fist to the woman's face. t .. A carload of new Dodge touring sedans arrived last week and we ner- sonally believe that these models are me moat beautiful cars Dodge makes, probably because of the sleek, trim llnea of the built-in trunk. Thta trunk Is an integral part of the body and no doubt would be extreme ly useful to anyone who does any amount of traveling because It pro vides so much added luggage space. Usually the spare tire la mounted Inside the trunk because It la In out of the' weather where It will not get wet and muddy, and the wheel mounting la so convenient to oper ate that It is extremely easy to take out and put back. Even though the tire and wheel, are mounted in the trunk, there is ample space for all the luggage of the average traveler. We are certain tb,at these new cars will meet immediate approval from the public. K. D. ROSS CO. HAS MEW FINANCE PLAN Home owners may now havn taint ing and redecorating financed on lib eral terms under the national hous ing act. according to the K. D. Ross company, distributors ,of Pittsburgh paint products. Mr. Ross says many local home owners have signified their Intentions of taking advantage of this new plan. Contracts may be arranged to run from twelve to thirty-six months. Chrysler has developed a new Syncro-Sllent transmission with quiet helical gears throughout, according to H. F. Lange, of Armstrong Motors, Inc., Chrysler dealers here. The ad vantages of this transmission are very pronounced in that it eliminates gear clashing by bringing the gears to the same rotating speed before the shift Is made and allows quick, smooth shifting from low to second and from second to high, or vloe-versa, at all driving speeds. Driving through traffic or through mountainous country Is easier be cause the downward shift from high to second can be made smoothly. gently and silently. This remarkable ease of control Is made possible by designing the trans mission so that, in addition to the customary constant meshing of the gears, there is a synchronizer used between high and second gears that equalizes the speed of each gear be fore they are engaged. The synchronizing device consists of a hub and ring. Teeth on the In side of the ring mesh with teeth on the outside of the hub at all times. When a shift la made to either high or second, the synchronizing device moves as a unit toward the gear to be engaged. The speed of the hub Is synchronized or made uniform with the speed of the gear by means of a conical clutch. The Internal gear or ring of the synchronizing unit Is then released from Its centrally lo cated position on the hub and the teeth engage In the teeth of the high or second speed gear. As the two are rotating at the same speed, the mesh Ing of these gears is effected with out clashing of teeth. Shifting through the gears can be done quietly and without effort by even the in experienced driver. One great advantage of the Syncro Sllent transmission Is that It la quiet at all speeds. The transmission gear teeth are cut at an angle. These are known as helical gears and are much more expensive than straight gears and their great advantage over spur gears Is that they are quiet in operation. Some cars have only helical second speed gears, others have helical low and second speed gears and spur re verse gears but Chrysler has helical gears throughout. Including reverse for quiet operation at all speeds. The Chrysler transmission is bum not only for quiet, easy operation but for long life as well. An Illustra tion of this can be seen in the liberal use of ball and roller bearings, there being a total of five in the trans mission, three straight roller and two ball type.
