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.

From put ward appearance, the '3i
Bulcka are practically trie same as
last year's care but when one goes
below the surface there are many
new Improvements. 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.

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

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.
