FEBRUARY 24, 1,935. lEEKSE ;1?Tb . , 1 jWv-!! v- SALE OF PONTIAC In the month of January rewntly eloMd, more new Pont lac tlxe and WjjhU were delivered at retail In the United State than during any pre vious January aince 1928, according to H. J. Kllnglor, president and en ral manager of Pontlac Motor com pany. The figure ahow a total of 7390 retail deliveries thli year compared with 3567 for January 1934 and fi3i6 for January 1933. In other word, deliveries thl year are 300 per cent over January last year and almost m great as the two previous Janu arys combined. More cars were delivered during the final tn days or January than during all of January lat year and unfilled orders from dealers have gone up 83B6 since December 31st. Shipments Into the export field have shown an even more remarkable gain with a total for January this year of 1588 against 232 for the month hurt year and 235 for Janu ary 1033. Production or 1035 models through December and January has been more than double the production of 1934 ears in the same two months a year ago. As to the future. Mr KHngler of fers the prediction that Pontlac will build and sell at retail more cars In February than It did In any month pf 1934. "These figures are all the more remarkable," said Mr. KHngler, "when you consider that the so-called auto mobile buying season Is only begin ning. Big deliveries usually do not start until March. Our unusual sales at such an early period In the year Indicates two very definite things. First, of courae, the new Pont lacs dare received an almost unprecedent ed acceptance and there i a marked loosening of the public purse string brought about by a renewed feeling of confidence and by the huge ex penditure of money for public work and by the major national relief measures. "There are dealers 1n every section pf the country 'who are selling more pars than they did during all of last frear. "Up In Superior, Wise., with the temperature averaging some 25 de grees below Eero, In January, the Pontlac dealer whose biggest January up to date had been five retail sales has taken orders for the Immediate delivery of eleven new cara In the knonth Just closed. "Last year a small dealer In South Dakota sold seventeen Pontlaca dur lag the year and we had twelve months In which to make the de liveries. This year the same dealer booked orders for thirteen cars dur ing the first two weeks of the month and has been doing t very thing under heavens to get delivery on all thir teen cara at once.

Goodyear Perfects Safety Tube VENT HOLE the tube Is of radically different con struction than anything previously attempted. It consists of a "double tube," one Inside the other and Joined together at the base, with a single vent hole connecting the two air chambers. The outside tube la similar in function and appearance to a regu lar tube and fits against the Inside of the casing, while the Inside tube or "lung." built of two piles of fab ric, floats free without chafing. In flation is conducted ln the usual manner, the vent hole permitting air to pass from the Inner chamber to the outer chamber so that in ordi nary service the Inner carcass Is under no strain, but simply floats free Inside the tube. When s blowout occurs the air escapes from the outside chamber Immediately but can escape from the Inner chamber only through the single small vent hole. Thus only a portion of the air Is lost In the blowout and the tire drops down slightly to ride on the Inner fabric carcans. which loses its air very slowly. This permits the car to con- i tlnue under perfect control, giving the driver ample time to pull oft the road and stop without endan gering himself, has car or the lives of other motorists. In effect, the new tube converts a sudden blow out into a slow leak. Prior to the official demonstra tion here hundreds of tests were conducted by Goodyear drivers in which tires were blown out at high speeds by. using dynamite caps, by running over a plate studded with huge railway spikes and by other means but each time the tub"" al lowed the driver to continue on a straight course down the highway In absolute control of the car and without the violent swerving attend ing the blowout of an ordinary tube. The tube Is believed by Goodyear officials and by the officials wit nessing the demonstrations to be one of the most Important contribu tions to the safety of motoring that has been made in the past decade. trnnnv nthpr the Nflw York dem onstrations were witnessed by Arthur Williams, presiaent 01 we American Museum of Safety; Julian Harvey.

Gates Auto company have Just placed a new Ford touring sedan on their display floor. You, of course, know that this car Is merely a four-door sedan with a built-in trunk. In this new car the Inside length la not shortened as It Is In some cars, however, the regular lug gage compartment that la In all Ford sedans la now eliminated and Is re placed by the bullt-ln trunk. This touring sedan, which Is the highest priced Ford model made. Is now up holstered In a new type of material which Is usually only found on the more expensive automobiles. The Packard Motor company has recently announced a new low-priced Packard which is called the One Twenty. This car Is priced moder ately, which Is something entirely new for Packard. It has many fea tures such as hydraulic brakes, full pressure lubrication, silent synchro- mesh, double acting hydraulic shock absorbers, and Packard Safe-T-fle-X Independent wheel suspension. The Interior refinements Include such features as a ventilating system, sun vlaors, windshield wipers, ash-trays, rob rails, toggle grips, foot rests, and locked pscksge compartment. We personally believe that this new Pack ard will receive a much better re ception than any car the Packard Motor company hss ever produced. Our reasons for believing this are be cause of Its very smart lines, Its large size and Its low price. In speaking of prices, It seems to be the general tendency of competi tion to run along the lines of prices this year. Apparently there will be much sales-talk for low prices snd also for features of comfort. This year's Reo Flying Cloud la quite a departure from previous Reos In Its body design. The lines are very round and smooth and are fin ished off with a sweeping rear end. The car has also adopted the narrow radiator which has become all the rage this year. Other features are a 90 horse-power engine, full pressure lubrication, and hydraulic brakes. The equipment Includes safety glaas windshield, two windshield wipers, two sun visors, glove compartment, dual tall lamps, foot rests, and robe rails. t Phone 543. Well haul away your refuse.

But the lady waa wrong. Those grilles, so adroitly located that they Just "belong" there, serve a different purpose. Behind them are the places for mounting signal horns. As the attendant put It "It's one of those three-birds-wlth -one -stone Ideas. It takes the horn from under the hood where It clutters up the engine and wastes part of Its loud ness; It places the algnal where H belongs, out in front: and It afforded the body designers an opportunity to do, at one stroke, something use ful and ornamental. ' "So, ladles and gentlemen, thoss louver affairs of the new Dodge are the horn grilles I" 1 Home portraits of family groups and children at Special Prices. Shangle Studio. Phone 1308.

A new tube for automobile tires proved conclusively to police and safety officials during a demonstra tion at Floyd Bennett Field. New York, that it ellminntps the serious accidents that follow a blowout at hlt-h speed. A number of tires were purposely blown out at 60 miles per hour on a car roaring down the runways of the airport and In every case the new tube allowed the driver to bring the car to a stop In a normnl manner under complete con trol.
