New Graham Gives
Startling Mileage
An ordinary fruit glass Jar plays
an Important part In the gasoline
economy tests conducted by engin
eers of the Grnham-Palge Motora
corporation to determine the funl
economy of the Graham six, accord
ing to Walter W. Abbey, Medford
Oraham dealer.
The Jar is attached to the instru
ment panel of the car and is con
nected by a tube to the fuel pump.
It contains one quart of gasoline and
la in full view of the driver. Thus,
the quart of gasoline is measured
against the speedometer reading to
determine exactly the mileage ob
tained. The results of these teste proved
to be startling, showing 24 miles to
a gallon at 35 miles an hour and
20.4 miles at 60 miles an hour. These
tests were made in cold weather at
average winter tpmnpraturpn. it. was
indicated that the results would be
improved considerably in warm
weather.
Mr. Abbey reports that Robert Pla
harty of the Timber Products com
pany and Jay Giese of the Standard
Oil company purchased new Graham
sedans last week. G. E. -Carpenter of

Automobile officials face a problem
today that is quite different from
what they have become accustomed
to during the last few years. Every
answer to the question "How's bust
ness?" brought a pause and, if ans
wered at all, a flock of figures that
carried minus signs as a prefix, ac
cording to R. A. Skinner, local Pon
tlac dealer.
Mr. Skinner says: "H. J. Klingler.
president of Pontlac Motor company,
has a new kind of trouble today , . .
"happy trouble." that needs no cry
ing towels. His problem is to aupply
cars to keep up with orders, and so
It Is "happy trouble."
With the introduction of two new
sixes to Its line of eights this year.
Pontlac salesmen have become order
blank clerks. There Is no telling bw
many Pontiacs could have been de
livered so far this year if Mr. Kling
ler and his staff had known what
an avalanche of buying they were
going to be up against. Anyway, In
January 'deliveries were 7390 against
2584 in the same month last year.
February's figures are more than
10,732 which is higher than the best
month last year, and Mr. Klingler
expects to have at least 130,000 new
Pontiacs on the road, and perhaps
150.000 by the end of the year.
One thing about Mr. Klingler, his
figures are respected. Sales expec
tancy figures that he set up during
the depression and which conserva
tive minds considered rash, were ex
ceeded. He was appointed president
of Pontlac about one and one-half
years ago, and the car Is the second
"best seller" of all General Motors
makes.
He calls the 1935 model his "first
baby" . . . with its distinctive silver
streak hood and narrow ribbons of
chromium running from the bottom
of the radiator to the windshield.

all in individual crates.
The Packard One Twenty, the low
priced car the Packard Motor com
pany has Introduced this year, has
most all of the traditional features
of a Packard and also several new
Improvements never before found on
a Packard. The more Important ones
are the Safe-T-flex independent
spring suspension and the hydraulic
braking system, The Packard spring
suspension utilised a coil spring,
similar to that used list year by
General Motors and Chrysler, and
torque-arm construction. The latter
prevents side-sway and Increases the
safety of the car. This type of wheel
suspension provides a softer ride,
positive wheel alignment, and easier
control at any speed. Another out.
standing feature of this Safe-T-flex
is that there are only two
points requiring lubrication and
both of them are easily accessable.
The new Packard braking system has
hydraulic brakes for service tise and
mechsntcol for emergency. The hy
draulic brakes use the momentum of
the car to help In stopping the car
and very little pressure Is required to
operate them. Other Important feat
ures of this new car are: full-pressure
lubrication, silent syncro-mesh
transmlslon. hydraulic double acting
shock absorbers, and automatic
choke.
A car that has been receiving con
siderable attention is a Chrysler

Low Price and Fine Performance

COMES THE V-8 ENGINE TO
POWER THE MOST .ECONOMI
CAL FORD CAR EVER BUILT
The Ford V-8 occupies a distinctive place among
automobiles. There is no way to compare it with
any other car because there is no other car like it.
The Ford enables you to step up into the 6ne-car
class in performance, beauty, comfort and safety. But
there is no stepping up in price; That is kept down
by Ford low-profit policies and unique manufactur
ing methods. These are as different as the car itself.
What the Ford has done lis to establish a new stand
ard of value. Fine-car performance isn't limited to
the well-to-do these days. The Ford V-8 has made it
possible for the average motorist to have the kind of
car that used to be beyond his reach.
It takes eight cylinders to give modern perform
ance. And the Ford is powered by a V-8 the finest
type of eight-cylinder engine. You have to pay more
than 32000 for that in any other car
