used, 13.3 gallons of gasoline on the
353 mile trip from the Southern Cal
ifornia starting point to the terminal
goal In the valley.
An average of 26 68 miles per gallon
was attained by the Supercharger.
Graham Crusader, competing with
popular low-priced cars, won first
place In Class 3A.
The value of the Supercharger has
long been known to engineers.
Airplane engines, racing cars and
speed motor boats have been equip
ped with Superchargers for the past
seven years.
Application of the supercharging
principal Into stock automobiles has
been pioneered by Graham. Cars of
this manufacture hnve used It for
three years.
"The conception has existed in
some circles that supercharging
methods encouraged greater use of
gasoline." according to Herbert D
Bell, Graham distributor. "And the
Gllmore-Los Angeles -Yosemlte Econ
omy run should once and for all dis
pel this misconception.
"The Graham Supercharger." Bell
declared, "forces a thoroughly atom
ized uniform mixture into each cylin
der under pressure which completely
fills each cylinder and consequently
produces more power when com
pressed and exploded.
"In the case of Graham, the super
charger actually Increases the engine
power 33 per cent. Without the super
charger the horsepower rating la 85;
with the supercharger It la 113!"
Bell gives due credit to Gilmore
gasoline for Graham's splendid vic
tories and lauds the courage of Earl
Gilmore In sponsoring the even,
which brought thirty of America's
fine cars Into competition under
equal conditions.

1936 Advertising
Drive in Papers
Once again placing leading news
papers among Its major medium of
advertising, and assigning an Import
ant place on the list to the Medford
Mall Tribune. Oeneral ePtroleum cor
poration has Just Inaugurated Its 1936
advertising campaign with the state
ment that newspaper space will be
used quite regularly and consistently
throughout the year. Such Is the In
formation given out by T. M. Hlgglna.
district manager for the firm, who
says:
Based on statistics which have
Just been compiled. X am informed
that 1930 recorded mora progress for
General Petroleum corporation than
many of the years In which It has
been engaged in business throughout
far western states. Admitting, of
course, that the company waa de
pendent on business conditions In
general, plus quality and acceptance
of its products and the personnel
which makes up the corporation, a
fair share of Its progress la attributed
to consistent and successful newspa
per adve- Ung.
"Therefore, it la but logical that
the Mail Tribune and other leading
newspapers would be selected to carry
the company's 1036 message to the
motoring public. The campaign start
ed with use of moderate sized space
in January to grow slightly larger
and more frequent In February. The
schedule provides for more dominat
ing space in March and other months
of the year, when the touring season
Is on in earnest.
"General ePtroleum la grateful for
a ftubfttantlal Increase during the past
year lu tha volume of Its gasoline,
oil and greases dispensed to the mo

service stations. It Is pertinent that
the largest Increases In volume were
recorded tn Mobllgas and Moblloll,
the two products exclusively featured
In newspaper advertising space many
times throughout the year. Thla In

Is It the money?
Time payments on a Buick art but two

car usually calls for.
Is It the upkeep?
Buick it a big comfortable car that
gives small-car pas mileage, small-car
mileage on oil. You'll keep a Buick at
' least a year longer than you'll keep a
lesser car and probably spend less on
