Tomorrow Open House All Day. First showing of the - new 1039 Chevrolet will be made tomorrow in the ahowroom of the Rogue River Chevrolet, In conjunction with the initial nation-wide display of this popular low prloed car. In commenting upon the 11 Chevrolet sales slogan which reads "Only Chevrolet Gives Bo Much For So Little," C. M. Hurd, general man ager of the Rogue River Chevrolet, remarked, "Car buyers everywhere are going to get a real surprise when they see this new Chevrolet. Chevro let Is offering an almost unbelievable value a bigger car and the most beautiful low priced car ever design- "We cordially Invite everybody in Medford and vicinity to come In and see this remarkable new Chevrolet.

The two new Chevrolet aeries, de signed as the Master DeLuxe and the Master 85, are offered as embodying not only distinctive style but an even finer aggregate of performance, saf ety and comfort characteristics than that which made their predecessors sales leaders In 1938. The two mod els ... a Master DeLuxe four pas senger coupe with many distinctive features, and a Master 86 business coupe available on both chassis . . . are added for 1930. the sport coupe and cabriolet being discontinued. The major mechanical Improve ments for 1939 are the new vacuum gearshift with steering column con trol, optional on both series at nom inal extra cost, and the new perfected Knee-Action riding system on the Master, DeLuxe. This Improvement Includes an entirely new Knee-Action mechanism, triple- tested, precision built, and tailored as a unit to the car, to assure maximum riding com fort over all roads. The powerplant In both series Is the H me-proven Chevrolet 85-borsepower high-compression six-cylinder val vein-head engine, In which refinements Introduced In 1938 are continued, and additional refinements resulting in greater economy, durability, and ease of servicing, Incorporated for 1939. Improvements have been made In the Ignition and oiling systems, the oar buretor, , the Intake manifold ther mostatic control, the harmonic bal ancer, which Is now floated In rub ber, and the cooling system, which . now has self-adjusting permanently lubricated ball-bearing water pump. The diaphragm-type Tlptoe-matlc Clutch Introduced for 1938 la contin ued with Improvements, chief of which Is new provision for ventila tion. Outwardly, the new Chevrolet Is longer and lower In appearance. This Is accomplished by the new design of fenders, wheels, running boards, and hood, as well as by a new window treatment. The lower corners of the latter appear practically square, thus effecting a continuous straight-line appearance at tho bottom of the sld windows. The hood extends forward from the cowl In a smooth, unbroken surface, curving down gracefully at the front to meet the new radiator grille. The new construction of the top and side Rastyled and streamlined, the ruew 1939 Chevrolets also introduce major mechanical improvements contributing to safety, comfort, and operating ease. They are on dis play today in Chevrolet Dealers' salesrooms throughout the United States. panels, from a single piece of sheet steel without hinged or riveted Joint, accentuates Its clean-cut sleekness. New and larger headlamps are cra dled In the valleya between fender crowns and -hood, being mounted di rectly to low pads embossed In the fenders themselves. The lamps rue longer, larger In diameter, fartiier apart and closer to the ground than In 1938, and their new lenses light more of the road. The new mounting makes them less vulnerable to dam age, and reduces service costs In the event of excessive damage to fen ders. Horizontal and vertical ajust ment of the beam Is simple and pos itive, being accomplished from out side, above the fender. The 1939 wheels are new. They have four wide spokes Instead of eight narrower ones, as in 1938, and their design la flatter. These Is 5-8 Inch less distance between the tire wall and the hub cap crown, a feature which not only accentuates the flat ness of the wheel but protects the hub caps from flying gravel and from marring against high curbs. The cap la easier to remove, too, Its lock springs being more flexible. Cool Fire Fought WAYNOKA, Okla. (UP) Firemen fought a summer blaze under ideal conditions here.
