HOOD RIVER GLACIER, THURSDAY, JANU RELIABLE QUALITY GOODS ALWAYS AT LOWER STORES 571 DEPART« Evolution of the new Chevrolet, which inade Its initial bow at the New York automobile show this mouth, and which is being displayed at the Mt. Hood Motor Co., was marked by hard, exacting yet inter esting labor extending over a period of more than a year. As far back as 1923 automotive and metallurgical experts started drawing plana for the uS'w automo bile. Sample cars were made, con taining the 40-odd new improvements, including disclutch, springs, axles, manifold, etc., and these cars were turned over to selected drivers work ing directly under the engineering staff for the hardest tests human in ■ ■ devise, ‘ ' >. Every detail genuity could in the new car was forced to prove .itself more than adequate for any demands it might be called upon to fulfill. The ___ new semi-elliptic springs un derwent harder usage than any ear owner could give them in five years. Day and night drivers tore over bumpy roads, taking railroad cross ings, ruta and inequalities at high speed. The drivers were working under orders to “bust those springs if you can.” «The new axles, front and rear, were subjected to similar trials. Ev ery strain expert drivers could think of was placed on the axles, which had already withstood severe labora tory tests. Stresses that ordinary driving never would «-a use were placed on the new channel steel frame and its five sturdy cross mem bers. • In fact every detail that is lncor- porated into the new Chevrolet was tested. Improved and re-test««d until it scored 100 per cent liefore it was adopted. In tills way it was possible for the Chevrolet «-ompany to go into quantity production at once, secure in the knowledge that its new line would more than niei't any require ments car owners would place on It.

The Hood River Garage has made several installations on other makes of spray ers. In speaking of the motor, Earl Franz says: . “It has abuntlance of power, and with the Bean pressure regulator and pressure control you use only the amount of hors^ power required to keep up the pressure -you are using. Experience has taught us that where motors are worked to capacity they are short lived, while motors which have an over power give long years of satisfaction. •Thia year is going to be one of the largest vears we have ever had in the sale of Bean sprayers. .Orders are coming in early and the demand for catalogues has been three times as great as any previous year. There is going to be a real shortage on sprayers, at least fof*a tini«'. Every sprayer -manufacturer is far behind in production at this early date, an«l late orders are not going to be tub'd until too late for the early sprays. We are endeavoring to perstfade all of our proxp«'ctlve purchasers to buy early ax It looks very much ax if the first spray application this season is to be a very important one. Every section of the country reports very heavy sales. -Factories are working on a night and day schedule.” A letter from the Bean Spray I’ump Co. «•overing the situation was received by the garage this week, in which the wiles manager says: “We are forced at this early date to go out In the open market and buy more raw material.

What he says, however, about conditions in the apple belts of Wash ington and Oregon are astouiffllng. Mr. Sears is quoted as stating that there Is discouragement and lack of interest in the aforementioned states, that there has been no increase in the production of apples there during the past five years and no new plantings made, and that growers have lost confidence and are taking leas care of their orchards than formerly. In Rie long run Prof. Sears things the worst days of competition from boxed, ap ples are over.
