30 Chevrolet models last week
came right at the close of Chev­
rolet’s greatest year, for the
sensational success of the six-
cylinder
Chevrolet introduced
just a year ago, resulted in an
output of 1,350,000 cars this
year breaking by a wide margin
all former Chevrolet annual pro­
duction records.
In making public Chevrolet's
plans for 1930, W. S. Knudson,
president and general manager
declared that with the improve­
ments incorporated in the new
car, Chevrolet was anticipating
a volume of business that will
equal, if not surpass, the phe­
nomenal record of 1929. And,
in order to accomodate an ear­
ly demand production is being
speeded with all haste consist­
ent with the precision methods
for which Chevrolets manufactur­
ing operations are famous.
Scores of distinct improve­
ments have been made in the
1930 Chevrolet line, the factory
announces. Greater beauty, ad­
ded safety factors, improved
riding comfort and better all­
round performance with added
power and faster acceleration
are announced as features of
the new line.
Larger tires, small wheels,
Delco-Lovejoy hydraulic shock
absorbers at all four wheels,
windshield and vastly improved
four wheel braking system are
some of the highlights.
Brakes are of the internal ex­
panding “articulated shoe type,' >»
both front and rear, those on
front wheels having two shoes
while those on the rear have
four, These brakes, also, are
fully enclosed giving protection
against water and dirt.
The attractive new closed bo-
d:es, in a variety of colors, car­
ry the famous Fisher stamp of
craftsmanship.
Eight
models,
three of which are new to
Chevrolet, comprise the line.
Of the eight, five are closed and
three are open. The closed cars
are the sedan, coach, coupe,
sport coupe and club sedan.
The open models are the road­
ster, sport roadster and phaeton.
The models new to the line this
year are the sport coupe, sport
roadster and club sedan.
The six cylinder valve-in-head
engine introduced a year ago,
nfter four years of research and
development has been further
improved and * refined. Since the
introduction of the six • year
ago, test cars have run up more
than a million miles of driving
at the General Motors proving
ground in the working out and
the justifying of the improve­
ments of the 1930 car. All the
resources of the General Motors
research laboratories and the
Chevrolet experiment laboratory
The name "Passion Play," has
been given the plays representing
(lie passion of Christ. These plays
became numerous between the Thir­
teenth and Sixteenth cetnuries, es-
|>e<-lully in Germany and the Tyrol.
The most Important survival Is one
that takes place every tenth year
in the village of Oberammergau In
the Bavarian highlands.
Art of Giving
He who gives things only gives
little. The real part of any pres­
ent Is the Imaginative sympathy
through which one has understood
and responded to a desire In some
other human being and has put
something of one's self Into the
choice of that which will gratify
this desire.—Woman's Home Com­
panion.

Gold heating Is an art that can
not be done other than by band.

many layers of It are placed be­
