after the first Chevrolet Six was delivered to the pub
lic, the Chevrolet factories are producing 6,000 cars a
day. As a result, more than a quarter-million new
Chevrolet Sixes have been delivered to date—and this
tremendous popularity is increasing every day! If you

OAKLAND SETS SALES
RECORD IN FEBRUARY
Setting a new high record for the
month, the Oakland Motoi> Car Co.,
during ebruary sold 28,369 new Oak
land and Pontiac sixes, according lo
figures reported to the National Auto
mobile Chamber of Commerce.
This compares with 25,786 units
sold during the same month last year
and 9,403 in ebruary 1927. It also
shows an increase of more than fifty
per cent over the output in January
of this year.
Current production schedules point
i to a new all-time monthly record dur
i ing March in view of the popular fa
j vor which the new Oakland Ail-Amer
ican Six and the new Pontiac Bix Six
are enjoying. February came close to
achieving this end, the record month
having been June 1928 with a total
output of 29,477 cars.
Production facilities of the company
are now keyed to peak capacity, two
Oakland assembly lines and three Pon
tiac lines turning out finished cars at
the highest speed consistent with pre
cision manufacturing methods. To
keep production abreast of the public
demand,

CAR OWNERSFACE A
POSSIBLE $100 FINE
Thousands of Montana Motorists Us
ing Old Auto Licenses May Da Ar
rested an*.! Penalized Under State
Law.
Virtually every motorist in Montana
who, since last January 1 has operated
an automobile • without 1929 license
plates displayed thereon is guilty of
misdemeanor and liable to a maxi
mum fine of $100, according to an
opinion rendered by Montana's attor
ney general.
County Gets Copy
A copy of the attorney general's
letter has been received by the county
commissioners. It directs attention- to
section 1759 of the Montana statutes,
which provides that application for
registration of motor vehicles must be
filed with the registrar not later than
January 1 of each year.
The provisions of chapter 123 of the
session laws of 1927, imposing a 10
per cent penalty on applications fr r
registration filed, after April 30 do
not operate, the attorney general says
to extend time fo ; registration except
in the case of ce. caln spec fie axemp
lions made by lew. —
Thousands Are Liable
Therefore anyone not included in
the specific exemptions, which affect
only a small percentage, who operates
a motor vehicle after January 1 of
any year without' having obtained
license and displayed the plates for
that year upon his machine, is liable
to the penalties provided by section
1762, Mr. Foot concludes.
Section 1762 reads in part:
"The violation of any of the pro
visions of this act shall constitute
misdemeanor, punishable by a fine
not exceeding $100.

By Hans Rasmussen
The lagt six years j have eac h year
given tb e taxpayers a public state
ment s h 0 wing the financial conditions
of Road and Bridge funds at January
each something I was
> elf and for that rea
thought that others probably al
s h
' Roa ^ and 'Bridge funds are in re
aBt two separate funds but money
j \ ti juggled from one fund to
wi Ä doing any harm, as
the m in the two funds is prac
tically tended to be used for the
game purp0S es. The figures I am go
ing to giv ® yo " are not for ^ach fund
separa t e but for the two funds to
gether treated as one. In that way
we wiu not have s0 maay f lgU res and
get a be tter understanding,
When I took over the surveyor's of
^ce six years ago, after Mr. Link,
the road and bridge fund was about
$ 40,000 in the hole. 1 do not know!
j ust how j had go tten the foolish idea
in ^ 0 my head but j actually thought ;
at ^_ be dme that the taxpayers of the:
county would be better off if the
county could get out of debt and out |
of the hole it was in. The last elec
tion showed plain that my idea was
altogether too old-fashioned and I
apologize for it, I simply did not
know any better,
I We skimped along the best we could
the first four years, not only did we
pull out of the hole a little each year
but alter the four years the road and
bridge fund was over $17,000.00 to the
good. Some of us were rather prou
over the showing made, not knowing
any better.
In 1927, the county commissioners
spent $18,000.00 more than they were
taking in in taxes, leaving the road
and bridge toon in the hole * aheu*
$1,000.00. That year they bougnt a.
ItA of machinery at fancy prices.
Last year, 1928, they spent
$49,000.00
amounted to, leaving road and bridge
funds in the hole $50,000.00—lo . e
exact $49,961.25.
licenses amounted to $69,147.77, bat
was spent on road and
bridge work than they did in 1927 —
the year the n achinery was bought.
Just how it was done I do not know,
but where there is a will there is a
way and the Inst election showed that
the people of Sheridan County appre
cialed what the county commissioners
had done for them by running the
road and bridge fund over $49,000.00
in the hole in one year.

l^rld's Easiest Driving Control
TNJO OTHER CAR in all the world
controls quite so easily—with
such complete lack of effort—-as the
new Nash "400".
Nash engineers have developed a
new steering mechanism to achieve
this result. An ingenious arrangement
of roller bearings and a roller-tooth
traveling in a worm gear, reduces fric
tion to a minimum hitherto thought
impossible.
Women drivers find new help and
gain new confidence in parking. Little
effort is needed to bring the "400
up to, or away from, the curb.
Gear shifting is just as easy. JThe
400" clutch pedal depresses at a
touch, scarcely resisting the weight of
your foot. The conveniently placed
shifting lever moves smoothly, easily,
from one speed to another,
j If you ever find that driving a car
tires you, try driving a. Nash "400".
It will give you an entirely new con
ception of how effortless, how pleas
urable, motoring can be!
