PAGE TWO Dependable Dealers Use These Pages FUEL ECONOMY IN MOJO CUR Many Factors Enter Into Use of “Gas” in Automobiles. It Is obvious that fuel consump tion must be somewhat in propor tion to the power required to roll the car. says the Automobile DI pest. The fuel consumption will always be lower on rough roads, in snowy weather, or in hilly country, than with favorable road conditions. Excessive friction at any point in the power transmission system such as is created by braird ot transmission bands will also cause excessive fuel consumption. In cold weather the hot spot can l>c warmed up. and a condition of normal operation reached more quickly by driving the first quarter to one-half mile with th© spark wel’ retarded; this will heat up the ex haust and throw heat to the hot spot. For best economy in fuel, the spark lever should bb well advanced at medium and high speeds. It will tn* found that the engine will pull better at low speeds under heavy load If the spark is somewhat re tarded from the best level road driv ing position. The three remaining essential points for the best operation of the engine are - Flrjt—All cylinders should Lave full and «qual compression. This can be ascertained by nothing the resistance given by each cylinder when cranking slowly with tho igni tion switch off. Second —The spark plugs must be clean, and of the type originally furnished with tbe car; the spark plug gap should be 28-1000 of an inch or about the thickness of a worn dime. Thin!—The timer Huxst be clean and show a smooth track all around; vibrator iioints should also be clean and have proper adjust ment. —Automobile Digest. MMFEATURES TO OCCUPY ATTENTION AT CHICAGO AUTO SHOW CHICAGO. Jan. 26—Public in terest in the 24th.*Annua) National AutomJbilo show ‘at the Coliseum in Chicago, has,been stimulated to an unusual degree by- tho many new mechanical developments which have made their appear unco during the p ast few months. Among these are: Front wheel brakes, balloon tires, new types of high ’compression motors, radical changes in body design and many others too numerous to mention. The Yellow Cab Manufacturing Co., builders of tho famous Yel'ow Cab, which is standard equipment in use by moro than 750 fleet op erators throughout tho world, is credited with being among tho first to pioneer tho use of small dia meter wheels and large crcss-sec tlon “air cushion tires.’’ After two .years’ experimenting on tho streets of Chicago, I’itLsburgh and San Francisco, these were adopted as standard equipment on Yellow y?abs early in 1923.

How We Spend Your Money in building Studebaker cars Why people buy 150,000 yearly IT is true that we spend lavishly on Studebaker cars. But it's all to your advantage. It is by that spending that we give you the greatest value in the fine-car field. We offer prices no one matches on any comparable cars. That lavish spending led people last year to pay $200,000,000 tor Studebaker cars. And that volume brings our prices down to where they are. $50,000,000 in plants Studebaker assets are $90,000,000. In modem plants and equipment we have $50,000,000. Seventy per cent . of that amount was spent in the past seven years. So it represents the last word in equipment. $8,000,000 in drop forge plants, so every vital part is made to Studebaker standards. $10,000,000 in body plants, so Studebaker ideals may be shown in every body. All that is staked in a permanent way on satis fying fine-car buyers bet ter than our rivals. What extras cost Lack of vibration is a famous Studebaker fea ture. We get that by ma chining crank shafts as they were in Liberty Air plane Motors. That extra cost is over $600,000 yearly. Matchless endurance is another famous feature. One Studebaker Six, still in active use, has run 475,000 miles since 1918. We get that through costly steels. On some we pay 15% i bonus to makers to get formulas exact. Beauty of finish is another su premacy. But that finish requires many operations, including 15 coats i of paint and varnish. Our real leather cushions cost $25 per car over imitation leather. < Every Studebaker car is Timken equipped.
