This is going to be a bitter disappointment to the tens of thousands of Airflow owners who had thought they owned the easiest riding car in the world, and the many manufacturers who have adapted this new principle in one form or another to their 1935 models. Tt fs natural that some manufacturers should be leaders in the fSutomobdile business, just as it is natural that others, due to lack of sufficient capital or engineering facilities must be followers. In self-defense the followers are forced to discredit new designing to protect their own merchandise. It is interesting to remember that Chrysler pioneered four wheel brakes 11 years ago, and that at that time the automobile manufacturer whose product our local “White Elephant” friend is now selling, ran full page advertisement in the national newspapers stating that these new brakes were no good. Later they were forced to adopt four wheel brakes themselves. His- tory repeats itself! CORWIN-CHURCHILL MOTORS, INC. HE WAS ALMOST To THE GROUND! HE CALLED IT Chrysler Plymouth THERE!

Eleven years ago these men founded a new type of news-magazine, “Time.” Their orig- inal circulation of 25,000 has grown to more than 500,000, Five years ago they began another magazine, “For- tune,” which despite the depression, hhas acquired more than 100,000 sub- Seribers at $10 a year. Four years ‘ago they began a radio program “The March of Time.” In the National Radio Editor's Poll, conducted by the N. Y. World-Telegram, this was vot- ed the best dramatic program on the air, Now they offer “The March of Time” on the screen. ‘Administration Hits Old Age Pension Plan Washington, Feb. 5.—()—The ad- ministrat age pension plan, telling a house com- mittee that it would “stop all busi- ness” and probably bring “wholesale inflation.” statement to that effect was sub- to the ways and means com- by Dr. Edwin E.
