eee ogee eee WORN AFTER DARK "IN GLEVER STYLES fakes on Glamor to Vie With Silk for Style Spotlight At Winter Resorts By NEA Sservice Miami, Fla.—Gingham and satin will attend the same parties this spring and tulle will dine in com- pany with pique, to judge by the after dark styles which- feminine resort Jeaders are introducing at festivities here, There seems to be no com- mon denominator for the starlight styles which smart Miami already is wearing and which will be putting in an appearance at northern dinners and dances before many more weeks have passed. Slim frocks of printed linen, styled like beach dresses, bouffant gowns of pleated tulle and chiffon and tailored models of printed silk and lace are seen in the same gatherings. If any one trend is uppermost it is the mas- culine mode expressed in dinner frocks that resemble tuxedos. In the glamorous mood of spring, tulle capes collared with ruffs of flowers accompany many of the eve- ning ensembles of women whose clothes influence styles. An interest- 4ng introduction of the season is the ‘use of quilted organza combined with crepe for dinner gowns. An example of this is an ensemble of jonquil yel- low crepe with blouse of quilted brown marganza and tailored coat of the crepe. Another type of evening gown has for a skirt a drifting cloud of mid- night blue marganza sprinkled with tiny silver stars. Striped marganza is also seen with increasing frequency end glazed flowered chintz makes de- lightfully summery evening frocks that are an excellent choice for the more feminine type. And, of course, no spring and sum- ‘mer evening panorama would be com- plete without the figured crepes. The majority of these frocks are simply fashioned and many stress the stitched collars and pockets charac- 16 : GINGHAM WILL BE ie es Adds to Econ omy and Comfort . Oldsmobile passengers will enjoy greater comfort, and the owners will find greater economy in the new 1936 cars. New, light but harder pistons and other improvements will permit more mileage to the gallon of fuel, while better weight distribution will bring easier riding for all. Outside, the Oldsmobile has a more refined, more graceful appearance. OLDSMOBILE IS EMPHASIZING COMFORT, SAFETY, ECONOMY Super-Hydraulic Brake, Alloy Pistons, Ride Stabilizer Enhance Action Oldsmobile will introduce at the Bismarck automobile and style show next Thursday, Friday and Saturday, March 26-28, two 1936 models, the Oldsmobile six and the Oldsmobile straight: eight. Fleck Motor Sales, Inc., is Olds- mobile dealer in Bismarck. “Truly quality cars at remarkably low prices” is the way they were de- scribed by C. L, McCuen, Oldsmobile president and general manager, in making the announcement, Every proved mechanical feature which adds to comfort, safety, econ- omy or performance is engineered into the 1936 Oldsmobile, he said. Style leadership is maintained and augmented by a smart, new design and luxurious interior appointments. Streamlining Emphasized “Oldsmobile in 1936 is characterized by every feature which adds to the fteristic of sportswear. Figured taffeta will be widely worn this spring and summer, judging from its popularity here and lace shirt- maker types of dinner frocks are in the wardrobe of the majority of the younger matrons as well as the debu- tantes in the smart resort set. * Along the Highways | Sometimes worn bearings in the starting motor cause the armature to rub; this can be ascertained with- out removing the motor by holding @ small piece of iron or steel against the outside of the housing while someone steps on the starter but- ton. If the gauge is attracted to the housing, the armature is rubbing. Wider bodies, with running boards eliminated, feature many of the new automobiles being manufactured in’ France, Refineries employing modern equip- ment waste less than 1 per cent of the crude oil processed. Only one person in 35 of the pop- ulation in England owns a motor car. A disappearing top which slips in- Bide the rear deck is featured on one of the newer French cars. Skidding is said to be eliminated on cast-iron pavements, which are now being used experimentally in some British cities. An Ontario dentist travels the sparsely settled section of that province in a small bus converted into a complete dental clinic. A huge amphibian tank has been designed for use in tropical jungles, being driven as a tractor while ashore, quality of an automobile,” said Mr. McCuen. “The exterior beauty speaks for itself, keeping Oldsmobile far in the forefront in style streamlining.” Principal among those features which are found on the new Oldsmo- bile are superhydraulic brakes, self- equalizing and self-energizing, which stop a car swiftly and surely and smoothly. Knee-action wheels, which smooth bumps from the road, permitting the same comfortable ride for passengers in the rear seat as is given those in the front seat. Solid steel “turret top” body by Fisher, providing protecting walls of steel above, below and on every side. Safety Glass Standard Safety glass standard equipment throughout in all models. i Center control steering, giving an ease of handling impossible under any other steering system. Ride stabilizer, which “straightens out the curves” by eliminating car sway while rounding turns at high speed, if Hardened aluminum alloy pistons, electrically treated to make them far harder and more durable than those fashioned from ordinary aluminum. ‘These pistons reduce oil consumption, minimize carbon deposits, lengthen bearing life and greatly lessen the Possibility of scoring cylinder walls. Engine Performance Smooth Smooth engine performance, mate- rially improved by the use of the light-weight pistons in conjunction with an especially heavy counter- weighted crankshaft, and tri-cushion engine mountings of rubber bonded to steel. The Oldsmobile six engine de- velops ninety horsepower; that of the eight 100 horsepower. Increased gasoline economy through an improved method of spark control. An anti-percolating device which |. prevents gasoline in the carburetor float bowl from being forced out of the carburetor bowl after a long run in hot weather. Weight distribution so that all pas- sengers ride comfortably between the axles, All silent syncro-mesh transmission, with quiet, easy shifting in all gears. Striking new design, sweeping in one graceful curve from bumper to bumper, marks the 1936 Oldsmobile. Oldsmobile in 1936 presents an en- tirely new treatment of the front end without sacrificing any identifying characteristics. Headlamps, mounted high, likewise add distinction. The effect is round- ed out by the heavy, sturdy bumpers and bumper guards. On the Eight, graceful parking lamps are mounted on the front of the car. UNUSUAL, PRACTICAL. MOTOR AIDS PUSHED 1936 Accessories Will Adorn and Safeguard as a Contri- bution to Transportation New, unusual and exceptionally useful, the 1936 accessories are cer- tain to take their place along with the cars they will adorn and safe- guard as another important contri- bution to the comfort and security of personal transportation. New offer- ings range from a midget brake test- er that attaches to the steering post | ini to a device that enables you to sy- phon gas from the car of a motorist who offers to help when your car has run out of gas. Almost all accessor- ies in more general use have been re- vamped for 1936, particularly those designed to aid safety. Typical of the safety developments is the steering wheel ring which, used in place of the conventional horn button, makes it possible to sound the horn without removing your hands from the steering wheel rim. The leverage effect of the ring makes it certain that the sound will be pro- duced the instant it is required. A new double inner tube also helps safe- ty. Its inner casing, made up of two layers of fabric, prevents immediate escape of all the, air in event of a blowout or bad puncture. Tube for Hot Air To safeguard those who must be at the wheel during an ice-storm, a heater firm is presenting a minia- ture fan which, when attached to the upper side of the steering post, directs a flow of hot air against the inside of the windshield. One of the hew heater models is equipped with a special front to which can be attached a tube to direct hot air toward the windshield. Several devices are designed to aid in starting the engines on frigid mornings. Three of them use dry batteries which operate in conjunc- tion with the starter motor to deliver extra voltage when the battery is low. An inexpensive starting aid uses ordinary flashlight batteries and is automatic to a point where the driver does not even have to flip a switch to bring the booster into action when needed.

Madame Nicole shows tailored suits, to be sure, but they are fashioned from suave, rather stiff taffeta-like fabrics and are teamed up with blouses and jabots as frilly and soft as a southern belle'’s dance dress. One typical Nicole suit, is especial- ly flattering and spring-like. It in- cludes a straight, trim skirt’ which fastens on the side and is finished with scallops along the closing, and a nipped-in-at-the-waist jacket with pointed lapels and rather tight sleeves. The white mousseline blouse has a pleated jabot that falls outside the jacket. It is topped with a wide- brimmed Breton. The evening gowns in the Nicole collection are as untailored as clothes possibly can be. Chiffons, nets and mousselines are stressed. Most of them, apparently designed to arouse every protective instinct your part- ner has, float and billow about your feet, but mold your figure from the knees upward. Halter bodices—de- mure across the front and all-reveal- ing at the back—are featured. Even street dresses, simply and beautifully cut, of course, are lavish- ly decorated with charming lingerie Twenty-Two Years of good mechanical service and honest dealings with our cus- tomers have made ours the oldest and largest automobile busi- ness in this territory. We are very proud of this reputation. It is our sincere wish that we continue to merit it. This should mean a great deal to our customers, and to every. automobile owner who has not yet taken advantage of our su- perior service facilities. It is something that cannot be pur- chased with money. It is more valuable to our customers than any written guarantee, because we must uphold an honorable business reputation by continued good work. Service such as ours is not easy to establish. It costs a lot of money. For instance, our Service Superintendent is the’ highest paid we have ever heard of in any garage anywhere. His.assistance on each job is given free to our customers. Naturally a shop mechanic must be good to work under him. .. . So much for man power—now for equipment. Do you realize it costs about $20,000.00 to equip a garage such as ours with tools and machinery to SAVE TIME on the jobs? As an example, we re- cently spent $1,500.00 for exclusive rights on a Bee Line frame straightener and axle aligner. This outfit has already saved our customers thousands of dollars be- cause we can repair parts that other shops must throw away and replace with new, and because it is the only method ever devised to align a front axle perfectly. We mention this just to show what we furnish our customers. We advertise “Com- plete Service Under One Roof,” and we have it. It means we don’t have to run all over town wasting time getting odds and ends done in other shops. IF YOU DON’T TRADE WITH US, DO YOU PATRONIZE A SHOP THAT OFFERS YOU THIS KIND OF SERVICE AND EQUIPMENT? If not, why do you go there? Now let’s consider automobile values for just a moment. The man who buys either a Chrysler or a Chrysler-built Plymouth, should know that he owns a car actually several years in advance of other makes. Perhaps this sounds foolish to you, but let’s consider some facts. In 1924 Chrysler pioneered hydraulic four-wheel brakes. All the other large automobile factories fought the idea and said they would not work. Today only ONE CAR in big production is still using mechanical brakes, and they can’t hold out much.longer against popular demand. . . . Here’s another fact— In 1924 Chrysler introduced his famous rubber engine mountings, and all the other factories had to pay him a royalty to get the right to use them. abandoned his old rubber mountings and announced his sensational patented FLOAT- ING POWER, a method of two-point engine mounting that ABSOLUTELY elimi- nated all vibration from the body of the car. This patent is so valuable no other factory has been permitted to copy it, and as a result these other factories are still paying Chrysler a royalty on the old rubber mountings he abandoned four years ago. Don’t laugh, it’s a fact! . . . Here’s another one — Chrysler developed the first successful safety all-steel body. Before long laws will be passed prohibiting the manufacture of flimsy bodies containing wood hidden under light steel exteriors. Most factories have already copied Chrysler and have adopted the safety steel con- struction. We could tell you about Chrysler developments in airstreaming bodies against wind resistance as introduced two years ago, and now copied by every other competitor, and a lot of other well known Chrysler features now adopted by other cars, but we don’t have enough space. Just keep this thought—WHY NOT SPEND YOUR MONEY ON THE CAR THAT IS ALWAYS FIRST IN MECHANICAL IMPROVEMENTS AND BODY DESIGN? Corwin-Churchill Motors, Inc.

A loose belt on a belt-driven gefi- erator is often the cause of erratic action of the amméter needle. A light automobile recently tested in England, equipped with a small Diesel engine, will, it is claimed, run 65 miles on @ gallon of fuel oil. Many auto accidents are caused by tires being off balance. It is sald that the Place de L’Opera, Paris, has more motor traffic congeg- tion than any other street intersec- tion in the world. New York state car owners paid $115,237,179 in motor vehicle fees and taxes during 1934, or an average of $38.11 for each vehicle registered. Keeping a check on the tail light, replacing it when it burns out, is much cheaper than paying a fine for driving without a rear light. In 1931 Chrysler Bismarck’s Every . Morning ....
