SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 4, 1923 PACKARD GOAL REACHED, SAD New Motor Stands Out As Model of Its Kind, Claim. ‘Through nearly three years of tn- tensive study and experimental work a method of obtaining a per- fect balance in an eight cylinder motor has been found by the Pack ara Motor Car company and now is being used In the Packard BSingle- Eight.

LIBERTY GIRAGE MAKES GREAT STRIDES. HERE DURING THE PAST YEAR By M. J. THOMAS. Forward strides of the Liberty Garage during the season of 1923 have been long and many. ‘Of fourse the most important of these improvements and changes was the erection of the new Liberty Garage, Probably the most modern of Casper Storage garages. The new Annex, although only out a month old, is Rlready filled-to the outer doors with storage. The Annex itself, is really a thing of beauty as garages go. Its sky- light is the latest in its line and allows the maximum in bright light to enter. the building. The capacity of the garage is sixty cars, and it is now practically filled. Both the Liberty Garage and ifs annex have the Prest-o-Lite agency, and have installed a complete battery depart- ment. The outlook for the future of the Liberty Garage and Annex ts bright, and while one may expect storage to diminish a bit during the sum- mer months, it is hoped that tourist and other transient storage will keep our hands full at that time.

Fall and winter expansion of the larger’ automobile factories seems to indicate an increased Aemand for the low and medium priced car. Oldsmobile is completing a large addition to the factory in Lansing,- Mich., for producing the new light six in large quantities. Fisher has-just completed a hew factory adjoining Olds to supply bodies for the new six. ‘Willys-Overland at Toledo, Ohio, are running full blast. October Production was the largest in their history. Recent price adjustments and introduction of new Overland and Willys-Knight, models have sSwemped the factory and assem- bling plants with orders.

Paved Highway Within Our Reach In looking up the late prices that are being paid for hard surface high- ways I find that the standard price for regular 18 inch cement concrete highways in the state of Colorado during the past year has averaged only $24,000 per square mile, or a trifle over that amount, If the state can hard surface an average highway for $24,000 per mile, what will the state of Wyom- ing have to pay for a gool hard sur face where there is already a solid base of packed gravel from sit to eight inches thick, as hard as rock? The question is, are we going to pay for hard surface and not get it, or are we going to get what pay for? The 24 miles between Casper 4 Glenrock must have a hard surface to save what we already have paid for, Mr. MacDonald chief of the United States Bureau of Public Roads, has reached @ very definite conclusion that wHl commend itself to the tax- payers ag thoroughly sound and the product of years of careful study. It is best expressed in his own language. “That untf a state has completed the backbone of {ts trunk line sys- tem with a suitable paved or sur faced highways, the rate of con- struction should be independent of the source of revenne or the method of payment, and should be limited only by the phystoal handicaps im- posed by available supply of tabor and materials.” In discussing the question of high- way financing, Mr. MacDonald does not argue t! highway bullding should be carried forward at the ex: pense of schools and other needs of the state.

Mr, Clarence west, Sales Manager, f Studebaker sates, Casper, Wyoming. DEAR SIR:—= Fi *’ As per our conversation; I feel it is due you that I should write and tell you of an ex- perience I had with a Studebaker Special Six on Thursday night, September 27th, our Train No. 30 met with an accident at Cole Creek, east of Casper. when I used a Studebaker Special Six, belonging to Mr. Harold Masters. Wa left Casper . in a pouring rain, and after leaving the Yellowstone Highway had to plough through mud hub deep to get to the scene of the wreck. There were a number of cars stuck in the mud, our car being the only one to get through to the Platte River Bridge. When we arrived at the wreck it was decided that one of our Officials must get to the other side and learn what was going on on the east side of the Creek. It was necessary that we get back on to the Highway and go around through Big Muddy Field. hen we arrived at Parkerton we found the entire Highway washed out and had to c&tour severai miles up Big Muddy Creek before we could get across to the other side. This Studebaker again was the only car that made the crossing. After crossing the Piatte River we reached the east side of the Creek, passing enroute probably fifty cars which were stuck in the mud. I have seen a number of cars perform under difficult circumstances, but I have never had a car show the power that the car did we used on this occasion. I want you to know that I, personally, think the Studebaker Special Six is. a wonderful car, and one that is well adapted to the hard usage a car gets in Wyoming. a Yours very truly, ‘J. A.
