| | SUNDAY, MARCH 23, 1924 CADILLAC 15 QUT IN FRONT Garage Service Devoted Entirely to Cars of Own Agency. oming is unique tn that it devotes all its available garage space and all of its time to the sales and service of Cadillac cars. By dint of earnest endeavor during the past year, we have succeeded in establishing this “prince of fine cars” firmly in Cas- per. It was only recently that the Wyoming Cadillac company was able to secure good aa Bae permanent quarters in which to give to Cadillac owners that service which is rightfully theirs when they purchase a Cadillac machine. The division of the East Side garage into two sections gave us the desired opportunity and we are now firmly Intrenched in the east- ern half of that building. At the service station, the shop and service work is in charge of D. D. Boston, long identified with Cadillac throughout the United States and a man who “knows his business.” He is assisted in the parts and stock room by N. 8. O'Neil, who has com- plete charge of the sale of parts for Cadillac cars. ‘The sales office of the company is located on the third floor of the Consolidated Royalty building in the heart of the downtown section. 'T. Leo Reno is sales manager of the Wyoming Cadillac company and has proven himself to be a “bear cat” and always on the job. Only recently we have accepted the agency for the widely advertised Hoo-Lys shock absorbers which should become firmly established in Casper. before much time has elapsed. They are now standard equipment on 26 European automo- biles and four cars of American make. We look for unusual popu- larity for them in Casper. Special space has been reserved at the show for the display of this absorber. WILLYS MAKES PRICE CUTS IN POPULAR CARS lo better indication of the tncreas- pi rheewtar’ for Willys-Knight and Overland closed cars during the cur rent winter can be given than the announcement from Willys-Overland headquarters that prices on two of its most popular enclosed types have been slashed as a result of a factory output in excess of all - original anticipations. According to the announcement the price reduction affects the Over- land Champion model, which has been reduced to $655 from $695, a cut of $40, while the Willys-Knight standard sedan has been reduced $100 to $1695. All these are Toledo factory prices. Accompanying the announcement is a brief statement from John N, Willys, president of Willys-Overland setting forth the reasons for this re- markable action: “January and February produc- tion has exceeded all expectations. During the first month of the new year We manufactured 22,048 cars, more than double the output of a year ago. In February we mani- tained an average shipping record of more than a thousand cars daily closing the month with total ship- ments of 22,136. “This remarkable increase in de- mand has stepped up production to @ point where our production costs per car have been lessened.” _— Sa BRIEFS ON CHRYSLER SIX AUTO A centrifugal type of air cleaner purges all the alr taken by the car- buretor on the Chrysler Six, Walter P. Chrysler's new offering. The one entrance for gritty substance to the working parts of the engi is thus effectually closed. The ai tion of the cleaner is much like that of a cream separator, throw- ing the dirty or heavy air to the outside -ud away from the inlet. Although the dimming device may be operated on the dash; there is also an auxiliary control. The turn in either direction of a rim around the horn buttom dims the lights and another turn puts on the “brights.” The car carries speedometer, gauges, and switches on a neatly mounted, glass covered panel in the center of the dash. Aside from the conventional instruments, it also has a gasoline gauge and a radi- meter or motor temperature indi- cator. Rear springs are mounted parallel to the wheels instead of to the frame. This mounting does away with sidesway and permits the car to be driven at speed around turns. Snubbers all around are a further aid to perfect springing. All models of the Chrysler are equipped with hydraulic four-wheel brakes, Critics declare that the hy- @raulic system is to the simplest and most efficient braking method known, The Chrysler Six Roadster has an auxiliary seat which opens out of the deck. ‘Two extra passengers may thus be accommodated, STATE FILLED WITH BEAJTY SPOTS MADE REAL ONLY THROUGH GENERAL USE OF MOTOR CAR buyers of Paiges and Jewetts, Harry M. Jewett, president of the company states. This profession purchased 9.4 per cent of the cars sold in January. Shop workers, miners and were again near the top, being second on the list with a percentage of 8.7. Perhaps the most outstanding re- covery of any class of buyers is noted by the jump of the farmer from a bottom position in the list to the standing among the leading purchasers, pointed out Mr. Jewett. “Buying 6.3 per cent of the Paiges and Jewetts sold during January means that the farmers have bought more of the products of the com pany during January than in any month of last year.” Scenic Wonders Remain Closed Book to Those Who Possess No Car; Boon to Motorists Great By SPARK PLUG. “Oh!

Great national forests have been laid out within Wyoming's boun- daries. Nothing can surpass them for true virgin beauty. Camping grounds have been provided by the government with only the stipula- tion that all camp fires be extin- ed before the woodland guests depart. Why, you ask, this lengthy trea- tise upon the “birds, the flowers, and the. call of spring?" Here's the answer, In Wyoming, the wonders of nature are not within the reach of all, as is the case in many of the other states. The automobile is al- most indispensible to one who would really view our native country in all bers of our own Wyoming family. Now let’s talk a little sense. Those of us who have made it our business to “See Wyoming First” find food for laughter in the remarks of one to whom the scenic wonders of this state are a closed book. We are safe in saying that no other state enjoys such a varied and unusual layout of Mother Nature's works of art as our own section of the United States. In no other state do the natural respurces cover such @ tremendous field. Above ali, great- er possibilities than those of Wy- oming cannot be conceived.

Space does not permit detafl, but let's ask ourselves. Has Wyoming any true agricultural possibilities? Beyond the shadow of a doubt. At the present time large sections of the state are devoted to the tilling of the soll alone. Cities and villages have sprung from nothing because the sdéil in the vicinity proved. itself to be adaptable to a certain group of products, Don't ridicule the sagebrush. For a true westerner there ts no charm like that connected with that lowly ‘weed ‘that “thrives when ‘all’ other life is extinct. Is there anything as wholly invigorating as a walk through the semf-arid land which supports the “flower of the west” after a summer shower. No odor like it exists, None ever will.

Beginning with the Overland Chassis at $395 and ranging up to the big, luxurious 7-passenger Willys-Knight Sedan at $1995, Willys-Overland cars cover this most popular price field from end to end. And with models thai are all marvels at the price, ready recorded of other wide tire bearing surfaces. Heavy trucks, equipped with double wheels and iat, solid tires, do no damage to the surface of the highways they use, whether that surface be oll-treated or tar-impregnated stone, sand-clay, shell, concrete, brick or cement. Road damage done by such vehicles is from blows or pressure and not from surface wear. It 1s, with the modern road, always the weight or the blow which damages the road and seldom or never the abrasion of the surface. According to this, the balloon tire should preserve rather than injure roads, since its lessened air pres- Sure incteases the elasticity of the cushion between the road and the weight, and therefore decreases the force of any blow struck by the wheel.
