SUNDAY, MARCY 23, 1924 be aspet Sunday Cribune CARTS GIVEN CREDIT FOR BIG JUCCESS OF CASPER BUICK CO, By WALTER STORRIE. ‘The success of the Casper Buick company in Casper has been phe- nomenal and its growth may be laid to the merit of the car which the concern handles exclusively, the faithfulness shown by the company's force in placing this car before the people a the conditions existing here which make it imperative that the motorist,shall have a car which will not only possess an artistie at- traction but which will also pos- sess the durability to go through every test to which it {s put. A large per cent of the company’s business is done with oil concerns. This we feel is a recommendation is itself for the practical qualities found in the car. Much credit may well be given to Ben Lummis, sales manager of the company. Mr. Lummis has been familiar with Buicks ever since they first came out. He has driven them, worked with them and studied them continuously. He has been with the Buick agency in Casper since its beginning here. The present quarters of the Cas- per Buick company are at 132 North Walcott street in a building 60 feet by 140 feet, built in November, 1922, of fireproof material throughout es- pecially for the company. The es tablishment makes a specialty of sales and service. Among the at- tractive features ts a large stock room under the manangement of Howard E. Hawse. The smallest Buick parts are filed systematically and we feel safe in guaranteeing thata man may come into our place and be supplied with nine out of ten parts he may ask for. Bill Noonan is our shop foreman and service manager. Mr. Noonan was the first person to own a car in Casper and he was also the first man to establish a repair shop here. He has been doing repair work since The widely discussed Overland sedan is pee graph. It will be placed on display at the show by the Wyoming 0} bile company. Don't fail to exumine it closely. that time practically all of which work has been on the Buick The company recently erected a ‘warehouse on the Burlington right of way in order that shipments of cars might be unloaded directly Into the company’s own store room. Buicks range in price from $1,150 to $2,600, a surprise to many per- sons who think upon seeing some of the models that they must be in the $5,000 class. The latest thing out and ons which we will exhibit at the Casper Automobile sHow is the Buick Country Club Special. This is a very fine coupe that won favor when displayed at a New York auto show recentty. In all there are 17 models of the Buick. It is probable that at least eight of these will be on display at the Arkeon. If it is not possible to make the changes each night which will per- mit of this, those models which are not shown at the aArkeon will be ‘open to the public at our headquar- ters on North Wolcott street. The Buick models weigh from 2,670 pounds to 4,055 pounds and have a wheelbase length varying from 109 to 128 inches. Our company sold about 175 cars last year and expects to do an even greater business in 1924, po reese bn ae wer Saginaw Products Plantto Be Taken Over by Oakland SAGINAW, Mich., March The Oakland Motor Car company, a subsidiary of General Motors is con- sidering taking over the plant of the Saginaw Products here to produce motor parts, for fear the plant at Pontiac will not be able to supply all parts needed to meet the present heavy production schedule. shown in the above NEW ROLLIN BUILT TO 150,000 MILES OF SERVICE ROLLIN H. A motor car will not deliver in ex. cess of 150,000 mies of satisfactory Service unless its designers and builders have put that volume of Potential service into it. The idea of producing a car capable of at least 150,000 miles of hard service was in mind when, several years ago, I started to develop the car which my associates have seen fit to “call the “Rollin.” Endless research in this country and abroad, access to the automotive laboratories in Europe, and the whole-hearted co-operation of asso- clate engineers on two continents have made possible certain definite and satisfying results which are directly reflected in the new Rollin. Hence I think we have in the Rol- lin the worknig out of a highly pleas: ing triune—excellence tn mechanical design, especially pleasing chassis and body lines and provision made for easy servicing, so that there may be the least possible deprecia- tion in the car value from year toin automotive engineering thought year of ownership. I might first mention the engine casting, which, in addition to design that makes for a sturdy ruggedness, is cast from nickel iron and not the usual gray fron that one generally encounters in cylinder, blocs. Pistons of aluminum alloy refleit 130 in Brinelling. Hence we have cylinder walls and‘pistons both of which are less yielding to wear than the piston rings, with the re sult that the servicing problem, after 50,000 miles or more, does not mean replacing motor bloc or pistons due to wear upon cylinder walls, but merely the renewing of the piston rings. I have been asked by some of my friends why I elected the four in- stead of a six-cylinder motor as my idea of the most suitable power unit. Without any thought of dis- counting the success of producers who feature the six, I want to say this for the Rollin four: A dozen’ years ago when six and eight-cylinder motors won their maximum of popularity in this country it was chiefly because a motoring public insisted upon an automobile that would have the ne- cessary power to master average traffic conditions “on high.” In that era the four-cylinder mo- tors of American design represented excessive weight per delivered horse- power; castings were crude and mas- sive; reciprocating and rotating parts were weighty; shafts and fly- wheels could not be scientifically balanced, either statically or dy- namically—because science had not developed succesful balancing de- vices to meet the conditions. Hence, high spéed four-cylinder motors could not operate without vibration, and the American motor- ing public turned to cars with a le of cylinders. “e The models.

GOOD RECORD IS HUNG UP BY OLDS AGENCY By R. F. KAMMAN. We are justly proud of the Wy- oming Oldsmobile company, During the past year we have eclipsed all other like periods for material ad- vancement and have only recently demonstrated that fact by moving into new and larger quarters in the building formerly occupied by the R. N. Van Sant Motor company. The Oldsmobile company is now the largest single automobile agency In Casper. This company holds the agency for three automobiles. The Oldsmo. bile, Wi: Knight and Overland are the machines represented. Despite the so called slack months during the winter, we havo materially in- creased our business and have sold automobiles to an extent which far exceeded our estimates for that period. Satisfaction is ours and we sincerely hope to continue. Regarding the future, the Wy: oming Oldsmobile company expects to participate in a banner year in local automobile circles.
