Ta'ESDAY, SEPTEMBER 2, 1924. SE eA eee ae ea os ch JEWETT AUTO HIKES. DRNING REAL PLEASURE Sparky Puts Car Thru Paces Under Many Conditions. By SPARK PLUG. (Yes. This is the fifth of a series of little articles by Sparky degling with the outstanding fea- tures of one of the many cars represénted by Casper agencies. Each week Sparky drives a dif- ferent machine and every Sunday he tells his readers of the points about that car which especially stood about above the others. Last week Sparky drove the new series Jewett Brougham, and here is the result of the test which he gave the-car.) Motor purring silently and yet savoring of a hidden power ready to spring forth at the slightest provocation, the new Jewett under the guidance of Sparky, automobile editor of the Tribune, slipped silent- ly out of the Paige-Jewett sales room’ at the Lee Doud Motor com- pany, and took the road with a vim which suggested unlimited power and speed. The test which Sparky gave to the new Brougham was brief but crucial. He first drove swiftly and silently about town to determine just how the Jewett handles in heavy traffic, and found that there Is never any need to shift the Paige built car into second for so satisfactorily does she perform in high that the slowest moving traffic does not retard her progress. Desiring still further proof of this car's worthiness, Sparky turned her nose toward the neighboring mountains and gave her the pro- verbial gas, Such response, such action. The Tribune automobile editor was surely amazed. The Jewett put the first heavy pull be- hind her in short order and in high gear. Onward she flashed, up the mountain rond and it was not until the heavy, straight up pull at Garden Creek was reached that she Delco, for day-in day- out, year after year pee dependabil- ity, has earned recogni- nee as the world’s finest fell back on ner second gear with 4 knowledge of work well done. The test took the Jewett only to Alpine Inn, and she.was then point- ed aguin toward the city. A truly outstanding feature of the Jewett is the transmission which is so con- structed as to allow a driver to shift trom high to second at any speed. Sparky changed gears on the down grade at 40 miles per hour without the slightest semblance of S The Jewett and the Chandler are the only cars manufactured today Who have this advantage over their competitors. > The body construction of the Jewett Brougham is faultless. It is a sturdy car and the manner in which tho interior is laid out en- ables the driver to make a doub! bed out of the Brougham, and thi avoid the necessity of sleeping in a tent or on the uncomfortable hard ground. Sparky believes that the out- standing feature of the car repre- sented by the Lee Doud Motor com- pany, is the ease with which it responds to the lightest touch upon the accelerator, Its pick-up is Uttle short of marvelous. It will gather speed from five miles per hour to forty in seven seconds, which is record seldom approached by. other cars in its class. The Jewett is not a light six, but it is a heavy six, with a chassis built to support a heavy motor. It is one of the most powerful cars in its class and deserves the investigation of every prospect automobile owner in Casper. Time during the past week did not allow Sparky to drive the Paige, the other car represented by the Lee Doud Motor company, but in the beauty contest parade Tuesday af- ternoon, a Paige car will lead the procession and Sparky will be at the helm, and next Sunday he will give you his impression of the true value and outstanding qualities of the original product of the Paige- Jewett factory. CHRYSLER SIX SALES. SHOW INCREASE. FOR THREE WEEKS PERIOD ‘Weekly telegrams from all Max- well-Chrysler district offices indi- cate that in the three weeks ending August 16, 1924, tho sale of Chry- sler cars to the public exceeded the record of any other three weeks since the introduction of the Chry- sler six. Retail sales of the Chry- sler in August are running 13 per cent ahead of June, despite the fact that June js usually considered one of the best and August one of the Poorest selling months of the year. Deater stocks have been brought up to normal in the past four months so that the Chrysler factory will now be relieved of the burden of bringing up dealer stocks in the fact of an unprecedented retail de- mand. The great volume of retail business insures steady production at the Chrysler factory for the bal- ance of the year. ~Maxwell sales are not showing the customary August let up. Retail sales in August as well as in July have been running higher each succeeding week and Maxwel! dealer stocks are only six days sa'es above the low stock figure of a year ago.

DOUBLEDECKING OF STREET TO SOLVE TRAFFIC PROBLEM IN BUSY DISTRICT OF CHICAGO (Copyright, 1924, Casper Tribune.) NEW YORK, Sept. 6.—It has been no trick for many years to change a physical complexion, as} the prdsperity of beauty shops at- test. But as a result of work which has just been inaugurated, the business complexion of a section of one of the greatest business centers of the country will be altered. The success or failure of the experiment will affect practically every gested city in the United oR, altering -the trend of traffic, the location of industries, and property values. The change involves the doubl decking of South Vi cor cago, for 80 years the terminal and market for all fruit, poultry and products which have come to that city for distribution. And the problem to be solved all grows out of traffie congestion, due to the speeding up of business through use of motor vehicles. That same prob- lom exists in practically every busi- ness center In the country today. nh Water street, one of the most colorful and antiquated marta of the country, has been on its last legs for years.. The problem has been to make it. grow new legs. Engineers’ hope that this problem will b@. solved by an innovation— the doubledecked boulevard ever laid out in America—the cost of ‘which will be approximately $24,000,000. About October 1 workers will com- mence to wreck the first efction of this market district which has be- come almost impassable as a thor- oughfare and in which hundreds of dealers do about $500,000,000 worth of business annually. Out of the wreckage will emerge a boulevard built on a new principle to meet modern traffic problems. Its top deck will be a broad highway for fast light passenger automobiles and foot passengers. Its lower deck will consist of three roadways for trucks and horse-drawn vehicular traffic. On the upper deck, thousands of cars, now practically blocked by piled produce and chaotic truck and wagon traffic, will have a highway 80 fect wide, giving easy access to the southwest side of the city. Be- low, beside the three roadways will foot loading platforms abutting on new buildings and 27-foot esplanade on the river front to handle the traffic coming in from Lake Michigan. This thoroughfare will extend for over a mile from Michigan avenue, the city’s main north arid south artery, to Market street. Government investigators expect that the change will save $5,000,000 annually by eliminating congestion. The entire district, now delapi- dated and composed largely of fire traps, it is expected, will be razed and replaced by a modern business section. The new roadway will hav: its upper deck on the same level ai Michigan avenue, while the lower deck will consist of a vehicular sub- way below the street level. in other words, Water street will grow its néw legs downward instead of adopting stilts. Ramps will con- nect the lower and upper decks and three large ventilating plants will clear the lower levels of dangerous gases. Funds to complete the project were voted last June. About $10,- 000,000 will be spent at once by the city and the remainder of the need- ed funds will be supplied by assess- ments on property owners along the street. Court proceedings for con- demnation of the buildings and property involved have practically been completes Heavy losses ha resulted from congestion in the business districts of great cities and even of the smaller centers of trade, Efforts to relieve this have been devoted large- y to development of boulevard sys- ems, but while this method has taken care of Nght automobile traf- fie to séme extent, the heavy truck traffic has been ‘neglected. The new vehicular tunnel under. the Hudson, developments in Pitts- burgh involving a street car sub- way, and the Inauguration of work on a Philadelphia subway are counted on to ald the heavy traffic to some extent in those cities, but the Water street development in Chicago is being watched even more closely, in view of the direct effect it is expected to have on business and industry. With the bullding of the new boulevard, Chicago produce dealers will have to seek new quarters. ‘They plan a “new “market center nearer to adequate rallroad centers OH! LUCKY HUDSON PAGE FIVE. —_— —— — , and developmert of this center will have a direct bearing on the entire trend of business as well as on property values. : Anticipation of similar changes in their own localities has caused en- gineers, property owners, business men and municipal authorities to watch this development. with the keenest attention, WRECKEDCAR SMADE OVER Ingenuity of Repair Shops Shown in Recent Job. By SPARK PLUG Several months ago, while return- ing from an urgent business trip to Salt Creek, Claude Bullack,. chief of the collection department of the Tri- bune, fafled to seo a road barrier in and plunged down an embank- ment in his new Dort car, to what nearly proved to be his death. After a terrific struggle, Bullack finally won out, and he's back on the job again and as cheerful as ever. But —that’s not the story we started out to tell, What of the gar? Experts in the art of diagnosing motor wrecks will tell you that the new Dort pre- sented one of the most truly dis- heartening spectacles from a repair standpoint it has ever been their pleasure or sorrow, to view. Both front wheel were twisted from their resting place on the axle and torn clear of the car: The doors were worse than useless, The front of the steel chassis was bent very nearly double. The body appeared much as an armored tank must have looked after the battle of the Marne. She looked hopeless, but Casper craft and ingenuity came to the fore in the form of four local automobile repair shops.of various denomina- tions who demonstrated once and for all that all the skill is not in con- gress. For several days, the wreck- ed car lay dormant. She was then taken to the Liberty Garage Annex where the motor was taken out and the work of making a good motor out of a bad one was begun. Motor removed the Dort body was taken to the Kemmer Body and Fender Shop where Mr. Kemmer plied his trade for many a day, slowly and patient- ly modeling the totally ruined metal back into shape. He straightened the chassis and took every dent out of the door and sites. The body work completed, and the mass be to assume the proportions of ari auto mobile, the paint shop of tne Lees Doud Motor company next took hold and “did {ts stuff’ The climax found the Sérvice Auto Top shop fit- ting the car with a perfectly new roof, and the engineless automobile was towed to the Liberty Garage Annex where she was again pos- sessed of her motive power. Claud Bullack now drives the Dort around the streets of Casper with a jaunty, air, for he’s proud of his car and justly so, for it, like himself, came very near to the jaws of total oblivion, but through real fighting spirit and the help of others survived what will go down as one of the most throughly damaging accidents in the history of the Salt Creek- highway, and belleve us folks, it has some _ history This Is The Way We Do It Now —no acid in the battery until we fill it for you The new Willard Battery is kept bone dry up to the very moment of its sale.
