WIDE RANGE TO CHOOSE FROM IN NEW CHRYSLER ,1928 Buyer Offered Forty Body Styles, Covering Entire Market. Chrysler’s 1928 line of cars includes the widest range of products from which to choose offered by any individual motor manufacturer.

and 112 horsepower Imperial ‘Bo’, are offered on four different chassis covering the entire motor car market. Factory prices range from SB7O for the ‘s2’ roadster to $6,795 for the luxurious Imperial ‘Bo’ convertible sedan, with Dietrich custom body. Through the workings of this standardized qual-

Chrysler

ity principle every model contains the same advantages in performance, appearance, mechanical excellence and general sturdy construction, as does every other. Remarkable Performance Body styles of each of the four lines of Chrysler cars are on display at the automobile show. They are the cars that have brought Chrysler, in successive sensational advances toward the top of the automobile industry, from twentyseventh to third place in four years. “The tremendous pick-up, power and flexibility of earlier Chryslers is made even greater for 1923 by the •Red Head* engine. Not only does it increase general operating efficiency, but aids in faster speed, acceleration and greater hill climbing ability.*’ The workings of the company’s Standardized Quality principles are also manifest in other improvements made during the last year. Since the 1927 shows, rubber spring mountings and engine supports first designed exclusively for the Imperial “80’’—have been adopted lor the “72“ and “62.” Saddle spring cushions now 1 are also found in every Chrysler. New type safety locks have been added, as well as a variety of mechanical and equipment refinements. “America’s Most Wonderful Car” Heading the Chrysler 1928 line is the new 112 horsepower Imperial “80,” recently announced. Longer than its predecessor, its increased spring length combines with other new features to achieve an excelled luxury of riding comfort. This custom idea is carried though the entire model, and extends to colorings optional equipment and appointments. Fifteen bodies by three of the world’s foremost custom body builders are included in the line in. addition to the Chrysler custom bodies. The illustrious new “72“ has an entirely new and more powerful engine, mounted in rubber at both front and rear; seven-bearing crankshaft, now counterwcighted as in the Imperial “30"; longer chassis, fitted with rubber spring mountings instead of metal spring shackles; five-ring aluminum-alloy pistons with invar struts, said to constitute a most important contribution to automobile engine progress, and roomier, more handsome bodies. In appearance, this new “72“ is even more attractive than the original Chrysler, which was. the sensation of the automobile world when it first appeared four years ago. Features of Great New “62“ New features of the great new Chrysler “62” include rubber spring n'ruin tings, a built-in crankcase ventdating system, larger and heavier

transmission, aluminum alloy pis-, tons with Invar struts, rubber insulated engine supports, ball and trunnion type universal joints and the adoption of a worm and sector steering gear. The steering column on all “62“ cars is adjustable to three positions, as in the “72” and Imperial “80.” The front seat in its touring car is adjustable to six positions. As in its sister models, greater rominess and even more ample seating capacity are attained in the new “52“ by the use of longer oodies. The additional space thus available has been utilized to the fullest extent, to carry still further forward Walter P. Chrysler’s original purpose to make this lowest priced car of his line the ideal automobile for the American family of moderate means. Outstanding among the features which, in the manufacturer’s opinion, give the new “52” its tremendous appeal in the low priced field are its speed of fifty-two miles and more per hour; its flashing acceleration and seating equipment of remarkable quality. -fVI'S brtoonndu c.skhaP rHh-

COAL FOUND ON PIONEERS WORD Discovery Near Ogilville After Lapse of 85 Years. By Times Special 4 OGILVILLE, Ind., Feb. 11.—Nathan Clark and Robert Huffman have struck coal near here in the third shaft they have sunk as a result of a pioneer’s tale eighty-five years ago to the effect that coal could be found in this section. John Swank, one of the earliest settlers here, found pieces of cool in a woods, according to a story told during his lifetime. This story came to Clark and Huffman and they sank two shafts, neither of which showed even a faint trace of coal. However, the third when at a depth of only five feet revealed a trace, and at fourteen feet coal was found. The shaft will be sunk further to ascertain if there is a vein of sufficient extent to warrant commercial mining.

PRESENTING at the Auto Show a low-priced Six of typical WiliysKnight quality means that this company has reached the goal of 14 years—aWillysKnight Six at the lowest price in history! The supremacy of the Willys-Knight sleeve-valve engine is a matter of general knowledge—not only to more than 300,000 owners, but to leading engineers as well. Naturally, it costs more to build this superior engine. It is only today, after nearly a decade and a half of constant experiments, that we have reached our goal of bringing the patented Willys-Knight sleeve-valve engine into a lower price field and making its supreme advantages available to countless new buyers. The new Standard Six is thoroughly qualified to carry on the high Willys-

HOOVER’S FOES GROW FRANTIC, FACINGDEFEAT Desperate Efforts Being Made to Block Drive for Secretary. BY RAY TUCKER Vi) United I‘ress WASHINGTON, Feb. 11.—AntiHooverites made clear today that they will continue their desperate efforts to block his nomination right up to the eve of the Republican convention, June 12. No sooner had word reached the capital that the Secretary of Commerce was rolling up strength in the South, now that he appears to be President Coolidge's favorite, than Indiana’s congressional delegation announced it had indorsed Senator “Jim” Watson for the presidency. Many viewed it as an attempt to counterbalance the showing of Hoover below the Mason and Dixon liner Another incident which led the anti-Hoover faction to make a demonstration was the conference of forty House members, which plans were made for crystallizing his strength in both houses of Con- ! gress. | More than two-score members [ from twelve different States at-

tended the meeting, and this congressional bloc may help to advance the Hoover candidacy. Hoover Strength Shown An exchange of views among national commtttemen here for reconsideration of Kansas City’s bid for the convention developed that Hoover was the strong man on the Republican side, and growing stronger each week. Members who hitherto have held cut against the Secretary of Commerce admitted that, in their opinion, they would be left “holding the bag” if they continued their opposition. But there still is a die-hard groupe headed by Charles D. Hilles, New York national committeeman, and others, who demand the renomination of President Coolidge. Unless Coolidge takes cognizance of their activities for him and repudiates them, they hope to stampede the convention into a situation where they may be no choice except to draft the President. Fess Gets In Hole But their strategy has become so obvious that it nas attracted attacks from ali sides, and especially in the Senate. During a three-hour debate on the third term proposition. Senators Reed of Missouri and Robinson forced Fess of Ohio into several embarrassing corners. When Fess explained that he had not suffered a presidential spanking for his demands for Coolidge’s renomination, he was asked if this meant Coolidge intended to keep his door ajar in the hope of a draft. Red in the face and confused, Fess denied this interpretation could be placed on his remarks. He

By nearly doubling its commercial car output last year, the Chevrolet Motor Company in 1927 led all other commercial car manufacturers, as well as all other builders of passenger cars. Chevrolet commercial car production for 1927 was 209,413 units, as against 111,203 trucks and commercial chassis in 1926; 48,299 units in 1923 and 96,788 units for the nineyear period between 1925 and 1915, when trucks of this type first went into production. Approximately 130.000 units of the 1927 output were sold at retail in the United States, according to a factory statement. In view of the extraordinary gains registered during 1927, and the bright economic outlook for this year Sidney Corbett, manager of the commercial car division, stated that the company was fully confident of shattering all previous high marks in 1928.
