THE LIGONIER BANNER, LIGONIER, INDIANA

' The Oakland Car. f You need not make any extended | comparisons to understand why thel Greater Oakland Six is so emphatically preferred by those who demand of their cars not only satisfying beauty la.nd performance but also unusually long life and reliability. ; } The answer lies in the fundamental principle of Oakland construction—‘because the Oakland Six is built to a degree of precision® previously unknown in cars of its price! { True Oakland provides unexampled beauty and style by the usesof superior Fisher bodies; and an éltraordinary . agility smoothness and silence by employing such advanced engineering features as the exclusive Rubber Silenced Chassis and the Harmonic bal.ancer. But by working to limits that once typified the hand-built car by following such extra-ordinary practices as diamond boring all piston pin bushings and balanceing all rotating parts from transmission to rear axle Oakland achieves a resistance to wear tear and road shock that actually borders on the unbelievable. . You need only to talk to veteran Cakland owners —or observe veteran Cakland Sixes in action— to understand why the trend of fine car buying continues to swing so strongly toward the Greater Oakland Six. : Closing Options On 011 Wells, .ames W. Hunt essisted by several ilGrange men is cloning options 2n tand north of LaGrany2 nreliminary to drilling two or mnre cil wells. A few: options are yet to 2 ciosed to reach the required acreaze. Money for the wells is being furnished by out of county capitalists who are fully persuaded that Grange is close to the “hump” that seems essential in profitable oil wells. This confidence is based upon reports of government geologists. As soon as the matter of the options is closed driliing operations will begin. : New Machinery Not Neeessaxy. “The rumor is afloat” says W. F. Burbank county agent of Allen county “that farmers cannot obtain the maximum allowance of $2.00 an acre to cover extra work unless they buy new machinery. -This report is absolutely {false. The job is to get the stalks unuder or burned, anything just so they will not harbor living borers. The inspectors will not ask whal tools were used, they will look at the jch. The man who can do clean plowinz with the tools he already has sbauid have little occasion for worry.” Nappanee Men Escape Iniury. Williami Deßoer and two sons of } Nappanee escaped injury in an auto-} mobile accident Saturday evening. Mr. ‘ Deßoer was driving toward Nappanee when he met a hearse driven by L. 0. Loucks on a narrow stretch oil road two miles south of Wakarusa. Mr. Deßoer’s car struck the railing which guards a deep ditch, broke down several ppsts and went through the fence into the ditch which i 3 twelve feet deep. The car turned over on its side but no°one of the occupants was hurt. ' Child Run Down. The first accident of the spring season in Kendallville resulting from children playing in the street occurred Sunday afternoon when Betty Ruth Coffelt 4 year old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Ray Coffelt was struck and run down by an automobile driven by { William E.

BLAMES SECRETARY MELLON ! W. H. Settle, State Head of the Farm Body Gives Views at District Meet at Albion. - W. H. Settle, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau blamed the death| of the McNary-Haugen farm bill oa Andrew Mellon and his gang, in and | address here Tuesday before the farm bureau members of the second district comprising eight counties in northeastern Indiana. “It was not President Coolidge's veto that killed the bill after it passed congréss”, said Settle,”""‘but Mellon’s’”’, Settle attacked the President from several points, his main conclusion being that he force of the “industrial east” against the “agricaltural west” were sufficientl‘strong to influence him to turn down the measure. - The meeting at Albion was calied 1o consider a renewed effort to make a more thorough organization of ifarmers in the district. W. H. Robbius, of Columbia City, presided. Settle was the last speaker of the day, the bus-i iness session having been held at Lhul‘ morning session.

Mrs. Verna Hatch ,Huntertown, director of the Woman'’s Auxiliary of tae Farm Bureau was ‘one of the speakers. She emphasized that women play a big part in all successiul farm work and that it is but natural that the women have an important part to play in the organization of agricultural assaciations. . o ' ~ Erskine Six Proves Popular. Always keen for something new in motordom the automobile enthusiasts who attended the premier o fthe new Erskine Six found something that delighted them. Here was a brand new combination of European beauty and economy with American performance and comfort. This compact car whets the appetite of the most blase driver. The Erskine Six is a car with an inviting. personality. It seems to deserve the title of ‘“The Little Aristocrat” Judging from comments expressed this is one car that lives up to its {advance notices ; han There is ample leg room and head room inside for men more than six feet tall The Erskine Six Custom Sedan seats five adults with comfort. This car 'presents an entirely new appearance. It was designed by Dietrich custom body builder and unmistakabiy shows the Continental mede in light personal motor cars. Due to prevailing style as well as to economy and convenience KEuropeans use this type of car more and more for every use except the most formal occasions. Women admire the evident good taste of the broadcloth uphnolstery and distinctive broadlace trim the modish color harmonies of the lacquer finish. ‘Women who drive their own cars liked the convenience of this evolutionary car. Tt seemed so much a personal car that even the woman who lacked confidence in their driving ability decided they would be less dependent on masculine assistance.’ . =~ ¢ Many people were happy Ovei'"the' interest aroused by the first showing of this seventy-fifth anniversary Studebaker. - _ = Studebaker Reels Off New Record. The Studebaker corporation broke its previous production and shipping records in March, producing 17,238 cars as against 15,656 the previous record made in March, 1923, according to a report Tuesday.

. Beauty and Taste in all Detalls, 8 . Essex Super Six appearance is now similar to that of Hudson. The whole line is characterized by a higher radiator of smoothly hounded contour and nickel finish. From the radiatof the hood sweeps back pleasingly to the windshield panel. The front of the car is made attractive with a motometer, standard equipment, and by bullet-shaped lamps which harmonize with the streamlines. The fenders are full crown and rounded off with smooth - well proportioned curves. ; Further back, piano type hinges and well shaped windows assist the whole smooth running plan of design. The window mdldings are designed with reveals which set them oif attractively. A streamline molding sweeps from front to rear of the body. The cars are finished in lacquer with neat striping effects. : - % Within the same degree of care and taste is evident. In front of the drier is an exceptionally handsome instrument board. It is lacquered to match the exterior color. In a neat panel of contrasting color all instruments are arranged covered with glass and in- | directly lighted. Such small items as the light and ignition switches, etc,, are neatly designed and finished. The" parking brake is out of the way, and vet convenient for ready action. ‘Other controls are so well placed that they seem to fit naturally into the hands. : In all motor cars the first-qualities of course are performance and endurance but care in detail such as exemplified .in these cars is convincing in its suggestion of fine workmanship { throughout.” Such superiorities in fact are the finishing touches to sound design and high quality. The Essex Supper-Six owner may know his car is unexcelled in all items which make for his satisfaction. ‘ ~ Tremendous Increase A tremendous increase in retail deliveries of new Chevrolt automobils throughout the country during the first two months of 1927 as compared with, the same period of 1926 is shown in the following report compiled by the Chevrolet Motor Company. » The magnitude of this increase isi indicated in reports from thirty-two of ‘ the most important trading areas in | the 'United- States and shows an av't erage increase of 97.4% in these cen-! ters for the first two months of 1927 as compared with 1926. | The increase is striking evidence of! the country-wide and constantly mounting demand for the Chevrolet car—a demand which caused the Chevrolet Motor Company to reach a new high peak of preduction -during February of this year of 85,821 cars—and still further marking the com*pany’s preemience as the world’s largest manufacturers of gear shift automobiles. : .
