STATE BUSINESS UP

i Incr€ase Longest of Any Perlod Since 1931; Conflicting s Treénds

Definite indication that general business in Indiana is on the upgrade was shown in the Indiana university business review.

An increase of more than 21 per cent in total business during the last three months of 1933 over the corresponding period of 1932 was reported. The increase is the largest for any pericd since 1931."

“The general situation was filled with conflicting trends during the fourth quarter,” the survey said, “Some lines of business activity made substantial gains while others suffereq slight declines. “Industrial employment declined but the general employment situation improved due largely to civil workst administration programs.— “Department stores reported brisk trading during the last quarter Christ mas buying was heavy and some stores reported sales equal to 1931 sales. .

~ “Clothing and hardware sales were ‘well above the corresponding peériod in 1932. Some improvement was noted iin collections. Newspaper advertising ‘made less -than the usual seasonal ‘gains. : B | “Auto business was confined largely to used car sales, figures reaching one point abovie normal. New car sales made less than the usual seasonal gain. Life insurance sales were under December 1932. “Steel industry activity was better during December but declined again in the early part of January. More coal was mined in Indiana during December than in any other month since January 1931, “Automobile production made contra seasonal decline but remaineq at a fairly high level. More than the expected seasonal decline in furniture sales was reported. Limestone activity and building trades were quiet. Textile plants reduceq their opera:ing schedules.” :

NEW CHEVROLET ON DISPLAY

Linceln-Chevrolet Salesroom Has New “Knee Action” Car To _ Demonstrate

The new 1934 Chevrolet with “knee-action” wheels, 80-horsepower’ “Blue Streak” engine streamlined body and an imposing list of improvements and refinements is on disday in Ligonier at the Lincoln-Chevro-let Salesrooms. : In the design and development ‘of the new models, particular attention has been given to driver and passenger comfort and every effort has been made to eliminate the sensations of both sound and feeling that prove annoying to the motorist. The new Chevrolet is: longer- —it has a 112 inch wheelbase—roomier, more powerful smoother and more quiet than its predecessors. The engine is placed several inches farther forward in the chassis and seating has been rearranged. The additional length is disposed so as to provide more space for the front seat occupants and considerable more room for the rear seat passengers. \ : S In appearance the sleekenss which ‘'has characterizeq Chevrolet cars in the past, is further accentuated by the actual length increase plus the treatment of the car design itself. The increased power delivered by the new “Blue Streak” engine improves the flashing performance and the many engine refinements combined with distinct chassis improvements insure extremely fast safe, economical and quiet operation. Both front and rear seat passengers are ingsulated from road shocks by the independent; front wheel suspension—known as “knee action” wheels—com-~ ‘bined with improved rear spring suspension and a more balanced distribution of weight.
