48 WINNET KA TALK October 20, 1928 Latest Dodge Car Provides an All- Year Sport Model Custom finished bodies with special- ly matched upholstery feature the spe- cial series Victory Six four passenger coupes which have just been an- nounced by Dodge Brothers, accord- ing to W. T. Wersted, Winnetka dealer. This new type with its attrac- tive color combinations offers an all year sport model. "In body design, the models afford roominess to comfortably seat four passengers, and provide an inside com- partment for luggage or parcels," says Mr. Wersted. "Interior finish is de- signed to harmonize with the exterior colors. The first color combination shipped was black and opal cream, the hood and cowl of the car along with the moldings and upper structure being of a sparkling black. The belt panels and body are finished in opal cream--a rich shade at present popu- lar on sport models of the highest priced cars. Other attractive colors available, include brown and blue lac- quers and the black and red combina- tion. "Mechanically, the car is powered with the Victory Six engine that holds the owner-driven record of 76 hours and 13 minutes from Los Angeles to New York. Acceleration and flexibil- ity in traffic match its smooth opera- tion at sustained speed, and insure proper roadability under all condi- tions. The two-walled Victory Six body, bolted directly to the chassis, replaces body sills and dust aprons, and _materially lowers the center of gravity without sacrificing headroom. This simplified and rugged construction feature reduces weight, eliminates body overhang and prevents annoying squeaks and rattles.

CHANGING MONEY SIZE Grimy Hands at Oil Filling Sta- tions Cause Quick Deterior- ation of Currency Announcement that the new "thumb- nail" size currency of the United States Treasury will make its initial debut within the next three months has been made by Assistant-Secretary of the Treasury, Henry Henick Bond. Why the familiar sized bills are be- ing reduced approximately one-fourth in size is an interesting story that probably not one in a thousand mo- torists know--but it is due primarily to the motorist that the old sized cur- rency is to be taken cut of circulation and the smaller bill installed. Following the advent of the auto- mobile it was found that bills of small denomination came back to the re- demption bureau of the Treasury De- partment more often for reissuance. A study, made by the government, re- vealed that the grime and oil from the filling station attendant's hands does more than any other thing to soil notes, causing them to deteriorate faster than formerly. The frequency with which a dollar bill comes back to a filling station has just been determined as the result of an interesting experiment made by the American Motorists' Association in co-operation with The Automobile Club of Illinois. It was found that approximately every seventh time that a bill changes hands it finds its way back to the oil station, where it becomes more be- grimed by oil and smears. The experi- ment was made by circulating 50 one dollar bills, with a request attached that each spender endorse on the slip what he spent it for, and that the per- son holding the bill after the tenth endorsement should return it to the American Motorists' Association's headquarters at Washington. The fifty bills were circulated in ten cities with the result that out of 36 bills re- turned, containing 371 endorsements, 53 of the endorsements indicated that the bill had been spent by a motorist for gas or oil Pierce-Arrow Has New Truck Model; Carries Big Load Announcement by the Pierce-Arrow Motor Car company, of a new truck model with the largest load capacity of any Pierce-Arrow unit will be news of interest to operators whose work requires the transportation of big loads, in sections where special haul- ing is permitted, according to James G. Barber of Evanston, north shore dealer. The new truck, known as Model R-G, has a vehicle gross weight rating of 36000 pounds. Allowing 16,000 pounds for chassis, cab, body and hoist, this leaves 20,000 pounds for pay loads which may be carried within the Vehicle Gross Weight rating, or 10 tons. The chassis will be made in two wheelbase lengths, a standard length of 14 feet and a tractor size of 12 feet. Both of these lengths are particularly adapted for manuevering within nar- row confines and contractors will find that these lengths are well fitted to their requirements. The primary features of the new Model R-G consist of ability to haul huge loads at normal speeds, maximum strength for pulling out of steep de- clines and an especially sturdy chassis, yielding maximum performance under the most severe operating conditions. 0
