Claude Graham White, noted aviator, heads the projects. The garages are modeled on the lines of the Grand Central station, New York, and will have separate roadways for cars go- ing up and coming down. Each build- ing will be eight stories high. Acces- sory shops will be situated in the main centrals halls. MOTOR CLUB, 25 YEARS OLD Old-time automobile dealers had memories revived with the occurrence of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the organization of the New Jersey Auto- mobile and Motor Club. Some of the charter members who are still active in the automotive industry are Horace A. Bonnell, and Jacob Mason, both of Newark. Born to the first rank of fine motor cars, two generations ago, Pierce-Arrow has right-of-way the world over today! A irthright Why is it that we associate Pierce-Arrow with the exclusive club, the choice residence section, the worth while people of every community? Not because of association with wealth--but for the reason that the name is an Americanism for fineness. That is the Pierce-Arrow birthright. ; Recently Pierce-Arrow revised prices on the entire new line. Every model was thus made an outstand- ing value among fine cars. But in no single instance has the original fineness been $2475 to $7500 (AT BUFFALO) againstdownand mon surprisingly easy.

Michigan Avenue, CHICAGO (Factory Branch) Telephone Michigan 2400 James G. Barber Service Station, 1508 Elmwood Ave., Evanston Victory Six Shows Hill Climbing Is Not Much of a Job Automobile hill climbing feats, here- tofore confined to certain mountains, have been nationalized by Dodge Brothers in a series of tests to obtain a composite picture of Victory Six performance, according to W. T. Wersted, Winnetka Dodge dealer. Paved and unpaved inclines through- out the country, known to native motorists as "Show Me" grades, were picked to test the Victory's ability. All records were made by different cars and drivers under varied condi- tions. Some of them follow: In Pennsylvania, the Victory Six started at the foot of the famous Uniontown hill in high gear with a speed of 18 miles an hour. The three- mile climb to the summit around sharp curves and up grades of more than nine per cent was finished in high gear at 42 miles an hour. Lookout Mountain near Chattan- ooga, Tenn., was the scene of another test in which the Victory carried the driver and four passengers up the 4% mile climb in eight minutes. The winding highway to the top leads to an altitude of 2300 feet, and the en- tire trip was made in high gear, the speed at some points reaching 45 miles an hour. In the Rockies, Cheyenne Mountain, towering 9,200 feet above sea level, was easily conquered with a car load of passengers without the use of low gear. The road to the top is six miles long, and reverse turns make the climb unusually difficult. Corey Hill, known to every Boston motorist and many tourists, was negotiated in high gear all the way. The hill rises 187 feet in 2,000 feet of highway, and at one point the grade is more than 15 per cent. New York reported a test run up Fort George Hill, which is 4/10 of a mile long with a 9% degree grade at the bottom and 11 degrees at the top. The start was made at five miles an hour in high gear at the bottom, and the car speed reached 25 miles an hour at the summit. It required just four minutes for the Victory to negotiate the two-mile winding highway up Mt. McGregor in New York state. The speed at the top was 25 miles an hour. Steep grades and hairpin turns make the climb one of the hardest east of the Rockies. Ascending Stone Mountain near Atlanta, Ga., proved a novel but suc- cessful venture. There is no road to the summit, and at one point it was necessary to go up a rock incline with a 25 per cent grade. New Plant of Chevrolet Plans Rapid Car Movement A new Chevrolet assembly plant will begin operating about December 1, in Kansas City, according to the L. and R. Auto company of Wilmette, Chev- rolet dealer. The opening will be celebrated with a public "party" and special ceremon- ies when the first car runs off the line. Chevrolet has made arrangements with the Missouri Pacific Railroad, the yards of which connect with the fac- tory site, for the movement of five cars loaded with Chevrolet products every 22 minutes when the plant ca- pacity is reached. Approximately 1,200 men will be employed. NEWEST OAKLAND IS SHOWN The latest Oakland All-American six is on display at all the Community Motors, Inc., and associated dealers' show rooms, being the most recent ad- venture in new models for 1929. The line embodies advanced engineering features, smart appearance and room- ier bodies, as well as increased power.
