Eight M eclianics on Winter Staff at Skokie Garage Elegance Honors Are Won in Europe by Graham-Paige Now we have something new for au omohiles. Carl Hanson of \Vinnetka, Graham- Paige dealer, reports that he has received information from the factory that Graham-Paige has achieved 11ew international honors by winning a prize in Switzerland's first international elegance competition. The event was held at Lucerne and a Graham-Paige was the only American car to win a prize. Thirty leading makes of European ·and American automobiles were paraded before the board of judges. First and second prizes went to custom-built European cars; an lsotto-Fraschini (Italian) and a Martigny· (Swiss). An eightcylinder Graham-Paige five-passenger sedan was third, winning the highest award for cars carrying standard production bodies. In a similar contest at Karlsbad, Czecho-Slovakia, a Graham-Paige took the prize in its class, defeating such European cars as the Skoda, Horch, Isotto-Fraschini, and Tatra, besides other American entries. Mr. Hanson also has received word that Graham-Paige has begun the erection of a mill at Perry, Fla., to supply dimension-cut hardwoods to the GrahamPaige body ,plants .at ;i\Vayne, Mich., and Evansville, Ind. The new mill, costing $150,000, will have 50,000 square feet of floor space, with nine dry kilns 20xl50 feet. Its production capacity will be 60,000 board feet a day. By drying and cutting the wood to dimensions before shipping to the body plants, the new mill wilt effect a .great saving in transportation costs, as these operations eliminate 20 per cent of the weight. Perry is a center of hardwood timber operatiot:ts in Florida. ~· from these , ~~ fundamental ~~'" improvements 1 2 4 5 6 3 7 8 Syncro-mesh transmission permits gear change at any speed. No clashing.
