When using the photoflash bulb, hold it to one side of the camera, and slightly back of it This position prevents possibility of lens flare from the flash. Here's one simple precaution : -- see that the camera is placed where passible smoke from the lire may not be blown towards the lens or between it and the subjects.

Curb weight of the 4-door sedan is 3415 pounds on the six and 3555 on the eight With the six built on a 117-inch wheelbase and the eight on 122, the two chassis are powered by motors delivering 85 and 100 horsepower respectively and with piston displacements of 223 and 249 cubic inches. Most striking in the new exterior appearance is the restyled front end. The chromium grille popularly known as the "Silver Streak," which leaped into instant public favor when Pontiac first introduced it on the 1935 model, is retained in all its individuality, and becomes the focal point of a new hood side grille and new radiator horizontal grille design which gives the impression of extreme power and beauty. The center radiator grille has nine .vertical chrome plated bars which extend up and over the entire length of the hood. The radiator side grilles are formed by horizontal chrome bars curved to correspond to the contour of the radiator shell. The long hood has the striking chrome plated silver streak on its upper panel corresponding to the vertical radiator grille. The parting line of the hood is at the belt line, with only the upper section raised to service the engine compart ment. Three easily removable wing nuts hold the lower section in place. All hinges are concealed. The hood side grille differs on the eight from the six in that it has three chrome mouldings instead of two. Radiator ornaments are redesigned in the modernistic manner, and new polished die-cast shields conceal the headlamp bracket adjusting cavities. Each model carries a name plate at both the upper and lower parts of the vertical section of the silver grille. 'Wheels and hub caps are new. On the eight, parking lamps have been tailored into the tops of the headlamps to form a haromious unit. This model also boasts distinctive radiator ornament, lower radiator name plate, rear door name plate and moulding, as Well as bumper ornaments and guards in keeping with the greater luxury of this model. Interiors are wholly new, as. are exterior colors and combinations. The newest model offerings of Pontiac are expected to entrench this division of General Motors in its position as a, volume producer. Pontiac built 78,000 of the 1934 models; 126,000 of the 1935 models; 178,000 of the 1986 run, and 236,000 of the 1937 series. Plant expansion makes possible a material increase in 1938, which the company management fully expects to realize in view of the popular appeal of this latest version of the "Silver Streak." Dealers already are making delivery of the new models as fast as shipments are being received from the factory. The R, I. Overton 'Motor Sales is the local dealer.
