WINNETKA WEEKLY TALK, SATURDAY, AUGUST 4, 1923 ! 19 GONE 21 DAYS; GO 2.700 MILES Emil Hess and Party Return from Eastern Tour Emil F. Hess, Byron Smith, Bert O'Connell and Mrs William O'Connell of Wilmette, and Miss Genevieve Scanlan of Chicago, returned last week from a 2700-mile automobile tour through the eastern section of the United States. They made the trip in 21 days. Driving a Jordan car the party left Wilmette in the first week in July. The first part of the journey led through Indianapolis, Unionstown, Penn. and Wheeling, West Virginia. The trail ended at Washington. Stay Four Days At the nation's capital the party Side trips and excursions were made to the Unknown Soldier's grave at Ar- lington and to Washington's old home at Mt. Vernon. From Washington the Jordan was driven to Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. At the largest city in the country the party made a four-day halt, tripping up and down among Broadway's lights. Niagara was the next stop of interest to the Wilmette travelers. From Niagara the tourists set out for the re- turn journey, making the trip by way of Buffalo, Cleveland and Toledo. Hess reports that the trip was made at a moderate speed and without a bit of car trouble. As a helpful hint to others who may be planning a similar trip he advises the use of some low test gasoline, such as Good Gulf gas, in climbing the mountains. High test gasoline, he says, will not develop power in the rarified atmosphere at the moun- ing steep and long descents, as it not only wears out the brake but actually fires the brake lining. The correct way to hold back the car is to put it into second and to turn off the ignition, us- ing the foot brake only as a snubber. DODGE BROTHERS EXPECT 1923 TO BREAK RECORDS Since January lst, Dodge Brothers dealers have consistently broken all previous records for delivery of cars to customers. Since April 1st, de- liveries to customers have averaged more than 5000 cars per week. This is without taking into account sales in foreign countries. Materially in- creased production in 1923 has made this performance possible. For the first quarter in 1923 retail deliveries to customers were in ex- cess of any quarter in the history of the business--even including the peak periods of 1919-1920. Following this, deliveries for April exceed any pre- ceding week--each week creating a new high record. May maintained the pace established in April. The constantly climbing delivery records, coupled with increasing pro- duction, lead Dodge Brothers to be- lieve that the last six months of 1923, added to the record breaking first six months, will total by far the great- est year in the history of their busi- ness.
