Explains Comfort Change in New Model Chrysler "Enhanced passenger comfort in the New Chrysler "72" is due in part to shock insulation by means of rubber spring mountings," explains W. ¥ Reagan of the Evanston Motor Sales. This type of shock insulation was perfected for the Imperial "80" model and is now incorporated in all seven body types of the new "72" model. "This device deadens vibration sounds, absorbs road shocks and eliminates noises and jars caused by contact of metal with metal," says Mr. Reagan. "Chrysler engineers rate the rubber spring mounting of the "72" and the Imperial "80" as the crowning achievement in a long line of develop- ments in vehicle suspension and shock absorption," he states. Spring shackles as developed for the Imperial "80" and applied to the "72" cars, are described as single blocks of molded, resilient rubber, compressed in metal housings that are attached to the 'frame of the car. The spring ends are held in these rubber blocks, which take the place of the usual steel spring shackles. Each block consists of three sections, the upper or load section, the lower or rebound section and the mid- dle or thrust section. : Among the advantages claimed for the use of these insulators are elimina- tion of all necessity for lubricating, re- duction of operating costs by saving of expenses for grease and oil, doing away with adjustments and replacements of shackle bolts and bushings, and length- ened life for springs and tires.

Time Adds to Success Perhaps it's the acknowledged reputation of "SPAULDING'S" for fine merchandise at fair and consistent prices . . . it may be the convenience of a downtown store and service brought to Evanston, but, whatever the reason . . . the fact remains that The Second Year in Evanston is decidedly better than the First So again we express our appreciation of the value of Evanston as "a shopping center." For the "Occasional Gift" and for those "Worth-while Things" one naturally expects to find at SPAULDING'S, we ask your inspection of our stock at the Evanston Branch.
