40 WINNETKA TALK January 28, 1928 Finds Fuel Oil Burner Fine for Garage Heating The heating plant in Rudolph Kurschner's garage, 666 Vernon ave- nue, Glencoe, one of the largest and best equipped garages on the entire north shore, is now operated with a fuel oil burner with which Mr. Kursch- ner says he is able to keep the radia- tors throughout the 11,000 square feet of floor area singing at all times re- gardless of what the weather is on the outside. The new system is proving not only a pleasure to the scores of his auto owner patrons, but to the mechanics in Kurschner's shop, as well. The shop, which is now located in the addition which Mr. Kurschner added to his garage last fall, is equipped with all the latest machinery, electrically operated, for doing all kinds of automobile work. Mr. Kurschner announces that he has recently added the Goodyear tires and accessories, in addition to the Firestone line which he has handling for a long time. been There are 3,006,081 miles of high- way in the United States.

Those who admire all that is smart in the motor car ex- press admiration as they view the models of the Flying Cloud and Wol- verine. Incorporated in the new Flying Cloud sport phaeton is an elegance and beauty that is seldom found out- side of the strictly custom body field. Its long, low and rakish lines, nickel fittings throughout, side spare tire mountings, slanting windshield with special ventilating side wings (exclu- sively Reo's), give the new phaeton a decidedly sportive touch. The usual side curtains have been replaced by nickel frames fitted with genuine plate glass. These frames are readily and quickly mounted and dis- mounted, and give ample protection and vision in all kinds of weather. The new Reo phaeton's special top victoria, giving a sense of roominess without clumsiness, and has a special canopy which is easily attached. This canopy extends from the rear bow to the windshield and gives ample over- head protection. Upholstering is of specially tanned genuine leather, while cushion con- tours and interior appointments have been designed with the idea of com- fort predominant. The doors of the new Flying Cloud sport phaeton are mounted on special rugged hinges at the center pillar. The ensemble, completed by delicate colors, cane belt panels and nickeled cowl bands to which the special park- ing lamps are mounted, gives the new Flying Cloud sport phaeton a decidedly foreign touch. A strikingly complete line of motor trucks is found in the Reo Speed- wagons, which, like other Reo models, are displayed by the Reo Evanston company, 1101 Chicago avenue. The speed wagon junior, with 115- inch wheelbase and one-half-ton ca- pacity; the speed wagon tonner, with 123-inch wheelbase and one-ton ca- pacity; the standard speed wagon, with 133-inch wheelbase and one and one- half-ton capacity; the master speed wagon, with 148-inch wheelbase and two-ton capacity; the heavy duty speed wagon, with 159-inch wheelbase and three-ton capacity, and the bus chassis, with 175-inch wheelbase and three-ton capacity cover more than 93 percent of to-day's trucking require- ments. Expect Ford Crowd Here Will Exceed New York's A new record for attendance at in- door events was hung up in New York when 1,500,000 people saw the automobile show at the Grand Central palace and the Ford Industrial expo- sition at Madison Square garden, both of which recently closed, according to S. A. Miles, manager of the auto show, and Tex Rickard, Madison Square's impresario. The Ford show is being moved to Chicago and will be located in the First Regimental armory, where the public may view it free. The New York attendance at this show averaged 175,000 daily with a peak of more than 225,000. It is expected that this record will be éxceeded here. Motorists to whom the old car has taken on a monotonous appearance are overlooking a good bet if they fail to take advantage of the accessory novelties that are available today.
