26 WINNETKA TALK September 15, 1928 62,000 Miles by "Hup" Before Valves Are Ground, a New Feat While the new Hupmobile Century is the headliner of the Hups, Gould C. Davis of Winnetka, north shore Hupmobile dealer, has something '0 say about another car which isn't a Century. "A man came into the showrooms a couple of days ago and casually re- marked that he had run his 1926 Hup- mobile 62,000 without having the value ground," remarked Mr. Davis. That's something to talk about!" The car which he referred to is still in daily service, according to the dealer. It is one of the six cylinder type which the Hupmobile company was turning out a few years ago and the performance noted here is remark- able, Later when eight cylinder cars| OLDFIELD TIRES People are amazed at these low prices on 30x3% Reg. $7.05 BALLOONS such a high-grade standard tire as Oldfield, 30x31 Ex.

E. R. Alrich, salesman for the Skokie Motor company of Wilmette, has just returned from a trip to the northern woods and his speedometer shows 7,000 miles. As he didn't start driving the car until late in May he's covered a lot of territory in a short space of time, Accompanying him on the trip to northern Minnesota,--the jaunt being for fishing purposes--was Mrs. Al- drich, who Mr. Aldrich says didn't at all mind .the long rides, (they covered 2,500 miles on the trip) and wasn't a bit weary on their return to Wilmette. Mr. Aldrich, who knows his Ford, savs that the increased number of leaves in the springs provides the comfort now | enjoyed by Ford tourists. DEFECTS around on your car. Re- tire guaranteed for life Dodge Shipments Show a Huge Gain, Wersted Reports August shipments by Dodge Broth- ers from the plants in the United States and Canada, in both the pass- enger car and the truck and motor coch divisions, showed in increase of approximately 4 percent over July, ac- cording to W. T. Wersted of Winnet- ka, Dodge dealer The August ship- ments were exceeded in only one month in 1928--in March. They were greater than any 30-day period during the first eight months of 1927, Shipments of both passenger cars and trucks are running heavy. The company entered September with large banks of carry-over orders in all di- visions and the flow of orders from dealers shows no let-up. August was also a great export month. Shipments for the thirty-day period were the heaviest this year. Truck export shipments were the greatest in the entire history of the corporation. August exports showed better than 57 percent increase over the same month last year while export business for the first eight months of 1928 shows a gain of approximately 33 percent over the same period last year. "Business is showing up exception- ally well and indications are that the last half of this year will be one of the best last half periods in our his- tory," said Wersted. Longer and roomier bodies affording greater vision in all closed models of the Victory Six line have been an- nounced by Dodge. The new type bodies now in the hands of all dealers are available in the sedan, sport se- dan, coupe and coupe-brougham. In designing the changes, engineers have retained the Victory Six roadability featured by its low center of gravity and sweeping, graceful appearancg Mechanical changes of the improved Victory Six models include an engine temperature indicator on the dash board, grouped under the glass panel with gas gauge, oil pressure indicator, speedometer and ammeter, and the location of the starting button om the dash board within easy reach of the driver. Maximum vision for the driver and occupants of the front seat has been effected by an increase of 76 square inches in the area of the windshield. The height and length of the sedan models and coupe-brougham have been increased to the greatest head and leg room for all passengers. Motoring Manners Are Not What They Should Be Motoring manners are more im- portant than table manners or golf manners; yet, because of the con- ventions, using the wrong fork or talking while another player is teeing off are considered more heinous of- fenses than makipg a sloppy turn in traffic. Motoring manners are not yet developed. The veteran drivers of today, it is true, have developed a code of ethics in conformity with state laws and local ordinances, but we must try to obtain widespread acceptance of the code. The veteran driver uses his horn sparingly; he does not sound a rau- cous horn when a pedestrian comes near his line of travel; he keeps his car under control ready to stop at an instant's notice, and, if necessary, gives a courteous signal of his ap- proach. When blocked by traffic, the vet- eran driver never tries to bully the traffic officer into action by the use of his horn, nor does he become ex- cited if a car in front of him should stall. The excessive use of the horn is the hallmark of the novice, if not, indeed, of the motoring boor.
