December 15, 1928 WINNETKA TALK NORTH SHORE New Chevrolet Six Exhibit Attracts Crowds in Chicago The establishment of a new record for attendance at the advance showing of a new automobile in Chicago has been scored by Chevrolet. The exhibit of the new six cylinder Chevrolet at the Pure Oil building attracted 155,000 people, many of them north shore en- thusiasts, according to a report by L.. K. Cooper, regional sales manager. Incidentally and of big importance it was announced that 3,153 orders were taken for preferred delivery, which is a demonstration of the popularity of the new Chevrolet. More than 500 dealers from the northwest and mid- dle west, in addition to several hundred salesmen from outlying communities, were among the thousands who took advantage of the opportunity to see the cars before deliveries to the public get under way January 1. Although Chevrolet originally plan- ned only for eleven major advance showings of the new six-cylinder car, the tremendous interest which has been excited throughout the country to see the new car has made it necessary for the company to plan fifty additional advance showings in other important centers. When it was decided tha: the ad- vance showings should take in more territory so that no large center would be overlooked prior to the nation-wide exhibit December 29, Chevrolet's big -sales force went into immediate action.

It might be slight--perhaps a jammed fender--and it might cost a life. Why gamble witlf chance? Brakes, out of balance or not equalized will cause a car to skid to the right or left. Four- wheel brakes--when out of adjustment --add no more to your ability to stop than two-wheel brakes. Your car is only as safe as its brakes. Keep them jn per- fect adjustment. We have installed 2 new JUMBO Giant Brake Tester that scientifically tests two or four-wheel brakes. Use our accurate test every 1500 miles. If adjustments are needed we will make them quickly--at a very reasonable charge. the brake on each wheel. Eliminates all chance for human error --no guesswork.
