Automobile Section PLAIN LEADING NEW VOL. XXV—NO 300 HIGHWAY TO H. B. IS OPEN The road between Westminster and Huntington Beach is finished and was opened for traffic yesterday, the office of County Engineer J. L. McBride announced today. The road, with many chuckholes, was one of the worst pieces of boulevard in the county, and the further half of the detour was almost impossible to negotiate. Another welcome piece of news to Sunday motorists is the announcement today that the new Orange-co. Park road, re-opened Wednesday night, has been designated as the detour between Madjeska's ranch and El Toro, the road continuing thru Santiago canyon. The considerable stretch of road on Grand avenue between Buena Park and Northam Station, where the shoulders were being gravelled, was finished this week. Improvement of shoulders means really a widening of a road or restoration of its original width, as a local fan pointed out. The department is graveling the shoulders of Tustin avenue between Santiago boulevard and the city limits of Orange. The detour for the State highway 85,000 AUTO PARTIES IN CAL. THIS YEAR Eighty-five thousand motor parties will have visited Southern California this year, according to an estimate of the Automobile Club of So. Calif. The club is receiving letters from practically every quarter of the country, inquiring regarding roads across the continent, and practically all of these manifest fear that the roads leading into California are not in condition for travel. These letters number 80 per day. If the California terminal of the transcontinental highways were in condition the number of tourist parties could be doubled next year, certain experts declare. Orders For Chevrolet Swamp Taggart Co. The Frank P. Taggart Company received a carload of new Chevrolets from Oakland on Tuesday and has another carload overdue expected before this is published. The local branch is bare of machines, and orders are being received subject to future delivery. Touring cars continue the most popular model, but the coupe is being sold as fast as obtained, and the other models in proportion. Various things are responsible for the lack of machines—the strike, the heavy sales during June and early July.

Ryer of Fullerton and A. J. Eaton of La Habra. The Jordan car distributors also have sold used cars to A. G. Anderson of Fullerton, James H. Clyde, of Huntington Beach, E. R. Orantes, of Anaheim; Domenico Comperno, of Anaheim and Walter Falsbery of Fullerton. POPULATION SMALLEST In proportion to area Norway has the smallest population among European nations. The Frank P. Taggart Company received a carload of new Chevrolets from Oakland on Tuesday and has another carload overdue expected before this is published. The local branch is bare of machines, and orders are being received subject to future delivery. Touring cars continue the most popular model, but the coupe is being sold as fast as obtained, and the other models in proportion. Various things are responsible for the lack of machines—the strike, the heavy sales during June and early in July, difficulty of the factory in keeping up with dealers' demands, etc. Reports of new records achieved by the Chevrolet continue to reach the manufacturers, says O. E. Dinnis, manager of the local branch. Of the F.B. touring car Daniel F. Murphy, Chief of Police of North Tarrytown, says: "It has no equal for the money. I purchased my car from Mr. Harry Terhune, of Tarrytown, N.Y., in 1920, after he had driven the car 12,000 miles. I paid the sum of $850 in November, 1920, and sold the car in April, 1922, for $800, after I had driven the car sixteen thousand miles. The expense for repairs during my ownership was $55." In September, 1921, I drove the car to Canada, totaling 1,600 miles on this trip, and using only five quarts of oil. I averaged 19 miles to the gallon. The car was sold for no other reason than to purchase one of the later models. It gave me the greatest of pleasure, and I also used it for police work. I am sure that with the proper care, the Chevrolet FB will render anyone the same good service it has rendered me." Buick MOTOR CARS TRADE MARK NO.

Goodrum Prop ANAHEIM FULLERTON Buick Distributors for Northern Orange County AIN DEALING NEWSPAPER OF NORTHERN ORANGE COUNTY Anaheim, California, Saturday, July 29, 1922 New Durant Car to Be Built; The "Flint" The addition of a popular priced six cylinder motor car to the line of the Durant enterprises is announced today by W. C. Durant, president of Durant Motors, Inc., says James E. Appleby, Anaheim and Santa Ana distributor of Durants. The new car, to be known as the "Flint," will be ready for public inspection about September 15, and for deliveries January 1, 1923. The price has been established at $1180. The manufacturing company, the Flint Motor Company, will have capitalization of $5,000,000. Application for its charter has been filed at Lansing, Mich. The "Flint" is named for the city of Flint, Michigan, where the main manufacturing plant will be located. Thus is fulfilled a promise made by Mr. Durant at the inception of Durant Motors, Inc., a year and a half ago, when he announced that one of his manufacturing plants would be located in Flint, his former home. The promise was made in response to an appeal contained in a petition signed by thousands of Mr. Durant's former townspeople. For convenience in supplying the eastern markets, the "Flint" will also be manufactured at Long Island City, N. Y., in the plant about to be vacated by Durant Motor Company of New York, Inc. The latest Durant is a refinement of the so-called "Carysler" car, which was acquired in the purchase of the Elizabeth New York THREE NASH CARS SOLD IN HALF DAY Three cars sold and two of the delivered in half a day: Bob White, distributor for the Franklin and Nash, told us about it this afternoon. Charles Roney of Fullerton, purchased the first of the new Nash carioless received—a fine, new enclosed model—and W. Blankenbiller of La Habra and Miss Helen Meger of the Anaheim Sanitarium and her sisters Nash four touring cars. Kerosene lamps that are claimed to burn a month without attention have been invented for railroad crossing danger signals where other lighting is not available. NENNO & BOCK By The Mysterious Cowboy THE STORY of business is never quite as interesting as the narrative of adventure. Business is an every day occurrence, but thrilling adventure comes but a few times in a life and some of us come to our end only after a dull and adventuresome existence. Those who have tasted of the sensations of adventure and who have survived the sometimes hardships that it entails, are peculiarly fitted to find an easy and useful place in life. After the writer had finished an engrossing conversation with Mr. C. J. Nenno, one of the partners of the firm of Nenno and Bock, auto accessory house, he made up his mind to the above conclusions. There is not space to tell much of the story but I must amuse you with some of it. This firm has a business card, a very novel one, and on the back of that card is a kind of autobiography of the senior partner, Nenno. In this discourse on human struggle, we find him digging in New York state for Leeks and selling Ging Seng in Catteraugust county. That alone is enough to put him in a class by heimself, but he did not stop there. He fussed around the oil fields of the east; he ran grocery stores and he drove jitneys, and still the story is not half told. Today he is conducting a fine public service in the auto accessory line in Anaheim and he is wondering what he will be called upon to do next. I think I know the answer—he will remain in the city of his cinal choice—Anaheim. Paul Bock, a younger man, but of the same stuff that makes enterprise, halls from Wichita, Kansas, and the card tells us that this is enough to recommend him to the community—and it is. Their business is slow some four years of age, and with that sagacity peculiar to Business men of this type, they have supplied their shop in a most complete manner. Here is everything for the auto, as their slogan tells us. About one half of their service is given for the availability of the garages, thus it will be seen that the garages of Anaheim and northern Orange county have at their disposal, a splendid and complete service for auto accessories. This firm is the authorized agent for the well known Hartford tires and tubes; they are distributors for that efficient device, the Gabriel snubber; they handle only high grade and standard advertised lines; they sell more piston rings than any other dealer in this district; they deal in genuine Ford parts; they carry a line of gaskets that is unique in its completeness; they are expert vulcanizers; their lubricating oil business is a big factor alone; they have everything for the auto. These merchants are progressive and enterprising. Their ideals are like their service. Their hearts and their money stays in Anaheim. More power to them. 1922 Ford Looks Like 1921; Different The 1922 Ford, which from the outside looks as much like its predecessors, has many improvements, which would be purchasers of a car would do well to consider, says Geo. Dunton, distributor for the Ford, Fordson and the Lincoln. Pistons and connecting rods have been redesigned, providing lighter structures without decrease in strength or wearing qualities. This reduction in reciprocating weight has produced a smoother running motor with reduced vibration and with quicker, snappier pick-up. Moreover, careful weight selection of these parts in the shop before assemblage has been a factor in the sale of a vast number of Buick cars of the type of model 22-six-48, the large four-passenger coupe, not because appearance affects the serviceability of the cars, but rather because it supplements that serviceability with a refinement that adds materially to the satisfaction of ownership, says a statement of the manufacturers, according to the Anaheim Auto Co., distributors. This model is a big, roomy closed car in which utility, comfort and convenience vie with each other for recognition. The good taste of the lines finish. you not only purchase the with it goes the backing of ent. Buick owners have CE is most significant for but an organization just as the car itself. Buick line of Buick parts and your service. Pistons and connecting rods have been redesigned, providing lighter structures without decrease in strength or wearing qualities. This reduction in reciprocating weight has produced a smoother running motor with reduced vibration and with quicker, snappier pick-up. Moreover, careful weight selection of these parts in the shop before assembling into any given motor further insures absence fro mvibration and increased efficiency, under all conditions of operation. The new fan assembly provides the following features: 1. Large diameter pulleys preventing slippage, and increasing life of belt. 2. Bronze bushings running in self-contained bath of oil. 3. Dustproof enclosure. The new Ford design starting switch combines all the best features of manufacture and operation of the previous types. It is simple, direct acting, of few parts and exceptionally easy of assembling and repair. Although there is practically nothing to get out of order in this simple switch, still disassembling is easily accomplished by the removal of two screws, when the top lifts off and the entire inner switch is exposed. The new switch is water, dust and rust proof, and in addition it is located in a protected position under the floor boards. 13,500 MILES IN VELIE; NO REPAIRS The long distance service record without repairs probably never will be determined, but owners' reports are adding more valuable data on the subject every year. Dr. Jacob J. Schneider, of Brooklyn, instances the case of his Velie. Incidentally it shows how the automobile extends the physicians' facilities for service. "I have traveled over 13,500 miles during the past year and a half, and I have had no trouble whatever," said Dr. Schneider. "I went over 11,000 miles before I removed the carbon. There was really no need for it. At that time I also had my valves ground. Nothing in the nature of "repair". has ever been done to the car." McGraw Bros., of Fullerton, are distributors. TIRE PRICES NOW AT BOTTOM; JAMES James, the Vulcanizer, the first or practically the first in town to cut his tire prices, has extended the reductions to include everything he carries. The 30 by 3½ Ajax cord and common Goodyear cord (not the cross-ribbed) have been reduced from $18.70 to $16.25; the Horseshoe from $20.00 to $16.25. Nearly all the standard makes of tires have absorbed the war tax and gone down that much. So have all tubes. The bottom is here, says James, who advises his patrons to buy white the buying is good. 320 CARS HANDLED BY RILEY, 6 MOS. Harry D. Riley, distributor for the Studebaker in Northern Orange-co., handled 320 cars, new and used, during the first six months of this year, he reported today. These, if placed end to end at the prescribed legal distance from each other, would extend for five and one-third miles, or from Anaheim to Orange. New Hudson Sedan Is Beautiful Car Anaheimers taken this week to the showrooms of Harold L. Arnold in Los Angeles, by H. L. Grove of Townsend & Medbury, Hudson and Essex distributors, voiced their admiration of the new Hudson sedan being displayed there. Grove says he expects to be able to make deliveries soon. This new sedan is the first car of the Hudson Motor Company possessing a body turned out by the Middle-Smart body works in Massachusetts, which the motor company recently acquired. What are claimed to be the best automobile bodies on the market are manufactured by the concern. The big roomy seven-passenger sedan is elegantly appointed in every way and, in spite of its superior value, sells at $2655, compared with $3030 for the previous car. The sedan contains, of course, the new Hudson motor also. Fabricoid Work of Firm Makes Hit Here The Anaheim Auto Works, which specializes in fabricoid body covering, top building and wood and metal work, has been turning out some work lately that has been better than any show window display. The firm covered a big five-passenger car with a rose fabricoid that is as handsome as anything else. COTATI MAY SEE WORLD MARK GO COTATI, July 29.—Above the roar of racing motors will be proclaimed the name of a driver who has set a new world's record for the 150 mile distance at the conclusion of the championship event over that distance to take place on the wooden bowl here Saturday, August 5. The driver who places his car over the line at the head of a field of the fastest drivers and racing cars in America will have set a mark so far above the present record that the entire country will marvel at the speed. There are free predictions among race enthusiasts who have gathered here for the coming event, and estimations have placed the average maintained by the winner throughout the race at close to 120 miles an hour. As strong an entry list of drivers as have ever been seen on American tracks or on foreign speedways are to face the starting flag of Fred Wagner, official starter for the event and veteran on the track, and a battle between the speed kings, such as never before has been witnessed will take place during the time taken to Fabricoid Work of Firm Makes Hit Here The Anaheim Auto Works, which specializes in fabricoid body covering, top building and wood and metal work, has been turning out some work lately that has been better than any show window display. The firm covered a big five-passenger car with a rose fabricoid that is as handsome as anything ever seen here. Then they completed the job by re-enabling the car so that it can't be distinguished from a machine just out of the factory. This fabricoid comes in 18 or 20 different sizes or colors and lasts for five years, compared with one year for an enameled car. The cost is only $25 more. The firm builds sliding glass tops, upholsters interiors and does body and fender repairing and welding. 217 North Los Angeles street. SIX MORE CARS ARE SOLD BY HARRY RILEY Harry D.
