Here's How Your Roads Are, Mr. Mrs. Motorist
Inquiries on all transcontinental be slippery on account of melting snow. The other roads to Big Bear are still closed.
ARROWHEAD LAKE: It is possible to reach Arrowhead Lake via Hesperia and the new road. Motorists should not attempt this trip without chains as there is plenty of snow between the Toll House and the Lake. Motorists having difficulty on account of melting snow conditions are urged to phone from the Toll House to the resort and assistance will reach them.
SAN DIEGO COAST ROUTE: From Los Angeles, motorists may go to Santa Ana by way of the Whittier road, Whittier, Fullerton and Anaheim or via Telegraph road, Skuta Pe Springs, Norwalk, Buena Park, Pullerton thence to Santa Ana. The entire route is free from detours and it splendid shape. There has been a small detour around bridge construction work just north of Fullerton but in the last few days motorists have been allowed to use the bridge which is almost completed. From Santa Ana south via Irvine, Capistrano, Oceanside, Carlsbad and Del Mar—paved to San Diego.
COAST ROUTE NORTH: The Coast Route north from San Diego to San Francisco via Los Angeles, Ventura, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Pasadobes and San Luis Obispo offers boulevard conditions in its entire length. In traveling between Los Angeles and Ventura, motorists have a choice of three paved roads, one by

WAY OF THE STATE HIGHWAY THRU CALABASAS AND OVER THE CONEJO GRADER; SECOND, BY WAY OF CHATSWORTH AND SANTA SUZANA PASS; THIRD, BY WAY OF SANGUE, PIRU, FILLMORE AND Santa Penla.
INLAND ROUTE NORTH: This route is in perfect shape and with the exception of occasional stretches of patch work, pavement is continuous its entire length to San Francisco or Sacramento. There is a detour of approximately 1 mile in near Chandler's north of the Ridge Route—this detour parallels construction work and is easily passable. In driving from Bakerfield to Fresno, motorists have a choice of turning at Delano and going via Exeter, Portville and Vsalai or continuing north through Tipiom and Tulare—both routes are paved.
Honesty may be imposed upon and may not gain so much, materially, as selfish dishonesty, but honesty, after all, is "the best policy." It gives a clear conscience and a peace and freedom from worry which are worth more than "much fine gold."
STAR CAR SALES DOUBLE IN MONTH
James Appleby, of the Appleby Motors Company, is the recipient of a letter of congratulation from the Star factory, because of the position that the Star car has already taken in Orange County, and in commenting on the situation states that doubtedly there would have been a greater number of Star cars delivered had it not been for the fact that the small margin of profit on a Star car would not permit them to accept cars in trade, except at a figure that would have been fair to the owner of a used car.
The establishing of the Certified Motor Car Market at South Los Angeles street and Chestnut street, however, has given many a prospective buyer of Star automobiles an opportunity to dispose of their used car at an advantage.
Appleby has remarked that since this market has been opened, the sales of Star cars has already nearly doubled, because of the fact that the owners could get a greater amount for their used cars than had been offered in many cases by dealers who sell the lower priced makes of cars, and he is of the firm opinion that the public will have an increasing confidence in the Certified Motor Car Market, as it is not operated for the purpose of profit, but as a public market in every sense, where that portion of the public who have cars to sell can meet that portion of the public who wish to buy a good used car.
Chas. P. Hamn, who is the manager, is really the trusted agent of the public, who acts as reference or judge between the buyer and the seller, insuring to the man who has a car, its full value, and to the buyer a satisfactory value for the full sum invented.
Hamn has a reputation of being absolutely square and one of the best posted men in Southern California on used car values. The public is to be congratulated on having a man of his character in charge of their market. It is understood that the market will not accept for sale old, obsolete cars that do not represent real value. A great many of such cars, because of a dolled up appearance, or a coat of paint, have been sold in the past, but so far as the market is concerned this type of automobile merchandise must be either junked or sold by other used car dealers who do not have the best interests of the public at heart.
NEW SPRING IS BIG IMPROVEMENT
In taking over the exclusive distribution in Anaheim and vicinity of the Harvey spring, C. J. Nenno feels that he is making one of the worthiest additions to his stocks of accessories in years.
There is a special spring for each make of car, and even for each model. A prominent Orange County concern, the name of which Nenno is prepared to furnish to anybody interested, is replacing the springs on its Mack trucks with the Harvey spring, as fast as replacements are necessary, and has had no trouble whatever with the Harvey. Other springs of various makes have furnished no end of trouble.
The following in the makers' own words explains the superiority of the Harvey.

Other springs of various makes have furnished no end of trouble.
The following in the makers' own words explains the superiority of the Harvey:
"The object of the Harvey forming and tempering machine is to give every leaf of the spring exactly the same temper. Each plate is heated to exactly the same point. The plates are then removed one at a time and placed in the machine. The machine does the rest. It shapes the plates to the exact form required. Instantly on completing this operation, it automatically trips and plunges the whole in oil. This entire operation takes but about eight seconds from the fire to the tempering oil. This operation often takes a minute and a half in the old way. The maze is firmly held in the forms while it is tempered. It has no chance to lose its shape during the tempering process."
Farmers and others have "blocs." Why not a "blog" for consumers? They are longsuffering and heaven knows they need protection and championing.

JORDAN BROUGHAM STIRS ADMIRATION
The new Jordan silhouette brought am is a car in which the manufacturers again excel themselves, say the J. E. Walter Co., local distributors.
Snug, yet with ample room this fascinating car meets the demand of the modern woman for tangible value with distinction.
The Jordan brougham is a four-passenger car. Its body—always clean and inviting—offers wide vision and gratifying ventilation-control.
This beautiful new brougham—a type introduced five years ago by Jordan, is rapidly being imitated by the high priced car builders.
It is low and light in weight—you carry no excess bulk.
It has an up-to-date, exclusive Jordan motor with silent chain drive—the annoyance of noisy head gear is entirely eliminated.
It has a record for service rendered that is exceptional. Repair men tell us that Jordan cars keep running with less expense than any they know of.
In color, comfort, good taste and atmosphere, it is truly beautiful—the kind of an automobile you quickly learn to truly love.
Jordan owners constantly claim that this new Brougham has set the pace in style leadership.
Here is a car for the woman, who fearing the press of traffic, has got to know the pleasure and convenience of individually driving a light, nimble, easily handled automobile.
