PAGE TWO OAKLAND BRAKES SIMPLE IS CLAIM Before adopting the mechanical type of four-wheel brakes the General Motors Co. spent months of time and thousands of dollars in exhaustive tests and research work, according to Harry L. Turton, Anahaim Oakland dealer, and the result of the tests decided them in favor of the mechanical type. "Simplicity was the deciding factor in the matter of four-wheel brakes," says Turton, "as far as the General Motors laboratories were concerned and the mechanical brake is the personification of simplicity." "The Perrot system, developed on the continent in Europe and used by 48 out of the 79 cars exhibited at the Paris Salon has been adopted for use by General Motors and is employed on the Oakland six. This system has only 245 parts as compared with 574 parts employed by the simplest of other than mechanical types." "Adjustment is a simple matter with the Perrot system. Wing nuts, easily reached at the rear and at the front permit of hand adjustment and this is accomplished in such a way that the current novice finds no difficulty in setting the correct adjustment." The Oakland True Blue Traveler which has run many more than 10,000 miles under the most adverse conditions, is still functioning with perfect efficiency on all four brakes. This in itself is sufficient evidence of the dependability of this type of brake. "Weather and climatic conditions cannot effect the working of the mechanical four-wheel brake. Its operation is the same day in and day out." RILEY USED CARS ARE ALL REBUILT PERFORMANCE OF BUICK IS LAUDED Bill Goodrum of the Motor Sales Co., Inc., Anaheim and Fullerton Buick distributors, has received the following communication from J. B. Hutchins, salesman of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co: "I know that you will be glad to know of my experience, after "In these days of good it is not surprising to see increasing number of la drivers their own!" said Manager Knox of the H. Motor Co., local Essex. "After trying the joys of their cars for themselves wherever and whenever please, the next logical step is to demand a car that easily handled on long out fatigue." RILEY USED CARS ARE ALL REBUILT Harry D. Riley's used car department announces a big reduction in prices, and Manager Twitchell, of this department, says no such values were ever before offered the buying public as does the present stock of rebuilt and guaranteed cars. The individual paint jobs are beautiful and the plan of refinishing cars to suit individual taste is proving very popular. Every finished job is guaranteed to be satisfactory to the purchaser. Any that are not will be done over free of charge, regardless of color. "We guarantee every battery for 50 days, and you are guaranteed full value for your money in every sense of the statenear," said Twitchell. "Our repair department is the finest equipped, best managed and best maintained shop in Orange co. Every employee who works on our used cars has but one thought in mind, that is every car when sold must be a credit to the house of Riley. Every minute detail is taken care of in the process of conditioning of our cars; every unit is cleaned and inspected; worn parts are replaced, bearing adjusted, spring shackles tightened and bushings replaced if necessary. Tires are replaced if not over 15% of their original value. Body and fenders are straightened if bent and new fenders are put on if necessary. Upholstery and carpets are renewed if necessary." Then the painter takes off all of the old paint and rebuilds the job with from six to ten coats. "The result is when you buy a reconditioned car from us you are assured perfect satisfaction, and PERFORMANCE OF BUICK IS LAUDED Bill Goodrum of the Motor Sales Co., Inc., Anaheim and Fullerton Buick distributors, has received the following communication from J. B. Hutchins, salesman of the Goodyear Tire & Rubber Co.: "I know that you will be glad to know of my experience, after driving my 1924 4-cylinder Buick roadster 14,052 miles, over all sorts of roads and conditions in Southern California. "I drive about 2,000 miles a month in my work, and it takes a reliable car to stand up 'in my work.'" "The Buick has done everything that a car should do. No delays, in fact the mechanical work has consisted in grinding valves only." "Original tires are still in service, and gas consumption has been satisfactory." "I am particularly well pleased with 'four wheel brakes' and would not be without them." New Chevrolet Model Here Soon Frank P. Taggart's men are waiting impatiently for the new Chevrolet touring de luxe model to arrive here. This sport car has a standard chassis, body hand-finished by Pisher in gray blue, cardinal striping, gray whole grain fabric-old upholstery, gray top lining, 30 by 3½ cord tires, nickelled bumpers front and rear, nickelled radiator shell, cowl lamps, plate glass windshield wings, locking steering wheel, aluminium guards on rubber covered running boards, notometer, nickelled cap with bars and steel disc wheels. Classified Ads Bring Good Results the hundreds of people who have bought from us will tell you this is the safest place to buy a used car." Valve Grinding Perfected With this last word in equipment valves are ground to an amazing degree of accuracy—insuring a remarkably smooth motor with more power and less gas consumption. Cost is no More. Results most gratifying. Bob WhiteCo. 332 W.

Grove Motor Co., local Essex dealer. After trying the joys of piloting their cars for themselves, going wherever and whenever they please, the next logical step was to demand a car that would be easily handled on long trips without fatigue. "It took several years of experimenting for factories to perfect the motor car to the point now reached by Essex—a mechanically dependable car, combining power with economy, speed with quick acting brakes, and a new spring suspension with easy riding qualities that amaze the uninitiated." In consequence of this the Essex six is rapidly increasing the number of lady drivers on the deserts of the southwest. It is no longer necessary for them to re-main in the city or travel on the paved highway. Long trips across country may safely be undertaken by them, without fear of mechanical difficulties, or physical exhaustion. "Even in Arizona, part of which has notoriously poor roads, the lady driver finds enjoyment in the Essex. According to a letter received by Harold L. Arnold, Essex distributor from his branch in Phoenix, Essex sales to women have doubled since the six came on the market in January." IOWA SLUMP CAME EARLY SAYS BOYES Even conservative Iowa speculated in land during the boom days in grains, according to W.T. Boyes of the Nash-Boyes Co., Nash distributor. Iowa's depression preceded that of the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, etc., but it also was severe, says Boyes. Values declined in some cases from around $400 per acre to $250, and the safety of many first mortgages, proverbially sound on Iowa farms, was underlined. Conditions were at their worst about a year ago last fall. Boyes was a cattle buyer in central Iowa and previously was located in Minnesota. He spent last winter in New Mexico and because of his health gradually worked toward California, where he has decided to make his home. CARBURETOR EXCHANGE HERE RADIO TONIGHT K. H.

ANAHEIM IGNITION DEPOT A. BEVILLARD, Prop. Est. 1912 218 So. Los Angeles St. Phone 489 STORAGE BATTERIES Willard Saturday, May 3, 1924 Growth of Western Auto Supply Reads Like Novel The celebration, commencing April 30 of the openir of the 100th Western Auto Supply Co. store stimulates curiosity as to the methods followed thereby an accessory business grew from a comparatively humble start until in 8 years, it is the foremost business of its kind on se Pacific coast, if not in the entire United States, with a gross business in 1923 of over $8,000,000. The Western Auto supply Co. opened its first store Los Angeles in 1915. Gee Pepperdine, the founder of the company and its present head, just arrived in Los Angeles for his health, after selling at the controlling interest in prosperous chain of accessory stores in the middle west. He read that the west, with its network of splendid highways and its wealth of unsurpassed scenery would eventually prove a mecca automobile tourists from all parts of the North American continent and abrewdly surmise that a chain of accessory stores properly managed and with aerial sales policy, would prove almost immediate success. Time has put him to right in his belt. The first Los Angeles store not been long in operation until was deemed wise to open. Second store in San Francisco, third opened at a later date in nix, Ariz., and since then the expansion of the Western Auto Co. and the consequent riff the Pepperdines in the press world has read like a time of Horatio Alger. Pepperdine's expert judge of merchandise and is also possessed, fortunately, of the knack of knowing just what accessories will sold and which will not. Note of Western Auto Co.'s success has been to stock merchandise in enormous quantities or to get the best prices, and sold at a price that barely allows for store expenses and a small unit profit. Pepperdine is active in the management of the Western Auto Supply Co. and dictates all its policies. It is his insistence that no merchandise be carried in the stores that the store canont absolutely recommend and his iron-clad policy of giving the best to be had in automobile accessories at the lowest possible price that has promoted the growth of the organization to an enviable strength among the merchantising institutions in the west. Western Auto has never started into a new year without a definite program for expansion. In the past year there was completed in Los Angeles a magnificent four-story and basement home that houses the main store and general offices of the concern. In addition to this upwards of 25 new stores were opened. It is ample proof, then, of the favor in which Western Auto is held by the motoring public, when it is known that in the face of this expansive program of building and growth the company paid to its common stockholders annual dividends of 14 per cent after first paying 8 per cent on a large issue of preferred stock. During the month of May this company is due to make many new friends. Starting May 1, every Western Auto store will feature quality accessories at greatly reduced prices in a special savings sale which will last the entire month. Pepperdine has stated that if it were not for the friendship and continued patronage of the motoring public the enormous growth of Western Auto would not have been possible, and that during the month of May he intended to give every motorist an opportunity to share in the profits of the company thru lowered prices on accessories and automobile supplies. In view of the fact that Western Auto prices have always been MAXWELL SPIRITUAL—Sunday school 9:15. Sermon, 10:30; English sermon, 7:20.
