NEW "BLUEBIRD" WORTHY OF NAME Even before Maurice Materlink immortalized the "Bluebird as the elusive spirit of happiness, it was heralded by natives of its accustomed localities as the authentic advance agent of spring. In the cold countries the first bluebird sighted was a sure sign that the last snow had fallen, the farmers begin to tinker up their implements and tools preparatory to launching their spring plowing campaign. Spring was late this year and so were the bluebirds. In fact, the arrival of the "Bluebirds" in Los Angeles maintain the reputation of the little feathered harbinger for accuracy, for the spring touring season has really just started. The Overland Bluebird is the newest sport model to be presented to the admiring public by the Willys-Overland dealers of Southern California. It is said to be the lowest priced motor car carrying genuine balloon tires as standard equipment. "The combination of a long roomy body done in rich Bluebird blue, set off by black fenders and running gear, smartened by nickle radiator, windshield stanchions and outside door handles, with upholstery of a blueish shade to match the body, and a top of similar hue creates an appearance of spring and sparkle that is entirely in keeping with its happy choice of model name," said W. R. Schanrals, local Willys-Knight and Overland distributor. "A new standard in riding quality has been reached in the Bluebird in coupling the patented Triplex spring suspension with full balloon tires. The wheel base of the Bluebird is 106 inches an inch cradle quality spring base, 136 inches." CITY COURTS ARE ALSO INACTIVE (Continued from Page One) touched Anaheim as yet. Officers Franklin Worsts Rivals in Hard Run (Continued from Page One) mountains, where one could look over precipices hundreds of feet high. It was the most gruelling test that could possibly be devised to give a motor car, as authorities agree that the road as traveled was one of the worst that could be found in the entire United States. Only by the most careful kind of driving could damage to crankcases, wheels, tires and steering devices be avoided. Turns had to be made in the forests where the fenders just scraped the bark of the trees. Deep sand that necessitated heavy-pulling made the cars use every atom of power. Tree stumps, large rocks and ledges had to be climbed over on almost impossible grades. For mile after mile there was not one hundred yards of road that did not jar the occupants of the car from their seats. Sharp, narrow curves were negotiated with extreme caution, some of them requiring the cars to move back and forward before they could be driven around them. Slopes in the roads would cause the revolving wheels to pick up gravel and stones and send it down in the canyons hundreds of feet below. One arroyo approximately 50 feet across was filled with boulders that struck the highest axles and in some instances rubbed a metal filing off the bottom of the crankcases. Mountain grade after grade was traversed in low gear by all of the cars. The run into Bisbee, Arizona, also tried the cars to their utmost on account of the severe grades Between Hurley and Deming high winds were met. After leaving Deming the Caravan traveled in the sandstorm, with the wind blowing a gale from the rear, causing many of the cars to overheat because of boiling. Historic points touched on the tour were: Ft. Stockton, Texas, Albuquerque, Globe, Florence, Tucson, Tombstone, Douglas and Silver City. In several of the cities the residents tendered the party public recommendations.

He said he driven in almost every state in the Union, but the Springerville-Globe road was the toughest stretch that I have ever seen it is a real test for any car. feel that the success of Franklin in both the endurance and economy tests is another triumph for the air-cooled motors The car is in as good shape when it left the factory. There are no noises in either motor chassis or body. The condition of the car is remarkable when it considered that it was driven from Syracuse to El Paso, more than 2700 miles in nine days time, then given the most rigid and structive test possible. Besides Mr. Texada of Franklin factory, Jack Knabba of advertising department acted as an official observer and K. Trevor of the service department drove a Franklin over the entrance which was used as press car.

A close inspection of the Nash six touring leaves one conclusion unavoidable, says the company. That is that Nash does offer considerably more in the way of sound and substantial motor car value. One reason for this is that Nash builds practically all of each car—a greater percentage, we believe, than is true of any other manufacturer. This has an obvious advantage, aside from economy, since it enables rigid control of quality and inflexible application of precision production to each process. Another reason is that no company in the moderate-price field has gone farther than Nash in the refinement of design, construction, and performance. To sum it up—there is more put in the car and you get more out of it, in dependability. $21.00 Other sizes in same proportion These special prices are being made to make room for Balloon Tires that are due to arrive any day.
