EVERY CAR TESTED IN THE CHRYSLER LABORATORIES Science Called i; to Assist in Making Motor Cars Less Susceptible to Changing Elements Science is contributing more more to the modern motor car. Manufacturers‘ efforts constantly to build cars which will give finer perâ€" formance, even at the widest extremes of temperature, have opened wide the portals of research, inventiveness and ingenuity to step in and lend every assistance at their command. Chrysler is one company whose proâ€" gressive policies have afforded science its opportunity to assist in making motor cars constantly less susceptible to the changing elements. In its new engineering laboratories, Chrysler has a department where nearly every motor car unit and virtually every product consumed in motor car operation can be tested and carefully studied for its abilities down to temperatures far beâ€" low zero. In its Cold Room the operation of entire cars has been studied at temâ€" peratures which have reached as low as 36 degrees below zero, with experts checking and apparatus recording every possible detail of operation. â€" The lubricating ability and viscosity â€" of various oils; definite knowledge conâ€" cerning antiâ€"freeze solutions; capabiliâ€" ties of batteries, generators, starting and lighting systems; carburetor action and efficiencyâ€"all these and other abilities of the various engine parts under extreme conditions are carefully checked, recorded and passed on to the proper executives for further analysis and action. Immediately adjacent to this room is a compartment where temperatures go lower than 60 degrees below zero, providing still further possibility for study. What brakes will do under extreme conditions is of prime importance. Tire wear is also a concern. No owner would care to change tire on a blusâ€" Thursday, April 11th, 1929 se im YÂ¥ ‘“:‘ _ V*v"\ :R W-‘ n *z . We Invite You TARTING TODAY, and lastâ€" ing two weeks, we are holding a "Learnâ€"theâ€"Difference"" Fortâ€" night for the fullâ€"size Plymouth. We want you to drive a Plymouth and learn the difference between Plymouth performance and any other in the Plymouth price field. For there is a differenceâ€"an overâ€" whelming difference in the things Pilymouth does and how it does them. Seeâ€"Feelâ€"and Experiâ€" ence the Difference There is only one sure way in which you will know how decisive this difference actually is: That is to see, and feel and experienceâ€"to ride in and actually drive the Plymouth. We invite you to discover for yourself the fullâ€"size of the HERE IS AN OPPORTUNITY FOR EVERYBODY DURING Northland Motor Sales and tery day with the temperature hovering at 10 below zero. Under extreme temâ€" perature changes to points below zero, tire pressures are deflated rapidly. In the Cold Room, where variations from 20 above to 20 below may be made within a few hours, tire pressures dip downward nearly 20 pounds in that interim. Duplication of actual weather conâ€" ditions is always sought. Bitter cold is generally accompanied by wind. For this reason the room is fitted to dupliâ€" cate wind conditions a car would enâ€" counter travelling up to speeds of 40 miles an hour. This wind action is made possible by installing huge fans, electrically operated from outside the room, which stir up the atmosphere within as it would be by the operation of a car going along a road at any speed. At extreme temperatures the men wear face masks, in addition to their other arctic apparel, to protect their faces from the intense cold, particuâ€" larly with the windâ€"generating fans in operation. Danger from carbon monoxide fumes must be constantly watched, even though engine exhaust is piped out from the floor under strong suction. Alarms which sound throughout the engineering laboratories are always within reach of any inhabitant of any part of the room. A company regulaâ€" tion also prevents any member of this special testing staff from working in the Cold Room except under immeâ€" diate supervision from the windows outside it, owing to the possible danâ€" ger from exposure to cold, escaping gases or other cause. The room has been thoroughly equipped for analysis of every phenâ€" omena that may occur in motor car operation through the subjection of entire Chryslerâ€"built cars or their parts, to operation under these exâ€" treme temperatures. It is of sufficient size so that several tests may be conâ€" ducted simultanously by various memâ€" bers of this special scientific staff. The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€""Miss Ruby Sullivan, of Timâ€" mins, is spending some time at her home here. to Discover Plymouth Superiorities Behind the Wheel Plymouth which seats five adults in comfortâ€"to note its easyâ€"riding lengthinessâ€"to see how sharply it contrasts with the small dimensions usually associated with cars at anyâ€" where near its low price. Fifteen minutes at the Plymouth wheel will convincingly reveal how wide a margin separates the Plyâ€" mouth fromall other cars that attempt to compete with it in its priceâ€"group. Do Not Miss This Great Opportunity Take advantage of Plymouth "Learnâ€"theâ€"Difference" Fortâ€" night at once. See the unmatched featuresâ€"experience the unpreceâ€" dented performance. We are eager and anxious to have you put every Plymouth claim to 18 PINE STREET,SOUTH Te]ephone 400 TIMMINS, ONTARIO New Essex Noteworthy for Its 140 Improvements The Essex Superâ€"Six nas enjoyed the largest demand of any six cylinder car in the world. Hudson has pioneered a number of developments, Hudson inâ€" troduced the sedan, the closed car at open prices that led the revolution from open to closedâ€"car dominance, and also introduced among other thing.s the first successful lowâ€"priced six. Hudâ€" son, coincident with the introduction of its bigger, better, more powerful and more stylishly beautiful Hudson and Essex models for 1929, at reduced prices announced a production schedule of a quarter of a million cars for the first half of this yearâ€"an output nearly equal to the record output for the enâ€" tire year just closed. There are 140 improvements in the new Essex. Its speed is in excess of 70 miles per hour, and its horsepower has been increased by twentyâ€"five per cent. The new Essex is a decidedly better looking car than its predecessor and a better performer in every way. A convertible coupe and town sedan have been added to the body models. TO GUARD AGAINST FRAUD IN REGARD TO WOLF BOUNTY In an editorial note last week The Mail and Empire said:â€""If Ontario inâ€" creases the bounty on wolves without the coâ€"operation of other provinces and also of some of the states it may create a new industry, just as British Columâ€" bia has done. In the interest of safety to man and beast the British Columbia government has been paying $40 a skin bounty on cougars. Last year nearly 450 were reported to have been killed and the bounty amounted to $11,760. The officials concluded that many more must be at large and to save the counâ€" try from being eaten alive, persuaded the legislature at the present session to increase the bounty from $40 to $50 a skin. But a man at Williams lake has been committed for trial on a charge of importing cougar skins from the United States, where the bounty is negligible, and obtaining money on false pretences by presenting them for the British Columbia bounty." THE PORCUPINE ADVANCE, TIMMINS, ONTARIO the test, to learn for yourself what a vast difference there actually is, in performance, appearance and value, between Plymouth and other cars in its priceâ€"class. Once you drive a Plymouth and learn the difference, you will never be content with any other car. Your judgment will insist that you own a Plymouth. We are eager to have you realize the many outstandâ€" ing advantages of the Plyâ€" mouth. Come and drive the carâ€" see for yourself how and why it excels. There is not the least obligaâ€" fion. Come in today! M LAUGHLINâ€"BUIGK MODELS STRIKING AND ORIGINAL Models for 1929 are Larger, Faster and More Powerful,. No Car on Road Comparable to McLaughlinâ€" Buick Three completely new and strikâ€" ingly original series of sixes comprise the 1929 McLaughlinâ€"Buick line. They are longer, larger, faster and more powerful, but more immediately apâ€" parent are their remarkable new body lines and colours. There is no car now on the road to which the new McLaughlinâ€"Buick may be compared, a fact which makes desâ€" cription â€" difficult. However, among the innovations affecting its appearâ€" ance may be listed the gentle "swellâ€" ing" of the body, just below the winâ€" dows, which are arched across their top where they were formerly straight; a complete blending of the side and roof lines in a pleasing curve which is carried around the sides and rear of the car; massive, graceful new radiâ€" ator emphasizing the curve motif furâ€" ther; new oneâ€"piece front fenders and long and deep rear fenders. The car‘s appearance is still further enhanced by smaller wheels and larger section tires, which make the new Mcâ€" Laughlinâ€"Buick seem lower, though its road clearance is actually unchanged. Large new hubs, new easyâ€"on radiator cap of radical typeâ€"elliptical instead of roundâ€" and reâ€"location of the tradeâ€" mark, in a new and distinctive monoâ€" gram, on the radiator honeyâ€"combing instead of the shell, lend additional touches of beauty. The new head and parking lamps, on their chromiumâ€" plated brackets also are noteworthy features. Interior refinements include a comâ€" pletely adjustable front seat in every closed model, longer gearshift lever, footâ€"operated cowl ventilators, and A tandemâ€"blade electric windshield wipâ€" er cleaning right across. The severely plain instrument panel is entirely new, being simply a grouping of the dials on the black background of the dash The 90â€"mile speedometer is mounted direcly before the @river, and the hydroâ€"static gasoline gauge is of thel latest and most accurate type. | Less apparent to casual eye, but no less vital, are the enlarged and improvâ€" ed power plant and strengthened chassis, designed to provide a reserâ€" voir of energy and reserve of safety. Wheel base lengths in each of the three series have been extended an inch, the new lengths being 116â€"inch, 121â€"inch and 129â€"inch. Horsepower of the two McLaughlinâ€"Buick engines has been stepped up, that of the smal}â€" er from 63 to 74 and the other from 77 to 90%. Increased piston displacement acâ€" counts for part of the power increase, the remainder being due to new deâ€" sign of camshaft, valve mechanism, carburetor, intake manifold and exâ€" haust. The power increase is out of proportion to the increase in weight. While some of the engine and chassis improvements, notably the addition of mechanical fuel pump, are seemingly radical departures, none of them afâ€" fects the car‘s basic design. The "vibrationless performance" claimed for McLaughlinâ€"Buick‘s engine has been guarded in preparation of the 1929 car, specifications show. ‘The crankshaft is heavier and so are bearâ€" ings, pistons, and pins, while greater attention than ever before has been paid to their balancing as a single working unit. And McLaughlinâ€"Buick has now cradled the entire engine in mountings of thick, soft rubber, to abâ€" sorb the last vestiges of vibration. Smoothness of clutch action is ensurâ€" ed by tiny undulations or "waves" on each of the ten plates which permit the driving and driven forces to enâ€" gage gradually. Despite the advance in performance built into the 1929 McLaughlinâ€"Buick, its gasoline consumption remains virtuâ€" ally unchanged, and it operates effiâ€" ciently on any fuel. Retention of the centralized lubrication system introâ€" duced in the 1928, models makes it easy to grease, and heightened economy of servicing is sought by several of the mechanical improvements, such as the interchangeable main bearings. A simple and ingenious method of lubriâ€" cating the differentiat gears oy deflectâ€" ing the grease within the differential housing downward upon the gears is a distinct advance. Eighteen models, a complete range of open and closed cars on three wheelâ€" base lengths, make up the line. “f’z%i?fi@e The Chevrolet dealer, ofering the fnest of new car values, is in the best position to supply outstanding values in Used Cars.

Timmins, Ontario. â€" "throatâ€"easy‘ NATIVE OF BELGIUM TO TRY FARMING NEAR NEW LISKEARD The New Liskeard Speaker last week says:â€""A newcomer to the Township of Harris is Mr. R. E. Graffe, a native of Belgium who is about to try out farming in Temiskaming. We are sure our citizens will extend a hearty welâ€" come to Mr. Graffe. Mr. Graffe‘s brother is a Professor in the Univerâ€" sity in Detroit, Mich., and was to have spent Easter here with his brother. He started to come here in his autoâ€" mobile, but was unable owing to road conditions to reach North Bay where he would have taken the train. He then found that he couldâ€"not get here and back to his college duties at reâ€" opening, so he returned home. Dr. Graffe will visit Temiskaming during the summer."

(IN LONDON A. SHILLING) O all the thousands of Used Car buyers throughout Canada who so greatly assisted the Chevrolet dealers to reduce their Used Car stocks through the recent sale, we offer sincere thanks. We are confident you will be more than satisfied with your car and with the value you received . . and we look forward to a continuance of your goodwill. Although the past month saw a veritable "cleanâ€"up" of used cars, yet the Spring demands for new Chevrolet Sixes have been so great that our dealers are fast replenishingy their used car stocks and can offer many more unusual values. To all who have not yet decided on their car, we urge an immediate inspection of these fine used cars at astonâ€" ishingly low prices. CHEVROLET MOTOR COMPANY OF CANADA, LIMITED (Subsidiary of General Motors of Canada, Limited ) OSHAW A LET DEALERGS MAPS FOR PROSPECTORS FOR RIDOUT AND WOMAN RIVER Geological maps on scale of one mile to one inch of the Ridout and Woman River areas, Ontario, have just been published by the Geological Surâ€" vey.
