?-1 ompletely new styling joins with numerous mechanical I
improvements to make the new 1941 Chevrolet, now on j
display at all dealers', a worthy successor to the cars j
which have earned first place in public favor year after
year. The greater size and roominess of the new models,
as well as their sleek new l>eauty. are apparent In the
Special l)e Luxe Sport Sedan, shown above.
At (2) ia show n the spacious interior of the aarae model's
rear compartment, and at (3) ia its front compartment,
showing two-spoke steering wheel with horn-blowing ring,
new sliding-type sun visors, and smartly re-styled dash.
One of the major changes la substitution of concealed
safety-steps (4) for the running boards of other years, an
Improvement adding to the car's beauty without sacrifice
of the safety and convenience which running boarda pro
ride. At (5) is the six-cylinder Chevrolet valve-in-head
engine for 1941, in which many refinements have been
made. Horsepower la increased from H5 to90 without affect
ing economy; and cooling, lubrication and carburetion
are all improved. In circle is the new switch which reverses
the ignition current polarity each time the starter Is oper

Sour Milk Will Ruin
Your Kitchen Sink
It you spill sour milk on the
kitchen sink, wipe it up promptly.
Sour milk, fruit juices, vegetable and
other acids will ruin enamel or por
celain unless promptly removed."
This is one of many helpful hints
for housewives in United States
Housing Authority low-rent public
housing projects contained in "ten
ant handbooks" distributed by local
housing authorities. The booklets
are designed to make housekeeping
easier and to reduce maintenance ex
pense. One issued by the Memphis
(Tenn.) Housing Authority to ten
ants of its "Lauderdale Courts" proj
ect is typical.
Amplifying the admonition on
care of sinks and drainboards. this
manual warns: "The porcelain of the
sink and drainboard will not stand
heavy blows from cooking utensils
or other objects, and is easily ruin
ed by hot skillets or by scraping
utensils over it."
Advice is given also on the care of
floors, painted surfaces, plumbing
fixtures, etc., and on proper use of
refrigerators and ranges.
