INCREASED SPEED AND
POWER OF CHEVROLET.
Wildfire enthusiasm kindled
throughout the country last week
when the new Chevrolet line for 1928
went on display took particular ac
count of the many mechanical inno
vations embodied in the new car.
Thousands who viewed the new mod
els noted that the wheelbase was in
creased and bodies made roomier and
more beautiful, also that the mechan
ical features had been developed to a
measure heretofore unknown in the
low price class.
Outstandng developments in the
engine and chassis that received wide
spread endorsement were the increas
ed speed and power of the new car,
easier steering, four wheel brakes of
new design, shock obsorber springs
marking an advanced trend toward
riding comfort, and smoother engine
performance.
The last mentioned feature was
Achieved by the use of constant clear
ance alloy *invar strut’’ pistons which
make for smoother, more efficient mo
tor performance.
Further contributions toward this
end were gained by raising the com
pression ratio and by stepping up the
valve lifts Through these changes
maximum power is developed.
Other changes in the engine are the
addition of a breathing system to
eliminate the annoyance of engine
fumes; a new two-port exhaust, and
a silencing engine enclosure.
The four-wheel brakes are of non
locking design—the product of Chev
rolet laboratories plus the facilities
of General Motors laboratories and
proving grounds. Front brakes are
two-shoe unenergrized internals, while
the rear brakes are the energized ex
ternal, self-wrapping type. Front
and rear brakes have been proportion
ed to prevent side drag or pull. Each
brake has an individual adjustment
at the wheels, while ‘‘stops’* have
been provided to make the adjustment
process especially easy. Easy initial
pedal application throws the front
brakes into action. Further applica
tion throws front brakes harder into
action and also brings the rear brakes
into full play, so that it is possible to
slide the rear wheels on dry pavement
by using full pressure but not the
front wheels.
The effect of this, according to
Chevrolet engineers is to get uniform
wear on the brake lining.
The springs also are of extraordi
nary interest. Realizing that all un
comfortable spring action is the re
sult of rebound after striking a bump,
Chevrolet engineers set about to in
crease the friction of the springs and
thus check the rebound.
This end was achieved by equip
ping the springs with special rebound
checks. Two checks are on each
spring located half way between the
center spring shackle and the spring
end. These rebound checks are in
verted bow shaped steel leaves assem
bled under high pressure against the
top of the spring leaf, the ends press
ing against the top of the leaf, in-
creasng the resistance.
gather with giving closer association
between th© wardens for the execu
tion of their duties.
One day will be devoted to each of
seven counties which have forest pro
tective organizations in the southeast
I portion of the State.
The meeting in Moore county will
be held at the Court House on Janu
ary 5, at which time all of the ward
ens will assemble.
These meetings are considered to be
of vast importance since the Spring
season for forest fires begins about
February and all the warden forces
will be fully equipped and prepared
to meet the situation when it arrives.

STATE FOREST SERVICE
OUTLINE FIRE SCHOOLS.
Th© State Forest Service has out
lined a schedule of fire schools or
meetings at which all of the forest
wardens in respective counties will
meet to discuss the work of forest
fire protection and lay plans for car
rying on work during the next year.
These schools are intended primari
ly to give a thorough discussion and
understanding of the problems of for

Three Cars of Roofing
A short time ago attention was called to the fact that roof
ing is moving at a remarkable speed through the Pinehurst
Warehouses.
This week comes a car of Galvanized Roofing, in varied as
sortment
Following it are two cars of Johns-Mandeville Roofing.
A STORY GOES WITH THESE TWO CARS
Roofing distributors have been carrying on a little price war
in the last few days, and we could not] resist the chance to buy
these two cars of John-Mandeville Giant, three-tab style. Square
Stripe Shingles.
We got them at a price never before possible, and as the war
was brief they can’t be bought now at that price.
But we sell these two cars on the basis we paid for them, giv
ing our customers the benefit, and they are going quick when
they get here, which will be most any day.
Remember these are not light weights, nor inferior, nor in
any way off in quality. We get them because we cut into that
price-cutting, which lasted but a few days, and we sell them as
genuine Giant Strip Shingles, 240 pounds to the square, 5-inch
exposure, up to all specifications for this type of shingles, and
merely at a lower price. We can’t get any more at this price when
these are gone.
You all know Johns-Mandeville quality and goods. These are
Johns-Mandeville m everything but the price.
