THE ELDOMDO SUCCESS
OF AND FOR EL DORADO AND SCHLEICHER COUNTY. ALL THE TIME
About 1,000 people attended
the big barbecue and dance at
the Hudspeth ranch last week.
Several from Eldorado attended
the gathering. Plans were dis-
cussed by which the blowfly may
be exterminated. Evidence was
introduced to show that the blow
fly was more detrimental to the
livestock financial interests than
any other pest known to the in-
dustry. The ranchers also dis-
cussed ways and means to do a-
way with the “loco weed”, an-
other detriment to the live-
stock interest.
El Dorado, Schleicher County, Texas, Friday, November 23, 1928

THE NEW FORD
Incrasing the ratio of strength
to weight has been one of the
or standing recent tendencies in
the automotive industry. In the
Ford factories, this tendency
has been carried to lengths whic
have resulted in some revolution-
ary processes, and some origins
applications of old processes
The rear axle shaft of the Model
A Ford car and Model AA Ford
truck is one of the interesting
examples of how substantially
increased strength is being ob
tained in a price of material of
?iven weight.
The story of this Ford rear
axle shaft is the story of how
a bar of steel from the rolin'
moll, having the same properties
throughout its length, emerges
from the factory as an axl<
shaft, containing no less than
three distinct conditions of steel
in one piece each condition de-
signed to perform a different
kind of work. It is all a matter
of heating and re-heating, tem-
pering and hardening, in auto-
matic furnaces that insure ab-
solute uniformity of production.

ters inch stroke with a 194 cubic
inch piston displacement.
The sneed has been stepped up
to satisfy the maximum require-
ments and in acceleration the
new motor is vastly superior to
any previous Chevrolet model.
This remarkable acceleration is
due partly to the use of the new
accelerating pump. When the ac-
celerator is suddeuly depressed
this pump forces a small quanti-
ty of gasoline into the manifold
of the carburetor, giving the car
the instant power and get-away
so necessary in modern traffic.
On actual dynamometer tests
the new engine develops 46
horse power at low engine speed.
At all ordinary speeds it devel-
ops from three to four times the
amount of power needed to drive
the car.
Another advanced feature is
the fuel pump which insures a
positive and uniform supply of
gasoline to the carburetor under
all driving conditions, regardless
of engine speed, load or road
grade. A gasoline filter, built in
as part of the fuel pump insures
only clean gasoline reaching the
'carburetor and t >gine. The car-
buretor is furtfh r protected by u
new type AC air cleaner which
prevents grit and (hist from en-
tering.
