1 ne picturesque Ohio rtver, with its
background of romantic show-boats,
gamblers and adventurers, is now
' spanned by jk new S6.000.000 bridge,
linking LoulsvlUe. Ky„ with Jeffer-
bonvllle, Ind.
Engineering skill and the art ol the
stone carver are deftly combined in
the 5.800-foot structure, known as
the Interstate Highway bridge.
eighty carloads of stone were used
in the cctaMal span, according to
President A E. Dickinson of the In-
diana Limestone Company.
The ornamental treatment, featur-
ing four giant sculptured eagles atop
huge- carved columns, lends an im-
pressive note of strength and beauty
to the approach at either end.
Designed and engineered by Mod-
Jeskl and Masters, the bridge repre-
sents the finest thought in such con-
struction, both from a structural and
a design standpoint. It Is the best
of their work. Ralph Modjeskl, son
of the late tragedienne, Helen Mod-
jeskl, has been awarded the John
Fritz Oold medal In recognition of
his life's work Both Messrs. Modjeskl
and Masters have been Identified
with many ot America's most notable
bridges
Business between the two states
will be facilitated by the hew con-
necting link Mr Dickinson said

Never has a Chevrolet oar won greater
praise for its appearance than the new
Chevrolet Six. Ifsnew Fisher bodies
reveal in every det&il the artistry that
has made the Fisher name famous
throughout the motor car world. In
beauty of line and. color, in balance
and harmony of de^gn, they represent
one of the greatest'style triumphs in
Fisher history. Upholsteries are richer
and more durable. The instrument
panel carries a new and more attrao
tive grouping of the control instru-
ments. Seats are -wider and deeper.
In fact, not a single feature has been
overlooked that would
add to the comforttand
convenience of both
driver and passengers.

In addition to its new beauty, the new
Chevrolet Six represents a remarkable
advance in every phase of perform*
ance. Its improved six-cylinder valve*
in-head engine has been increased to
50 horsepower—giving faster acceler-
ation, and greater reserve power.
Steering has been made safer and easier.
Four Lovejoy hydraulic shock absorbers
provide exCeptidnal riding comfort.
Fully enclosed, internal'expanding;
weather-proof btakes give positive
braking control. And numerous struc-
tural improvements add to the car's
dependability, endurance and long
life. Come in today
and see this car. And
remember, it is now
viiiable—
