and embody the lastest.improvements
and accessories of the automotive
industry to'increase the comfort and
pleasure of motoring. - Much attention
has been given to beautifying the
appearance of the new models and
among other innovations is the Use
of the Duco finish. t s
For several months past there has
been a consistent and steadily grow-
ing demand for Chevrolet cars with
special fittings. As quickly as this
trend appeared, factory officials
started to work on the De Luxe
models. Research and experimental
work tested every. accessory before
it was selected, and the color experts
of the General Motors Corporation,
Chevrolet Motor Company, du Pont
Company, makers of Duco finish,
and the Fisher Body Company were
consulted before the finish of the
new cars was decided upon. In fact
every factor entering into the make-
up of the De Luxe models was
thoroughly proven before the com-
pany started production on the new
styles which now complete the Chev-
rolet line.
The De Luxe sedan has a double
Duco finish in blue, with a contrast-
ing red trim. This is further set off
by the nickled radiator, head cowj
lights and aluminum kick plates.
This, as are the other two De Luxe
models, is equipped with disc wheels,
front and rear double-bar bumpers,
motor meter, etc;
The De Luxe touring is also fin-
ished in Duco in a gray, a deep slate
color which harmonizes with the up-
holstry of a shade lighter tone.
The Coupe has a roomy, two pas-
senger body finished in the' same
rich blue as the sedan. Both the
coupe and sedan have special deep
velour upholstry with Marshall type
springs. The upholstry is a gray
that harmonizes with the blue fin-
ish.
Save Some of Your Old. Corn
The spring of 1924 was unusually
backward in many sections. Follow-
ing this, the growing conditions
were not good, with the result that
the bulk of the corn is extremely
late throughout the Corn Belt and
northward. It is so late that most
of the crop will be unfit for seed
unless frost holds off longer than
usual.
The United States Department of
Agriculture is calling * attention to
this fact at the present time in order
to prevent, if possible, a serious
seed-corn situation in the spring*of
1925. The higher prices for corn in
the yast few weeks are drawing
much of the old crop from the
farms. Farmers not having enough
seed corn for 1925 left over from
last year’s supply should save the
best of their bulk crib from which
to obtain seed, if necessary. If this
year’s crop is killed by frost before
vide a source from which seed can
it is mature, this old corn will pro-
be selected for planting in 1925.
