Scores of Distinct Improvements Noticeable in 1930
Linev of  Gars Shown
Last Saturday
The Chevrolet Motor Company Saturday announced a, new car tor 1930
Smown as' "The"Greatest, Chevrolet In
'Chevrolet Histpry,*'' ;
Announcement sot the new ear
.. comes right at the .close of Chevrolet's greatest year, for the sensation-
*al success of*the six-cylinder Chevrolet, Introduced just a year ago, result-
' ed In an output of 1,350,000 cars this
year, 'breaking by a wide margin all
idrmef Chevrolet annual production
records. *
In making public Chevrolet's plans
for 1930, W. S. Knudsen, president
•and 'general manager, declared that
With the improvements incorporated
in the new car, Chevrolet was antic-
Ipat'ittg a volume of business that will
equal, if not,surpass, the phenomenal
record of 1929. And, in order to accommodate an-early demand, production is being speeded with all the
ibaste consistent with the precision
methods for which Chevrolet manufacturing operations are famous.
New car shipments have been go'ng
out to dealers for the past ten days,
with deliveries 'to owners scheduled
to start Saturday. The cars went on
display Saturday morning in thousands of Chevrolet showrooms from
coast to coast, while at the same time
the announcement of the new car was
being broadcast through the advertising columns of more than 6,500 .-newspapers.
Scores of distinct improvements
have been made in the 1930 Chevrolet
line, the factory announces. Greater
beauty, added safety factors, improved r'ding comfort and better all-round
' performance with added power, and
taster acceleration are announced as'
features of the new line.
Larger tires, small wheels, Delco
Love joy hydraulic shock absorbers at
all four wheels, Fisher slanting none-
glare. Vy windshield and vastly improved four wheel braking system are
some of the highlights.
Brakes are of the internal expanding ".articulated shoe type" both front
and rear, those on the front wheels
having two shoes while those on the
rear have four. These brakes, also,
are fully enclosed giving perfect protection against water and dirt.
The brakes represent an innovation
not only in the Chevrolet line but In
the entire passenger car field. The
length of service that these linings
give' in the' new design Chevrolet
brakes is second to none. The brakes
may be adjusted without the removal
of any plates from the brake drum
and.operate with equal efficiency on'
all four wheels. The brake drums are
11 1-2 inch in diameter. The emergency brake is an independent unit
operating on the rear drums. A new
method of construction known as the
"articulated shoe type" assures uniform braking under all conditions of
temperature. Tests at the General
Motors Proving Ground show that the
' new brake will stop a car traveling
thirty miles per hour in two and two-
tenth seconds within 48 feet.
The attractive new closed bodies, in
a variety of colors, carry the famous
Fisher stamp of craftsmanship. Eight
models, three of which are new to
Chevrolet, comprise the line. Of the
eight, five are closed cars and three
are open. The closed cars are the
sedan, coach, coupe, sport coupe and
club sedan. The open models are the
roadster, sport roadster and phaeton.
The models new to the line this year
are the sport coupe, sport roadster
and club sedan.        f
The six cylinder valve-in-head
engine introduced a year ago, after
foui* years Of research and development, has been further improved and
refined. Since the introduction of the
six a year ago, test cars have run up
more than a million miles of driving
at the General Motors Proving Ground
in the working out and the justifying1
of the.improvements found in the 1930
car. All the resources of the General
Motors Research Laboratories and the'
Chevrolet experimental laboratory:
were placed at the disposal of the
Chevrolet engineering staff in this,
work.
Wonting with Chevrolet's chief
engineer, were General Motors engineers and Proving Ground engineers,
with 18 Chevrolet engineers assisting
their chief in supervising the development and refinement of the improved
«ix- cylinder motor found in "the
greatest Chevrolet."
The result of the efforts of this
engineering talent is a smoother,
qiv'eter, more powerful motor. The
new engine, fully enclosed, with a
high compression non-detonating
head, develops tfo horsepower.

Excellent Reports and Bright
Future in Store
As the members of the Baptist
church assembled Sunday morning
Lhey were pleased to notice a visitor
of distinction in their midst and upon
opening of worship the pastor introduced Rev. GJenn, a colporter from
the American Baptist Publication
dociety .with headquarters at Chicago.
This reverend gentleman gave the
morning address which was a splendid testimony of his faith and sincerity in his Maker. He dealt slightly
on his work as he travels throughout
the state visiting and working amon^i
ine different churches of the denomination.
In the evening the large congregational was again surprised when
the Pastor led into the baptismal
waters two young women, one the
efficient Bible School superintendent
and the other an esteemed member of
the choir, who were buried with their
Lord in baptism. After the baptism
the Lord's Supper was observed at
which time a goodly number partook
and the new members welcomed into

The Clare Merchants Basketball
Association team had a game scheduled with the Big Rapids Independent;:

and when only three of the Big Rapids players arrived oh the scene,
James Johnson of this city, and one
of the speetat'd'rs front the audience
were drafted to play with the visitors.
The stranger proved to be an experienced player, and for a time the
Merchants team seemed on the road
to defeat, for the score at the end of
the first quarter was 8 to 3 in favor
of their opponents. The Big Rapids
team still led at the end of the half,
but the locals perfected their organization in the third period, and closed
that session 21 to 11 in their favor.
The manager then made substitutions, but the new combination did not
work out well, and a quick change in
the personnel of the team was made
to check the onrush of their opponents, who scored 8 points in less than
two minutes. The final score was 24

 AND HARRISON
Efforts to improve the dairy practices of Clare County Farmers will
feature the Extension program of the

to dairymen is a feeding school of 3
sessions or meetings. Each discussion will deal with a different phase
of dairy feeding. The meetings will
be in charge of a representative of
the Dairy Department of Michigan

ber 15th, 1852,    coming   to    America  .
during early life.   She was united in
marriage to Karl August. Kapplinger
January 28, 1875.     This   union   was
blessed with eight' children, one dying
in infancy.   Those surviving are Mrs.
Rose   Weburg,   of  * South     Haven,-

nn a farm for several years, and then
they located in Gano, 111. January

home for thirty-five years.
In youth Mrs. Kapplinger was very ,
devoted to her home and parents and
remained there until she had grown
to womanhood. After her marriage
the same devotion prevailed in her
family. Being a splendid example of
a thrifty religious German stock, always industrious, well grounded in
morality and religion,. she leaves a
worthy heritage to those who now
take up her work. She was a membe'r
of the St. John's Lutheran church and

constant and everready helper.
All the children were present at the
funeral and the four sons, Chris, William, George and Charles, a son-in-
law, Chris Krell, and a grandson,
Howard Weburg, were the pallbearers. The flowers were many and.
beautiful arid evidented the high respect in which she was held by her
many friends.
