DURANTS GREAT FIRST GEAR POWER Designed especially for modern driving conditions, the Durant fourspeed transmission combines the advantages of quick starting and acceleration, high road speed at low motor speed in fourth gear, and tremendous power in first gear. This liJ the statement made by C. J. Ridd, local Durant dealer, who, in conjunction with more than 750 Durant dealers throughout the West, is holding "Durant Four-Jlorward speed Revelation Week." "The Durant four-speed transmission r-etains all the advantages of the three-speed systems," he states. "The. addition of a fourth gear, which permits the use of higher gearing in the rea:t' axle, allows a greater range of speed ~nd power. "Ordinary driving requires only three gears, the driver shifting just as be ,p.lways has done. Starting in second, the driver of the Durant SixSixty-Six shifts naturally into tbitd, a gear slightly lower than the usual third,. The ftnal shift. into fourth gear, duplicates the old shift into high. In fourth speed the Durant gear ratio is so much higher than 3rd gear in the average tr.,nsmission that motor speed is reduced considerably. "Low gear in the Durant Six Sixty Six is usel only when conditions require the maximum of power for the heavy pulling. In sand or mud, or over cliff-like grades, first speed just comes naturally into use. Comparing the Durant four-speed transmission wit . the three speed type, "burant executives assert Lhat the trend in automotive manufacture today is decidedly to the former. The • standard gear ratios, they comment, were made for an earlier day, as w~re the two-wheel br!htes. Now, with 60,000 miles of paved roads covering the nation, a higher fourth speed not only is an asset, but it is in great demand because of the ;aotoring economy, comfort, speed, and other great advantares it Slves, they point out.

ZIMMER'S SELL BAKERY AND CAFE On October 15th, Leo Lewis, of Salt Lake City, will take possession of the local bakery, known now as Zimmer's Bakery and Cafe. Mr. Lewis and wife rxpect to move to Midvale at once. He is a baker of state wide fame, having furnished the pastries for Coon Cht~ken Inn for some time past. Mr. Lewis is recognized as one of the best baker's in Salt Lake City and is amply qualified to give Midvale patrons the same high class service and quality that made Zimmer's prod ucts famous almost over night. Mr. and Mrs. Carl Zimmer desire to thank the people of South Salt Lake county for the ge!lerous patronage given therri and leave Midvale with a pang of regret in their hearts, to say the least. They have worked hard and long to built up the business and feel that they have been amply ·repaid by the confidence of the buying public. They will leave about November 1st to spend some time iii British Columbia before looking for another location. A LETTER TO THE JOURNAL Midvale is destined to become a city of 25,000 people. Located as it is in the very heart of the great Salt Lake valley it is surrounded by 90 per cent of the richest mines in the State. The Utah Copper Mines, 30 minutes drive by car is producing 75,000 tons of copper. ore- daily, ><lmost double the daily output during the World War. Many other mines in the Bingham Canyon district are on capacity production. To the east of us lie the rich mines of the Park City distri<'t and to the south the great mines of the Tintic. The mountains abound with flocks of sheep and herds of cat tie; the valley is checkered with beautiful fields of alfalfa, sugar beets and waving grain. All these go to insure prosperity. Midvale Is the industrial City of this valley and every indication points to a remarkable gro\"''th since the proper management has taken over ~he local steel plant. The steel industry has built great cities in the east and on the Pacific Coast. It will do the same for Midvale. It is estimated that there will be a pay roll of 300 men at the steel "!ant in Midvale withi?l one year. This will bring a great many people to Midvale. Where are they going to live? A Chamber of Commerce should be organized to provide ways and means of g(;tting these new-comers to make their homes in Midvale and thereby benefit our City. The young live business men of Midvale have a chance to make a showing. It is up to them to put this town on the map. Contributed. July Sales Increase 24.(}S· Per Cent The J. C.

"That the comparative increase for old stores for the month of July was so satisfactory bears out our above statement."
