Thus Oakland was the first among the.' larger builders of automobiles to join in the movement towards the general readjustment of values and prices on all things. And thus Oakland overnight established a new record for high value in automobiles that in spite of reductions made in the prices of other cars is still .CHEVROLET For Economical Transportation a record. Mich CHEVROLET Four .Ninety at makes it possible for you to enjoy the advantage of an automobile at the lowest possible motor cost. Chevrolet i is a quality, low 'price car and' is" today the worlds most wonderful motor car value. Four-Ninet- Todays Oakland has not been cheapened in order to establish the new price. Not a single part has been eliminated or less expensively made; no feature of equipment has been omitted; no part of the car has been made smaller. Instead it has been improved.and refined. So at the new price Oakland Six gives a greater value per dollar than at any time in its history if not a greater value per dollar than offered by any other car. i y" , CHEVROLET MOTOR CO. af Gamaral Matma CwymiJm) 157 Soatk State Street Phone Wasatch 3343.

No 9th the prices gasoline economy No 18 to 25 other car at Oaklands price has as deep a frame as 6H inches. , other car at Oakland's price has as much room in both front and rear compartments. No other car at Oaklands price has as wide seats both front and rear. No other car at any price has as low a center of gravity insuring the highest percentage of safety on the road. No other car of Oakland's wheel base is as light in weight 2421 pounds for the open models, 2733 pounds for the Sedan and 2550 for the Coupe-effecan economy of maintenance and operation not possible No ting ' ' to heavier cars. Prove these things for yourself. Call at our show room and examine Todays Oakland. Or without obligation on your part we will arrange for a demonstration if you will phone us. Place the car alongside any other you may be considering and by comparing sizes, weights, measures, equipment and all other essentials that decide the worth of a car, determine for yourself, as we know you can, that Todays Oakland Six is Todays highest value car. -- 1. i J6 f SHARMAN AUTOMOBILE CO.

Some manufacturer call the axle ax exnlatned above the while others call It a fullfloating; then, again, some call the live axle a while others call It the live axle. Perhaps this la because tha catalogues ate written by men In the advertising department who know that the public believes the tne best type, and - that axle sounds better than live axle. The live axle differs much from the In it the driving axle shafts the weight of the car and take care cany o. the side thrust, the wheela being directly fastened to the ends of the shafts. To remove the shafts the wheels must be dismounted, the entire assembly must be taken out of the car. the housing then pulled apart, and finally the differential must also be taken aoart. As some of the highest nriced cars hava the live axle. It is a matter of engineering opinion as to which type ia the best. The cost of repairs of the will usually 'be very much less than for the live axle, because it ia so easy to get at axle, Figure 1 shows a with the drlwing axle shaft partly removed You will observe that the wheels are entirely carried on the axle housing, and how, by having two bearings, one at each end of the hub. the of the wheel Is taken care of. You will also notice thet the driving shaft is not positively connected to elthei the differential or the wheel. The differential end of the shaft ia square anti Is simply dipped into a squsra hole In its gear, while the wheel end had foiged on to it what la known as a dog. This, you will note, haa a number of offsets, which fit into corresponding spates inth the wheel hub. Thus driving axle shaft limply drive the wheels, and might be said to In Its float housing. It ia kept In place by the wheel hub rap. le Here somethlnr worth knowing.

In reality, convert the into a carriage It cannot be done where the car had a live axle. It being necessary, in this base, ta put a truck under the wheels. Figure 2 gives that portion of the axle w"hlch differs from the You will observe that, while the ' weight of the car la taken on- - The housing, the side thrust of the wheel is not taken care of bv It. The differential end of the driving shaft ia the same as for the but the wheel end has forged to it a heavy flange, which flange la bolted to the wheel. Thus the shaft will take the of the wheels, but does not bear the weight of the car. The shafts can be removed without dismounting the wheel and without disturbing the differential, exactly aa With the Figure 2 shows the live axle. In this the wheel Is fastened directly to the delving shaft In such a way that the shaft nit only carries- the weight of the car, but also takes cars of the side- auto-mrbi- semi-floati- g, side-thru- st g. thrust The shaft is also positively fastened to its gear in thd differential. You will observe that in order to remove a shaft or to do work- on tha differential, it will be necessary not only to dismount the wheels, but the entire assembly will have to be removed from the car, the housing pulled apart, and, finally, the differential will have to b - taken apart. It Is Important that the oil or grease in the differential be kept at lust tha Is put in tt will right level. If too much run along (he shaft and so get into the brakes. Moat cars hav a Plug screwed or four into tha housing about thrs Inches from the lowest part, and grease or a heavy oil should be maintained at such a level that it will lust flow out of this plug hole. If oil or grease gets onto th brakes, even though the level is right, then the felt washers, lettered A. will probably be found to be badly worn and will need replacing. Because th driving shaft when being inserted, naturally takes tha poeltion shown In Figure 1, It A necessary to ir ess down on the wheel end of the sliafc when putting the shaft In.
