Makes New Record of
I Small Uukeep cost
Driving a Chevrolet car daily
in the rough, hilly districts of
Missouri for a total repair cost
of $23.85 for 20,000 miles of
driving over a period of six
years is the record attained
by Mrs. Olen Gentry, of Mill
Gove. Mo.
The sturdy endurance of the
Chevrolet never was attested)
better than through its popular-
ity among those who live in the
mountainous localities, accord-
ing to Mrs. Gentiy.
In August, 1920, Mrs. Gentry
purchased a Chevrolet touring
car and in December of 1926,
the owner figured that it was
about time to buy a new model.
"Although my old car is still
giving excellent service, I ex-
ect to turn it in soon on a new
1927 Chevrolet Coupe," Mrs.
Gentry, said.
The old car which she is now
driving was purcased Only
after an eariler model Chevrolet
had given her steady service
from 1916 to 1920. Rough,
x-ocky roads feature the main-
tain country and olny cars with
powerful motors, combined with
staunch construction, are able
to withstand the terrific grind
of daily use, the owner says.

when a tree on the bank of the
river caught the car, holding
it suspended above the water.
One of the larger limbs of the
tree protureded through the
windshield, acting as a suspen-
sion ^rane until pasengers could
open the closed doors and gain
firm footing on the bridge. Al-
thouh most of the passengers
were badly shaken up by the
impact, the driver was unin-
jured. A wrecking crew with
a large block and tackle was
able to retrive the car from its
precarious position.
