Kiplinger Reviews 30 Years,
Sees Belter World Ahead
WASHINGTON - W. M. Kiplinger
narked 30 years of reporting world
events and predicting trends for a
Tiighly-restricted list of subscribers with
to forecast that “the world will be better”
in the next three decades,
i In a special 30th anniversary issue
of his Kiplinger Washington Letter,
.written “partly for fun, partly for
thoughtfulness,” he said, too, “we can-
Wt stop the improvement, but we can
hold it back or speed it up.” ,
The Ohio-born, former newspaper
reporter, who originated the method
of dispensing business, economic and
governmental news, condensed into a
weekly, four-page, privately-circulated
fetter, reviewed events since 1923, and
then, with a “loek to the future,” said:
» “Out of onr experience as observers
•comes a conviction, which is this: the
world will be better. Improvement is
the basic law of life.
’* “We cannot stop the improvement,
but we can hold it back or speed it up.
t(speed it up requires more than noble
and pio«» good intentions. It

In his review of the past 30 years
Kiplinger says the present “ia merely
a piece of the past and the future,” and
continues:
“Now look back and ponder on the
material advances of the past How the
average man is better off . , , than 30
years ago or less. Wages and other
forms of pay have more thaw tripled
in 30 years. Living cost prices have feae-

...IN POWER AND
PERFORMANCE
Chevrolet’s entirely new
115-h.p. “Blue-Flame”
engine (teamed with
Powerglide*) is the
most powerful in the
low-price field! In gear
shift models, you get
the advanced 108-h.p.
“Thrift-King” engine.
Both give brilliant new
performance and greater
economy.
...IN STYLE
AND LUXURY
The sleek, low-slung
beauty of this fine new
car provides one more
reason for Chevrolet’s
truly amazing popular
ity. The new Fisher Body
provides roomy luxuri
ous interiors, modern ap
pointments and colorful,
fine-fabric upholstery
that can be matched only
in costlier cars.
...IN EASE OF
DRIVING
Entirely new Power-
glide automatic trans
mission, with faster
getaway and greater
economy, eliminates the
clutch pedal completely.
And Chevrolet’s new
Power Steering* does
80% of the work . . .
lets you squeeze in or
out of tight spaces with
wonderful new ease.
...IN ECONOMY
AND VALUE
Chevrolet now brings
you the most impor~
tant gain in gasoline
economy in its history!
And, you save substan
tial amounts on over
all upkeep, too. Yet
with all its wohderful
new things, Chevrolet
remains the lowest
priced line in the low-
price field!
