the Uoyul Metropolitan Museum of
Art.
Dr. IL K. Win lock, associate curator
of Egyptian art at the museum, reconstructs
the battle from reports of
the wounds found on the mummies by
the museum's Egyptian expedition.
From the small head wounds and
the downwurd course of arrows found
In the bodies, Doctor Wlnlook says
the men must have died storming a

having been caused by small missiles

Other wounds on the bodies, the
article says, shows that the soldiers
were dispatched with clubs by the
victors, after their comrades hnd 1-etreated.
Another attack, however,
must have been successful, as the
bodies were recovered for burial.

represents 4- years of Development
and over a Million miles of Testing
Atrn* ' "
.ivTvt *??o * new motor car come to
the public more thoroughly proved
in every detail than The Outstanding
Chevrolet of Chevrolet History.
?
Years ago, the Chevrolet Motor
Company designed and built its
first experimental six-cylinder
motor. This far-sighted step was
taken because Chevrolet engineers
knew that the six-cylinder motor is
inherently the most perfectly
balanced motor ? the ideal power
plant to meet the growing public
^ demand for greater reserve power,
faster getaway and, above all?
smooth, quiet performance.
During the last four years, over a
hundred six-cylinder motors?representing
every conceivable type?
were built by Chevrolet engineers
and tested on the General Motors
. Proving Ground. This constituted
one of the greatest series of tests ever
conducted with any automobile.
From time to time, the experimental
models were torn down for inspection,
redesigning and further testing
? until the present motor was developed
and pronounced correct.
While the new six-cylinder motor
was in process of development, other
Chevrolet engineers were perfecting
other parts of the chassis. And
another great automotive organization?the
Fisher Body Corporation
?was devoting its gigantic resources
to the creation of the finest,
sturdiest and most beautiful bodies
ever offered on a low-priced
automobile.
As a result, the Outstanding Chevrolet
offers an order of well-balanced
excellence that is extraordinary in
the low-price field. From every
standpoint?power, speed, smoothness,
acceleration and quietness ?
its performance is truly amazing. Its
handling ease and roadability are
exceptional. Its economy of operation
is so great that it delivers better
than 20 miles to the gallon of gaso*
line. And its outstanding beauty,
smartness and luxury are exciting
widespread admiration.
You owe it to yourself to 'see and
inspect this remarkable car. Come
