Announced Today
n Under Terms of Standard Warranty,
Chevrolet Owners May Call on
Authorized Dealers.
The Chevrolet Motor Company to
day announces a new and broader
service policy. Any Chevrolet owner,
experiencing defective workmanship
or material on a Chevrolet car under
the terms of Chevrolet’s standard
warranty, is invited to call upon any
authorized Chevrolet dealer in the
United States or Canada where the
work will be done at no cost to him.
The plan, known as the Owner’s
Service Policy, is now in effect in the
10,000 authorized Chevrolet service
stations in the United States, operat
ing under the general supervision of
the 52 Chevrolet branch offices.
The new policy takes the form of a
written agreement given the purchas
er by the Chevrolet dealer when the
new car is delivered. It puts down
in plain, understanding language the
greater service protection to which
every Chevrolet owner is now entitled.
Briefly, it offers the following pro
visions:
1. Every Chevrolet owner receives
hig car from the dealer in perfect con
dition—thoroughly lubricated, properly
adjusted and ready to operate effi
ciently from the first mile of owner
ship.
Every "Chevrolet owner is en
titled to free inspection and adjust
ment of his car at the end of the first
600 miles of use. This includes check
ing and adjusting the brakes, tappets,
timing, generator, carburetor, clutch,
and steering gear; tightening all body
bolts, tightening all motor bolts; test
ing and filling battery and checking
the oil level in the transmission and
rear axle. The dealer assumes no
responsibility for previous adjust
ments when they have been made in
service stations other than his own.
3. Every Chevrolet owner is en
titled to free inspection of his car
every thousand miles thereafter so
long as the car is in operation.
4. Every Chevrolet owner is en
titled to free replacement of any part,
which may prove defective, either in
workmanship or in material, within
the terms of Chevrolet’s standard
warranty, provided such parts and
labor arc not required because of ac
cident or mechanical abuse. This
includes both partg and labor. This
provision will be carried out by any
Chevrolet dealer in the United States.
Accordingly, the Chevrolet owner may
change his residence, or travel to any
part of the country with the full as
surance that the guarantee on mater
ials and workmanship will give him
complete protection.
In all Chevrolet dealer’s service
stations there are employed skilled
merhanics, thoroughly trained at
’ Chevrolet service schools. These sta
tions are equipped with specially de
signed tools and machinery developed
exclusively for Chevrolet service work.
The factory issues the assurance too
that each carries at all times a com
plete stock of genuine Chevrolet re
placement parts. And the rates
• charged are standard flat rates in
cluding both parts and labor and are
the lowest in the industry on many
service and repair operations.

THE QUALITIES
OF LEADERSHIP
By JOHN a LON8LADE
PreelQjent American Bankera
Association
Leadership and success, In a fem
oral way, are synonymous. They are
both founded upon simple codes of
thought and ac
tion, upon the
realization that
he who wins the
laurels must be a
doer, not a wait
er, that appll a-
lion of energy,
not time or luck,
is what counts
most. A rabbit's
foot is a poor
substitute
for horse sense.
Both success
end leadership, if
they be of the highest quality, are the
result of service to humanity. Service
has been aptly described as “the su
preme commitment of life.” Analyze
the lives and times of all great leaders
of history and you will find that those
whose names are enshrined in the
hearts of iheir countrymen are those
who sought to render a needed service
to the populace.
Leadership, like success, need not,
however, be international or national
to achieve great results. There Is
room for each of us to be a leader in
his community, in his work, in his
church, and in various organizations.
One of the Indispensable qualities of
leadership is the ability to persist
steadfastly in the face of discourage
ments. If George Washington had not
possessed the quality of persistence,
he and his soldiers would never have
survived the hunger and privations
which were theirs at Valley Forge.
We have too many young men and
young women these days saying a job
cannot be done. Too many spend
their time explaining why a thing
can’t be done, Instead of saying, with
firm resolve, that it can be done, and
then going out and doing It. Anything
that ought to be done Is capable of
being done. And anything worth do
ing at all is worth doing well. The
fellow who handles a little job In a
big way is always on the road to
greater fields.
BANKERS STUDY CHAIN
v CHAIN BANKING
Augusta, Ga., March 15.—Judge A.
L. Fanklin, in Richmond superior
court, yesterday observed that an
only child “is always” rotten and he
sentenced Roy Hicks, 18, five years
on the Richmond County ehaiiy gang
for automobile theft.
Hicks, a Kings Mountain, N. C.,
youth, had entered a plea of guilty
to six counts charging theft of auto
mobiles and his father, Clay Hicks,
Kings Mountain chief of police, had
plead for him ,88 “my only child.”
"When there is one child in a
family, he is always rotten”, Judge
JFranklin said and passed the sentence,
oae year each on five counts to run
consecutively and be classed as a
misdemeanor.
One of the six automobiles stolen
was that of Henry C. Hammond, at
torney for the youth, and on this
count he was not sentenced.
"Since you have been retained as
attorney,” Judge Franklin aaid, “I
guess H will be entirely satisfactory
to take that year off.”

SECTIONS WHERE
SAVINGS DECREASED
A regional analysis of the drop in
the nation's savings deposits in banks,
as recently reported by the American
Bankers Association’s Savings Bank
Division in its annual compilation for
1929 showing the first recession in
national savings in the twenty years
during which it has published this
data, reveals that all sections except
the New England and the Pacific
States groups recorded losses.
The published figures showed that
on June 29, 1929, the total savings de
posits in banks and trust companies of
continental United States stood at |28 t -
217,656,000, which was 6195,305,000 be
low the similar total for 1928, when
there was ah Increase of 62,300.000,000.
The regional analy*U% by state
groups discloses, however, tnat the six
Raw England states as a group gained
more than 688,800,000 in aavtngs and
152,984 in savings depositors, while
the seven Pacific states as a group
gained over 679.000,000 In deposits
and nearly 278,000 In number of depoe-
Itore. The gains In these two sec
tion*, however, were smaller than the
gain* recorded there for 1928. The
section* which showed losses are the*
Middle Atlantic States, Southern
States, ■eat Central States and the
