Chevrolet Company Strives For Better Parts And Service The pai’ts a::d service divis’on of Chevrc’et Motor Corr|pany, for the purpose of bringing the consumer clcser to the point of distribution, has been since the first of the year quietly carrying on a building pro gram amounting to hundreds of thou sands of dollars. Th"s has added to the ccmpany’s numerous plants five zone warehouses, now in use, and calls fo: 1 constructio.i of three more before January 1. In addition, major supply depots in Atlanta and Kansas City have beta built and put into op eration this year. Los Angeler, Houston, Omaha, Philadelphia ar..d Cleveland are the centers which have seen warehouses already built and opened for use. Work is to beg’n this fall on others in New Orleans, Fargo and Indianap olis. The New Orleans warehouse is scheduled to open in November, the Fargo in December and the In dianapolis warehouse in January. J. P. Little, manager of the parts and service division, in a statement issued last week, pointed out that the 1928 building program when complet ed will increase the storage facilities o c his division by 30 per cent. It will mean, he said, an addition of 210 000 addit’onal feet of floor space. “Chevrolet parts warehouses and major supply depots constitute an ! added service that the edmpany of- j fc:'s in order that every authorized service station and repair depot will have genuine Chevrolet parts avail able promptly for Chevrolet owners,” Mr. Little said. The warehouses and depots carry several hundreds of thousands of dol lars worth of stock, and represent, thciefcre, a very important factor in the comnnercial life of the communi ties in which they are located, Mr. Little said. Aside from the build'ng activity, the divisional program for 1928, as outlined by Mr. Little, is also con- | cerned with Boston and Denver, cities where new existent warehouses ! will be vacated this fall for new ; quarters because present facilit es I have proven inadequate. Thus before I the year closes the parts and service division will have new warehouses in each of ten. cities. In every instance between 5,000- and £000 square feet of space has been set aside in these warehouses for use of thej zone sales schools. The warehouses also house the offices of the zoies sales managers and their ‘ staffs. All of the new buildings have been built according to plans and specifications of Chevrolet Motor Company. With this year’s additions the to tal number of Chevrolet zone ware houses will be increased to 20. Other cities ip which they are located are Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Charlotte. N. C.; Jacksonville, Fb| ; Des Moines, la.; Minneapolis, Minn.; Memphis. Tenn.; Dallas, Texas; Oklahoma City; Denver, Portland, Ore. tX* Centipede Grass Gets Ahead Centipede grass, so called because of its long creeping stolons, which was first imported from China about ten years age', has proved to be an rxcellent pasture g.'ass for the South ern States* especially oi the drier and poorer soils. This grass is prop agated vegotatively in much the same way as Bermuda grass. In its early growth the grass is protected from destruction by grazing animals brough the closeaess with which the runners and leaf blades adhere to the 30 1. This enables it to become estab- >T.hed ; n pastures even while the land !r. being grazed. After it becomes thick on the ground, the leaf blades ^row sf.ncwhat vertically to a height f 3 or 4 inches, and in this state it makes excellent pasture and remai. s jroen whc.i other grasses dry up. Centipede glass is not adapted to northern conditions. xxt Ye Farme Gossipe Ycu seldom see poor land where cow s are abundant. Money for home equipment can be found in any well regulated poultry yard. There is more h<oc for the good farmer o.\ pot: land than for the poor farmer on good land. Big div dends will result from a. ! I’ttle labor now in selecting good seed , this cr > to plant next year, | Ctill a:: . Vr good form of “farm relief” nr be had in the fuller use of pv.lPcntic ■ an 1 rthc- mV—nntion from the ,;gi-cultural coHege.
