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.

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.
