New bumper-to-bumper and road-to-roof styling, new pow«r plants with unprecedented traf fic agility which operate ten per ■cent more economically, and a new top-of-the-line series of lux ury models head the list of inno vations for the 1959 Plymouth. The cars will go on display in dealer showrooms October 16th. The 29 models offered include the new Sport Fury series, which for the first time in the low price field provide swivel front seats .as standard equipment. The swi vel seats are optional on four other models. In addition to the Sport Fury in the revised model line-up,Ply mouth also offers the Fury, the Belvedere, and the Savoy series. For the first time, Plymouth has two convertibles, one in each the Sport Fury and the Belvedere line. Offer Greater Values / The many changes ' in styling .and engineering and the addition of the new models result from Plymouth’s marketing philosophy, according to C. M. Smith, gen eral manager of Smith Motor Co. “We are convinced that the American economy is at a point where value is the most impor tant single factor in the pur chase of a new car,” he said. ^Everything we have done to our 1959 line of cars reflects this belief.” Among the “value” features are several which contribute to a total of some ten percent greater economy of operation. Although the improvements have reduced operating costs, they have at the same time increased performance. Plymouth’s proven TorsionAire ride, which professional test dri vers have termed “the most read able suspension system on any American passenger car,” re tains its non-sway, non-dip char acteristics and is standard equip ment on all models. New Swivel Seats The swivel front seats repre sent the first major change in car seating since Plymouth intro duced the rear-facing third seat on station wagons. The new fea ture, standard equipment on the Sport Fury two-door hardtop and convertible, allows the front seat passenger and the driver to pivot the seats toward the door when entering or leaving the car. Electronic Safety Aids The new Mirror-Matic rear view mirror, automatically “dims” w r hen lights of a following car come into view, removing the an noyance of the reflected glare in the driver’s eyes. A photo-elec tric cell on the mirror activates a device which automatically shifts the mirror when bright lights strike it. Another improve ment for night time driving is the automatic headlight dimmer.

College St. Phones 172 & 777 FARMS AND FOLKS By J. M. ELEAZER Clemaon Extension information Specialist Seeing Things Did your county have a farm tour the past summer? Marlboro did. And what a tour! At the 12 stops and 18 other ob servation points where they just rode slowly by new things in farming, they saw just about every angle of this changing ag riculture. From better methods with cotton to bulging fields of Coastal Bermuda, from Soybean varieties to milo for Summer grain, and from 4-row planters to farming with hogs and cattle, they saw it. County Agent Abrams told me the local farmers and agricultur al workers ganged up to make this big day click. The experts tell us we learn about 85 percent of what we know by seeing. That being the case, such see-and-learn tours are bound to be valuable for any farming county. Marketing Costs The past season was a bad on peaches, marketing, that is. We made a fine crop. But from there on it was rough. J. W. Gaston, Jr., of Spartan burg told me he preferred selling his peaches for $1.25 a bushel bulk to packing them out and shipping for $3.00. The labor and other expense of packing, the Plymouth a new appearance from front, side and rear. Front end styling makes the car look wider and lower. The new grille is a split lattice-work of extru ded aluminum bars extending the full width of the car. It is topped by a new hood, and new “double- barreled” front fenders to house the dual headlights. The front parking lights, at the ends of the grille, are curved to provide visibility for the parked car from either front or side. Beneath the grille is a hew, massive bumper and a functional, full-width air scoop. A total of 32 seperate interiors is offered, each closely keyed to exterior body paints. There are new seat and door panel designs, new upholstery fabrics- in an ex tended range of color combina tions, a new deluxe steering wheel, and a new instrument panel with all instruments and controls locat ed within easy sight and reach of the driver. I baskets, the freight, the commis sions, retailing costs and profits, all add up enough to make peaches bring a pretty stiff price on the other end even if the farm er gets nothing for them. It is hard fact; those others get theirs. They must have it to stay in business, or we’d have no out lets. The farmer alone stands as the cushion. Sometimes he gets his. But sometimes he doesn’t. What a pity, to have to grow any thing as good as a peach and then get nothing out of it. In fact maybe lose money, as some did the past season. Just fussing a little on some thing I can’t do anything about. Maybe someone can. < I Wonder Why In August I spent a few days on the canjpus of the University of Wisconsin at Madison. It was rather hot, as I’ve so often found it in the midwest. An aircondition- ed building in which we met had had the air-conditioning off most of the time. And that made al most unbearable. They said short age of water caused it. Around the campus there it was very dry and crops were sorry. That is a country of lakes, beautiful, clear, deep lakes of life-giving water. I wondered that they didn’t have enough of the us able sort in their city system, and that they did not tap the lakes and bring abundance to their fields with irrigation. Bulletin 77 . “Pork for Carolina Farmers” is the name of one of Clemson’s bul letins that some of you will soon be needing. Specially if you haven’t butchered a hog in a long time and intend to. It carries the whole story, from selecting the hog to the good things you can make from it. And curing the meat too. It isfree from your county or home agent.

Realizing that 63 percent of the approximately 3 million trucks on American farms have pick-up bodies, Dodge Truck engineers have given special attention to the desires and needs of agricul tural users in creating the new pick-up trucks—called the Swept line. Featuring the largest payload capacity and the biggest brakes in the industry, the smooth-sided Sweptline models are powered by a 120-horsepower 6-cylinder or a 205-horsepower V-8 engine. Avail able in half, three-quarter, and 1- ton models, they have body lengths from 6^ to 9 feet, capacities from 59.7 to 84 cubic feet, and payloads from 1,775 to 3,475 pounds. The new servo-type brakes on half ton models have a total lining area of 192 square inches. 11 Horsepower Ratings “Every hauling need on farms and ranches can be met by one of our new ‘M’ Series models,” said C. M. Smith, manager of Smith Motor Co. “We are offering 6 and 8-cylinder engines with 11 differ ent horsepower ratings ranging from 113 to 234. Our wide variety of transmissions, axle ratios, wheelbases, and stake and pick-up bodies permit a farmer or rancher to select an economical and re liable model designed for his speci fic requirements.” Another feature that appeals to farmers and ranchers is the con cealed running board on low and medium - tonnage conventional models. Dual headlights, first introd««- ed last year, again will be avail able to aid farmers and ranchers who drive late at night or early in the morning. They are standard on all models except cab-over-en gine, forward-control, and W300M. 13 Bright Colors Offered Thirteen eye-catching colors— four of them new—are designed to make Dodge trucks a favorite with modern farm family on trips into town, to church, to grange meet ings, and to market. The high road clearance of the 1959 models is of particular value to farmers and ranchers for field operations, off-highway driving, and for travel 6n secondary or rut ted roads. 28 Stake and Platform Models Of special interest to farmers 3ynd ranchers are 28 stake and platform models from the 100 series with 5,100 pounds maximum G.V.W. through the 500 series with 19,500 pounds maximum G. V. W. These are available in 7%, 9, 12 and 14-foot body lengths. Dodge is the only member of the low-priced three which has a fac tory-produced 14-foot body. The handsome Town Wagon, a low-cost station wagon - truck which seats up to 8 pasengers and which can carry 3 passengers with 90 cubic feet of farm cargo, again is offered with 120-horsepower 6- cylinder or 205-horsepower V-8 engine. Its exceptional road clear ance makes it ideal for farm and ranch use. Mr. and Mrs. Mickey Stephens are making their home at 1906 College St. in one of the FVank Sutton apartments.

Ford station wagons are available in two- and four-door models, accommodatihg six or nine pas sengers. The new, longer Ford station wagons have a cargo space that is eight inches longer and 11 cubic feet greater than in 1958. The second seat has a locking device that prevents the seat from folding forward in a sudden stop, and the foam rubber cushions from the third seat can be removed and used as ground cushions. The 1959 Ford car line, which already has received an award at the Brussel’s World’s Fair for styling elegance, will go on dis play at Shealy Motor Company in Newberry and Prosperity on Friday, October 17. “The 1959 Ford car is new in concept and new in style,” said Mr. Shealy. “The 1959 styling theme is good taste, a result of consumer demand for more ele gance and dignity in automotive styling as opposed to gaudiness or extremism,” he added. “Every piece of body sheet metal in the 1959 Ford has been changed to reflect the good taste of the Thunderbird—America’s most successfully styled car. The Thunderbird’s crisp, taut lines have given the Ford a formal quality and the impression of a bigger, heavier car without the addition of bulk,” Mr. Sheaiy added. Ford’s 1959 styling earned the plaudits of the noted fashion authority, the Comite Francais de 1’Elegance, which, for the first time in history, bestowed a gold medal for styling on an American automobile at the close of the Brussels international exposition. The 1959 Ford engines offer greater operating economy and improved engine performance in the normal driving ranges, 30 to 70 m.p.h. Ford recommends regu lar grade gasoline in all standard engines, which can result in a saving of up to one dollar a tank full. These benefits have been achieved in part by a slight horsepower reduction. Mr. Shealy said every 1959 Ford is “quality-designed,” a term Ford engineers use to define the emphasis placed on quality in the basic design of the car, starting from the designing board. The 1959 Ford includes 17 mo dels ranging from the Custom 300’s, which are six inches lon ger than in 1958, through the six station wagon models, to' the Fairlanes and the Fairlane 500’s. Station wagon length has been increased more than five inches; cargo area is eight inches longer and cargo space is 11 cubic feet more than in last year’s models. All 1959 Fords will be on a 118- inch wheelbase and will have an overall length of 208 inches. In addition to the new Fordo- matic and Ford’s proven three- speed synchromesh manual trans mission, Ford offers an improved version of the dual range Cruise- O-Matic, combining overdrive ec onomy with automatic transmis sion convenience. A new foot operated parking brake, affording move conven ience and knee room for -the dri ver, is released with an easy to operate tip—down handle. f ord’s Master -Guide power steering has been improved to re duce the power required to oper ate the pump by as much as 37- 1-2 percent, thereby reducing the drag on the engine. The 1959 Ford with the new Diamond Lustre finish, a super enamel that doesn’t require wax ing, is available ih a wide selec tion of solid and two-tone exter ior colors, color-keyed to match the interior upholstery. The safety concept of “packa ging the passenger*’ against in jury, which Ford introduced to the auto industry, includes! as standard features the extra rug ged five cross member frames with wide-(flared side rails, safe ty door locks and the Lifeguard steering wheel. Safety seat belts, padded instrument panel and pad ded sunvisors are available as op tional equipment. Laminated safe ty glass, which Ford pioneered, is used in the windshield and side windows. The roof is strongly supported at the foufc' corners and reinforced by channel sect ion cross braces.
