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.

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.
Mr. and Mrs. Holland Sligh re
turned to their home on Hunt St.
last week after spending a couple
of weeks in Salina, Kansas, with
their son-in-law and daughter, Mr.
and Mrs. Ralph Long and their
little daughter, Terry.

The 1959 line of Dodge trucks
offers a completely new series of
pick-up trucks especially designed
for farm and ranch owners.
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.

This 1959 Ford Country Sedan is one of six models in the
Ford station wagon series. 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.
