Right! Head-on View
rooms throughout the country
While remaining in the price class
In which it won world leadership this
rear the new 1932 models offer fea-
urea heretofore considered exclusive
to the high price field as well as a new
front end mounting never before
shown on any car
Called "The Orest Amerioan Value

this slogan a twenty per cent increase
In power faster acceleration top
speeds of AS to 7ft miles an hour new
Fisher bodies with a modern stream-
line styling down-draft carburetion
counter-balanced crankshaft finger-
touch front scat adjustment snd
many other refinements over the 193 1

publio acceptance were the most suc-
cessful In the history of the company
Twenty standard and de luxe
models are in the new line of which
the Kpeciul Sedan pictured above is
the aristocrat The lower view shows
the new front end and the massive
fowcrful appearing hood enclosing
he improved engine
In audition to interest centering on
the curs themselves the announce-
ment at this time has national sig-
nificance In that activity brought on
by production of the new cars is
expocted at conservative estimates
to add materially to the earnings
of 290000 people throughout the
country just before the holiday season
and hufore the severe winter season
sets In
The company’s 21 domestlo plants
all are busy producing oars as fast as
precision manufacturing limits will
permit so that deliveries may be mads
with the least possible delay More
than 20000 of the new cars already
hare been feufl I for dealers' showroom
' ojsjrayiaod uaors than that quantity
are expected to roll ofT the assembly
lines during the prevent month
The new car Is the first in the low-
price field to ofTer the combination
of silent Syncro-Mesh transmission
with selective free wheeling as stand-
ard equipment at no extra cost A
control button on the instrument
anal enables the driver to use the
ree wheeling device only when he
desires and ns is thus able to utilixs
er of the engine
the full braking po
when desired
The front end otters a radically
ohanged appearance with a new type
radiator a radiator gnus built iuWgntl
on all models a double lie-bar arch-
ing gracefully between the fenders on
whKa vaes - mounted bullet-shaped
headlamps and a trumpet-type horn
Just beneath the left headlamp All
medals have adjustable hood Peris
chrome plated on all the sport and
de luxe models and all have cowl
ventilators controlled from the dri-
ver’s seat
With the new streamlined bodies
the external sun visor has been elimi-
nated and its purpose is now served by
an internal visor adjustable to any
fiosition in front of the driver The
eft front window also has an equaliser
built in so that the driver may adjust
the window with little effort On the
top rail of the instrument panel Is a
fuiovatlo ash tray for the con-
vanience of front seat passengers

THE
“Gift”
Problem
This is the time of year when one be-
gins to wonder “What shall I gave?"
May we make some suggestions GIVE
TIME COMFORT CONVENIENCE
Nothing could be more personal and at
the same time more acceptable
Electrical appliances are the answers
They are time savers — energy savers
They make the work of the house easier
No home should be without theta
Their cost of operation is negligible— a
few cents a day — and they more than pay
for themselves in time saved energy sav-
ed During December your electrical ap-
pliance dealer will feature percolators
toasters and waffle irons at attractive
prices Let him solve your “Gift” problem
