Oklahoma City, Okla.—Fire of unde-
termined origin almost totally destroy-
ed the plant of the Dead Shot Chem-
ical company here, with an estimated .
damage of $75,000. Between $60,600
and $70,000 worth of stock and fix- 1
tures were lost by the chemical com- i
pany and damage to the 2-story con-
crete block building was estimated at
$10,000. Practically all the loss is cov-
ered by insurance.
Firemen were unable to control the
fierce flames fed by the oils and fluids
of the storage room of the plant. It
had gained considerable headway
when discovered and was augmented
by an explosion of a small amount of
carbolic acid on the second floor. A
barrel of ammonia was saved from the
flames when firemen flooded the room
where it was stored.

Jot Economical Tronlporlmtion
In 1922 Chevrolet jumped from seventh to second
place in sales of all cars, and to first place in sales
of fully equipped modern cars.
Purchases by farmers were the chief factor in this
remarkable development.
Farmers want automobiles not only of low first
price, but also of low later cost for operation and
maintenance.
They want room, comfort, and the ability to stand
up under hard conditions.
They find that Chevrolet, fully equipped as sold, is
the best value per dollar in the low-priced field, and
neighbors tell them it costs less per mile to operate.
