K AN INTERESTING LETTER "
if
The following article, clipped from
the Long Beach Press, February 16,
concern a well known western Ne
braska man who made the long trip
from Alliance to Long Beaoh, Calif.,
In a car that had already run 7,000
miles before starting the trip. The
original front tires were on the car
when the trip was made;
Daily the advantage of a transcon
tinental highway or boulevard grows
gers and disadvantages and is only
trip only one tire w.is dlecarded, that
the engine. Had a little end-thru!
in crankshaft and some In the cam
shaft. The only thing I put. in the
engine was a bearing on the shaft
that runs the magneto and It did
j not get oil. Had very IHIle carbon,
but the valves needed grinding pretty
bad Hut one thing that did cause
me a devil of lot of trouble to locate
was a weak exhaust valve and only
took rifteen centa to buy. It bother
ed from the time I started until I
got here and part of the time work. . I
all right. I found M. by putting a
screw driver In It and prying down
when the engine wae running.
1 think this is a good car and don't
believe It 1 beat under $2000. I
bought a four-paesenger thirty for
the folks a week ago and have been
teaching Asa to run it.
leu .inn i would have liked to
have been where I could have gotten
the car of him but wae too far away.
How are you getting along then
and how is the B.ilek? Don't think
1 will ever buy another car for my
self under $2500, or more.
Am going to start north up to Can
ada about the first. Have not seen
quite as much of this country a I
want to yet.
Respectfully,
