Ft* valve-in-heail design cuts gasoline consumption still lower because there is less loss of lu'at through the usdls of the lombustion chamber in valve-in-head engines, and the advanced construction of the Chevrolet engine gives maximum heat (or power) saving. Most important of all, Chevrolet's more efficient cooling system, pressure stream oiling and the greater accessibility of all working parts result in more dependable operation, over a longer period of time, with the lowest maintenance costs. Thus, Chevrolet’s valve-in-head engine —only one of its kind in Chevrolet’s price range—gives economy without equal. , MILLER BROS. CHEVROLET CO., inc. Phone 100 C. E. LUNDGREN, Mgr. O’Neill, Nebr.
