PAGE SIX ALTON EVENING TELEGRAPH SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8. 1928 New Packard 8 Features Novel Shock Absorber Wood River News The new Packard car made its official bow to the public today. Early in July the Packard Motor Car frankly stated It was going to bring out new model in the late summer. There had been much speculation tince this advance announcement about It. Today It appeared as an entirely new car with a powerful eight- In-line motor and with 10 new body tnoaeu.

Probably the most Important feature of the latest Packard, from the standpoint of the car owner, is a coordinated series of Improvements for absorbing all road shocks. Packard calls It the "Packard Shock Absorber System." The company makes the unqualified statement that it has stopped wheel "shimmy," wheel "tramp" and steering wheel "whip" a new discovery which Is an Im jiortant element In the shock absorber system. Like ail the other of the system It Is a built-in part of the cor, The new car Is called the Packard Standard Eight. It Is built in two wheelbases, 126 and 133 inches. The motor has been made slightly shorter than the former Packard Eight engine and with A bore of 3-13 Inches Mid stroke of five inches has great power, Packard's policy against de- iveclatlng cars In the hands of own- nrs by radical changes In appearance has been maintained rigidly.

The car has all the excduslveness of appearance tor which Packard cars have been noted In the past. Addition of the Standard Bight with Its different models gives Packard 62 different body typen, Including 34 individual custom bodies by some of the best known custom body builders of the country. Priced now range from $2435 to nearly $10,000, Plan Filling Vacant Presbyterian Pulpit At a joint meeting of the boards of elden and trustees of the First Presbyterian church held last evening ateps were taken to provide for the supply of the church with ministers during the period the church Is without a pastor.

M. Hudson of Blackburn College, also, will be called on to fill the pulpit.
