Robert Flaherty, that master of photography, again has travelled to one of the stranger portions of this earth and returned with scenes of nature--clouds, rocks, and sea--which are rivalled only by Eisenstch.

The Masters have "knee-action" front wheels, new all-steel "turret" tops by Fisher Bodies, are longer, roomier, more streamlined. The Standards have conventional springs, conventional steel bodies. But while the Masters are priced at last year's levels, the Standards have been cut $10 on almost all models, putting them as much as $25 below Ford's standard line. In the past year Chevrolet sold about 100,000 of the lower-priced Standards, will push them strongly in 1935 as a good transportation...
