Highest Types of Perfection Reached
in Construction of Automobiles to
Be Shown at Madison Square

be exhibited and demonstrated.

the exhibition of licensed six-cylinder

six cars. 1t is the year when the six
cylinder principle is to be developed to a
state of refinement. AT the end of 1905
the public will probably know what type
of machine-the four-or the six-cylinder--
is to be the prevailing model.
Eleven six-cylinder cars are registered
for exhibition at the coming show. These
range in price from $500 to $500, rated ac-
cording to the A. l.. A. ID. standard from
43 to 81 horse power This new rating is
the first standard rating adopted and
will probably make a difference in the
relative horse power of machines now on
the market.
