E. A. Scoville of South Britain has taken the agency for the reliable Stan ley steam auto cars. The Boston City government has equipped the police and fire department with them. Why should they do it? The U. s. govern ment is adopting the cars for use of the government in the Phillipine Is- lands. You never see Stanley cars advertised for sale. Why? Because people are satisfied with them. Just a word as to the Model F, Stanley, price, Sl5OO. There is no changing of gears-speed from creeping pace to a mile minute or more is to be had by simply opening and closing the throt- tie, sub-imposed on the steering wheel. When at temporary standstill, there is no odor, no vibration, no racing en- zine; nor IS there any cranking for new Istart. The extreme fexibility, and the power to get back to high speed quickly under any conditions without shifting gears, remove the temptation to take chances on danger ous corners or in congested traffic. This 20 horsepower steam motor will easily deliver in an emergency to the rms of the driving wheels more power than any 50 horsepower motor gaso- lene, and as evidence we offer our Omond record of 45 and three ffths sec onds for mile--the fastest mile ever made by any stock touring car in the world. The total weight of the car is about 1850 pounds empty. This light weight and the uniform drive and lack of gear changes reduce the tire cost and tire trouble to a minimum further more, they reduce the fuel cost and the repair cost to the lowest possible point. Here is five passenger Touring Car at $500, so efficient in every way that you would have to pay two or three times its price for a gasolene car to equal it; and so simple to operate and care for that three-quarters of all we have made are in the.hands of their owners, without help of hired chauf- feurs. Mir Scoville would be glad to correspond or call on interested parties. He will also take out touring parties. Tel. 66-21. Local.
