The wind-up OF the trip came on
August % Just three weeks after the
car left Detroit, when the Brush swung
into G street. Washington, after having
touched at Baltimore, and came 10 an
official stop Ia front Of HOE where the
garage Of the Rrush-Nichols Company.
Brush RunabOut Company, is located.
In discussing the result OF the run
Mr. Nichols. Of the local agency said:
Il regard the performance OF our little
car to be probably the most remarkable
on record. Here Is a car weighing but
$50 pounds, equipped with only G-horse-
power, single cylinder vertical engine in
front under the hood, making a run
Of l.190 miles without a single break
down or repair being necessary. The
actual running time was twelve days.
and at least IWO-thirds Of the course
was over roads bad under the most
dered worse by constant rains during
part OF the trip.
Forty-five Gallons Of Gasoline.
THE total consumption Of gasoIene
was a little over fOrty-five gallons, and
Of lubricet ding oil about two and one
half gallons.
-'One OF the marked points OF difference
between our cars and other machines IS
the spring. The body Of our car rests
Or spiral springs, and Mr.. Bussey in
forms me that though these springs
were subjected 10 the greatest jarTins
and strain, they did not break or weak
IN In the slightest degree The car rode
beautifully on them. Such an efficiency
performance is rendered dOubly credit
able from the fact that our car is sim
ply in the runabOut class, and that IL is
distiucuVely a lOW-prlced machine, the
price of the machine which made the
tests beln,. but $500 for the runabOut and
$3.50 for a wagon capable OF delivering
a load OF so pounds. Since the tests
were completed, the factory has in-
creased the horsepower from SIX 10
seven, which, with a car Ike ours,
means a material gain IN power"

STATIONS Of record with powered

during the month of August, and in
the details of the test, which was one
of the most thorough and comprehen-
siYe ever conducted, Washington people
are especially interested.
The test was made to demonstrate the
efficiency of the Brush Runabout, and
the success which attended the under
taking is remarkable, especially when
1t is known that the little machines
making the endurance runs were but

that Eve runabouts lined up in Detroit

managers Of the Brush RunabOut Com

demonstrating that their low-powered

at the same time be operated with the
