Makers of Vehicles Show Great
Consideration for Detail
and Finish
By R. R. L'HoMMEDIEU

The new 1910 Speedwell cars have
arrived and that means something
when one has seen the cars. In appear
ance and construction they bear COM
parison with any car in the market.
1t is hard to find anything that could
be changed that would make them bet
ter cars Then when the price is taken
into consideration one has to stop and
wonder how they can build such a car
for the money. The new Speedwell car
should be examined by every purchaser
irrespective of what he cares to pay for
an auto before he buys. The many fine
points are best expressed in the words
of L. V. Lynch. who is handling the
cars on the coast Lynch says:
I'm the 1910 Speedwell we do not
present a new car. There are no radt-
cal departures from the standardized
designs of previous years models.
Slight changes and refnements have
been incorporated that will keep the
Speedwell in its enviable position in
the very front rank of American auto
mobiles.
The Speedwell has followed but one
policy since its inception. This policy
is the production of but one grade or
car-the highest possible type. We
have never entered the small car class,
one large chassis. With slight rear
rangement of parts this chassis of 121 Il
inch wheel base is used with the
various styles of bodies-touring cars,
toy tonneaus, close coupled bodies,
roadsters and limousines.
In one phrase, the Speedwell is all
anyone wants in a motor car. 1t is
large enough to meet the demands of
any one. 1t is luxurious in line and
finish. 1t has power enough to fill the
needs of any contingency and will
negotiate the severest hills or the most
prolonged and stubborn tours through
sand and mud with an ample margin
of power that is gratifying, and only
the most daring driver ever cares to
measure the speed possibilities of this
car. Open up the throttle and advance
the spark-the SpeedweH will aecel-
crate it's pace until one cannot ask to
go faster. On the other hand. the
Speedwell motor is so flexible and well
balanced that the car may be run on
the high gear at snaiFs pace "a fea-
ture that appeals TO all who do much
driving in city streets
There are a score of single features
in the Speedwell, any one of which
might serve as talking point, but it
is not the perfection of the parts, but
the uniform excellence OF the whole
that makes the Speedwell the remark
aDle car tndt IL Is Perfect working
and balance in every part and the abso-
lutely correct proportioning of each
unit to every other unit is the secret
of the Speedwelrs marvellous per-
formance.
I'VE believe that no car on the mar
ket today can lay equal claim to the
title-'the safest car made The brak-
ing surface on the SpeedweI is approx
imately one square inch to each seven
pounds of car, margin of safety here
that may never be required. but which
is reassuring when the uncertain con-
ditions encountered on our country
roads are considered.
Comfort and easy riding qualities
will commend the Speedwell as we'll
Not only is smooth running accom-
plished through wide. extra long and
fiat suspension springs. but il is con-
tributed to as well by the torsion tube
which absorbs all driving shocks and
strains.
The aim in Speedwell building is
that each ounce of material used shall
be of the highest quality obtainable.
Extensive tests are made of all parts
to guarantee that they may be so.''
