A light, snappy car famed

The only touring car to finish with
out tire trouble of any sort, showing it to
be ECONOMICAL ON TIRE
WEAR.
The only car to finish without road
penalties, due to tardiness or adjustments,
showing it to be RELIABLE CAR.
The only touring car on the run in
which no member of the party, driver,
observer or mechanic, was called upon for
any work of any sort, showing it to be
the ideal car FOR A PLEASURE
TRIP over any kind of road.
If you want evidence of the economy,
durability, roadability and general sturdi-
ness of a car, what more could be offered?
This car, entered and DRIVEN BY
