There is not popular priced car in America to-
day which has any right to rank itself with the best
cars.
There is no car in America at $3.50. save the
Speedwell, which will make the man who has
driven $3, 800 or 81 800 car admit that he has
found at last the fine qualities which he secured by
paving the higher price.
To compare the ordinary car of moderate price
with the best cars built is nonsense pure and
simple.
Speedwell owners are being recruited every day
from the ranks of those who have heretofore
driven the cOstliest
The man who is skilled in motor lOre-vhO has
driven the best cars which have heretofore been,
of course, the cars of highest prce-recOgnizes
the difference the moment he steps from one car
into the other.
The man who operates the good car of moderate
price is unconscious of the difference until he
reaches, by process of evolution, the stage where
he is able to buy car of the finest calibre
1t is difference in refinement and lack of fric-
tion which evidences itself at once In the riding
quality.
The Speedwell appeals to the man who reeOg-
nizes this difference.
1t meets him on his own ground and ON his own
terms-skeptcal and unconvinced-and offers to
demonstrate that the necessity of higher price
than 81 $50 is the necessity of day which has
passed.
1t invites him, with his skilled knowledge of
what the finest should do and should be, to step
into the Speedwell and put it to the test.
AS first step it will compel his admission that
the riding qualities of the Speedwel have never
been surpassed by any of higher price which he
may have owned.
It will convince him ON this score under the
severest conditions which he may suggest. .,t-
That sense of freedom from worry, of obedience,
of abundant power for which he has gladly paid
much higher price-the Speedwell will give him in
the same generous measure he has always enjoyed.
And if he is inclined to say to himself: Il am
afraid this surface excellence which will dis
appear with long and hard driving, he has only
to study the specifications and the chassis to set
his mind at rest.
He will find that 81 800 gave him nothing which
So, $50 in the Speedwell does not give him.
He will find we have not erred or exaggerated
when have said that the Speedwell represents
the beginning of the end of prices higher than
50 $50
Our first appeal, therefore, is to experienced mo-
torists who will scrutinize the Speedwell seeking
that which has not been attainable hitherto at
s., ,650
We want you to make critical investigation of
this The result will surprise you. We know
absolutely that there no car ON the market any
where its equal selling within 81, 900 of our
price.
Prove this by a thorough investigation, then a
demonstration. Make 1T as severe as you like Bring
along expert mechanic to pass its merits.
We will be satisfied if you will only do this, for
we know that there is no car made that can touch
it in quality and price. Seven models to choose
