Left Hand Steering Wheel and Most Elegant
Of Materials Mark Construction

of the Peerless, in speaking of the
town car, said:
This type of machine will only be
manufactured with two STYLES of body,
namely, the limousine and landaulet.
No other or smaller bodies will be
be placed on this chassis. They are
particularly adapted to city or sub
urban use. The method of operation Is
the same as on the standard Peerless
cars. with the exception of the lefthand
steering wheel. There are four speeds,
the change speed levers being between
the two front seats. The throttle and
spark levers are located on the steering
wheel.
while simplicity is the dominating
feature of the new car, the equipment
and other ref1nements, such as the sys-
tenn of electric lights in the tonneau.
makes the Peerless town car easily
recognized as one of the most represen-
tative of the high priced American
made motor cars.

Detroit Electrics Are Equipped
With the Design Origin
ated by Wizard

c. S. Richardson of the Reliance auto
company, which handles the Detroit
electric, is more than enthusiastic
over the Edison batteries. which are
used in his electric line. claiming for
them that they are superior TO all other
kinds In speaking of the Detroit elec-
tric he said:
''rhe Detroit electric is the only cleo
tric built today that can be equipped
with the Edison battery. Next season
every electric on the market will be
made to receive the large size Edison
This is the car that made the first
and only successful ascent of the fa-
nous Fillmore hill in San Francisco,
where the grade averages 81 per cent.
and where the trolley cars are hauled
UP by cable.

control thaeany one can drive ii. There
is nothing to get out Of order. A
meter indicates at any moment the

amount left, so there is no reason to
become stalled without power. If it is
desired to use the truck more than 40

Just increasing the mileage from so

rarely necessary. as with the ordinary
