What does IL years of motor
car building assure the buyer?

The automobile industry in
America had its birth seven
teen years ago.
And the first car built in this
country was an Apperson-
taking its name from its
bui d ers, the Apperson
Brothers.
During all the years which
have come and gone since
that first production issued
forth from their hands, APP
person Brothers have been
building motor cars.
Their work has been steady
8. progression throughout these
seventeen years.
Fifty distinct models they have
produced-thousands of cars
each model better than the
one before, as broadening ex-
perience pointed to new bet
termentS.
For seventeen years no car has
left the Apperson factory
without having received, at
every step of its construc-
ton, the watchful scrutiny
and the scrupulous supervl-
sion of the Apperson Broth
ers themselves.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1910-03-20

50 the man who buys the APP
person OF today knows that
he is getting the splendid re-
suits of the Apperson Broth 4
ers' fine experience
He knows that the Apperson
Brothers integrity and their
honorable record stand back
of the car-that these are his
guarantee that his Apperson
is the best which their I'M
paralleled pioneer knowledge
can produce.
An assurance of value such as
this is not an assurance to be
considered lightly
For it has come out of seven
teen years of motor car
building-which, as you will
say to yourself. is without
equal in the industry's his
tory here.
Your investigation of the APP
person can but lead you to
the conclusion that the APP
person Brothers manufac-
turing methods - personal
supervision and Inspection
are richly justified in the car
itself.
And your next step will be
your request for an Apper-
son demonstration.

COULDN'T ENDURE
SEPARATION

Rather than endure estrangement
from his wife and family, John
White, 70 years of age, committed
suicide about 2 o'clock yesterday
morning by taking strychnine, at a
rooming house conducted by him
self and wife at 0504 Toledo street.
White had been married AZ years
and had lived happily with his wife
for 80 years of that time. During
the past 10 years, however, differ
ences have arisen and White had
frequently been away from home
for days at a time.
For the past few days the dead
man had been staying at the old
peoples home in Hillyard. Yester-
day morning, while his wife and
family were asleep, White entered
the house, went to one of the rooms
and took the poison, his body being
found lying upon the bed by his
wife at o'clock, when she went to
the room on an errand.
White leaves, besides his widow,
three daughters and two sons.
