THE STORY OF FLANDERS go" is more simply told
There no change this sterling model-no the slight
est either in mechanical detail or in appearance We
could see chance for improvements.
SHE HAS COME INTO HER OWN-never more signal
victory than this car achieved Never did auto
mobile enjoy greater over-demand than Flanders go
does now and with output of 100 day at that
YOU WILL REMEMBER that like all new models
Flanders 80" did up to Designer Haeslets
hopes the first season-19O9O. There several minor
defects
WE SAID so FRANKLY in ad. announcing the i'm
proved 1911 three speed model Competitors criticised
us severeIy-said bad business to tell all we
the public" Well, perhaps-ony it didn't work
that way-much to their chagrin
WE USE STRONG STATEMENTS in our ads.-we have
goods ordinary cannot do justice to them
SO do others deal in superlatves-when they pro
claiming hoped-for virtues Past they Singh
lary silent about, however.
WE HAD TO ADMIT that the two-speed idea wrong
for a touring It's only advantage cheaDness of
manufacture and while we had the customers interest
at heart when designed the twospeed Flanders 20
we found we were mistaken that the customer-ex
peren ed buyers, anyway-woud gladly pay trfe more
have the added efficiency and superior control OF
three-speed selectve sliding gear transmission.
WHILE WE WE'RE ABOUT IT designed the handsom-
est foredoor touring body that was mod
crate priced
AND WHAT A RECORD she has made is simply SPLEEN
did Discredited by past, dealers and individual
buyers alike were supercritica Competitors knocked
for and tried convince buyers that the threespeed
model really great improvement over the former
two-speed We sometimes think this very knocking
our greatest advertisement for, of course the public
knew that the man this bore would stand
back of the product had been his pride from the first
so THEY DETERMINED TO TRY the out. And
they certainly did figure gruelng tests-speed
hill climbing plugging, sand fghtingeyery magin
stunt that could q prove her ab
ity And Flanders go" always came up smiling. The
establishment of her opponents something to see
From time she has forged steadily ahead sweeping
path every woud-be rival till today she is
knowledged leader Dealers tell there would be no
other light touring sold if they could get enough
three-speed Flanders pos" to fill the demand
IN LARGE CITIES buyers well informed they
simply won't accept substutes-they will order months
ahead and Flanders go" rather than take
assembled linear" substitute. But in smaller
where there fewer and folks don't have
good a chance to compare performance and durability
dealers still able persuade buyers the limitations
just good That is where the tin thrive,
WE HAD IN MIND designing this car the great
OF well-todo business who want family touring
high efficiency, seating five and capable of taking them
anywhere-people who of sterling quality
and yet feel they afford a large EMF
go"
NOW WE COULD HAVE DONE did with EMF
go FIVE years ago-designed with eye single
chanical excellence without regard appearance
But that day passed The opinions other makers
to the contrary Notwithstanding, believe the farmer
