to prospective purchasers, it is i'm
portant that each car be considered
in its proper relation to the others.
The best parallel may be found in
rifles, by taking the "22" as similar
to our town car; the United States
Army $50" as representing our go;
and the 35-caliber big-game gun as
representing our Six"
The limited range, low-cost weapon
is the "22." No one thinks of buying
i" for hunting bear. If, however,
man wants to compromise between the
most powerful weapon on the one
hand, and the least expensive to pur-
chase and operate on the other hand,
he buys a go" 1t is not too ex-
tremely expensive if used as a target
rifle and yet is a weapon that Mr.
Roosevelt used in his African hunt
ing against even the very largest ami
mails To the man who has particu-
larly in mind the hunting of the larg-
est wild animals only, there is no
question about it that the 35 or even
larger calibers is the logical thing to
buy.
Our as" with it's &c horsepower,
A. L. A. NJ. rating, is exactly what it
was intended to be, namely town
car intended principally for limited
range of travel at a minimum of eX-
pense for operation and maintenance.
1t was not intended for cross-country
touring, although a great many own
ers have so used it successfully.
Our $50" is and always will be the
power that is the standard compro-
mise between the moderate power,
limited range, low operating cost,
town car on the one hand, and the
largest powers, higher cost, greater
range on the other hand. The go,
as Cuyler Lee aptly named it, is the
loaf of bread that can be eaten 800
days in the year" The go" has a
greater grange of usefulness among
high-class cars than any other single
vehicle.
For the man who has a demand for
power and ability beyond that of the
go" we have designed and produced
the Six" It's sphere of usefulness
is just as distinct from that of the
go" as is the sphere of the 35-caliber
rifle from that of the army weapon.
In designing this car, we had one
difficulty to secure the added power
required without losing any of the
smoothness and perfect control of the
$50" The evolution from our Model
81" of 1904 up to the X 51R had
presented difficulties with each ster
to make the larger size operate as
satisfactorily as the smaller one we
had formerly built. Compromises in
construction were necessary until we
had produced in our 5 X 51s a motor
operating as smoothly as any that
preceded it. The compromises, how.
ever, in obtaining the added power
in a four cylinder motor larger than
the $50" meant sacrifices greater than
the advantage gained We finally ac-
cepted the compromise of added cylin.
ders as the best form in which to
secure the activity desired without
giving up any of the smoothness of
operation or ease of control of the
go"
In presenting this line to the pub.
lie, the salesman is frequently going
to be asked-"Which car should |
buy?" The answer must be based
upon the requirements of the pur-
chaser and his financial ability to in
Gulge his fancy.
For strictly town purposes, the
rs" is unquestionably the car, though
in billy districts and where greater
activity in a town car is desired, with
the ability to change bodies and do
summer touring on the same chassis,
the $50" is very popular.
To the man who wants to secure
at the least expense in first cost, at
the least expense in operation and
maintenance, the greatest range of
capacity, ability and travel, the 800,
is unquestionably the car to recon-
mend.
To the man who wants the carry
ing capacity of the 49," but with
greater &C ivity, the six is the car.
The basis of comparison is between
the powers of the car rather than
between the mechanical construction
used in them. The difference between
the "30n and the nSiYn is q differnncn
