WITH FIVE FULL-GR0WN PAS
SENGERS, HAS PASSED ON
LEVEL AND HILL, TIME AND
TIME AGAIN.
IL can be summed up correctly
only as the GREAT, BIG, ECO
N0MICAL CAR WHICH SELLS
FOR ONLY $1275.
This S1275 includes only fair
commission to the agent. It also in
cludes only a fair profit to us as
the maker.
The balance represents whai II
costs us to produce one of the mos
efficient cars ever placed on the
market.
Last year it sold for $1,000. This
year we have added SIS to the price.
But see what else we've added
The wheelbase of the Roadster
was only 100 inches-but THIS 1911
MODEL has the easy-riding wheel
base of 112 INCHES.
Last year the cylinders were
33-4x1. This year the bore has been
llCIcdSCu W ut.s Ni1iC ttS oiOhS
has gone up TO 4 l-2.
You know that this means more
pOwer-a lot more power.
In fact, il has got power enough to
take six people up a hill, with a
grade of 10 per cent, on "high" at
% miles an hour. And you can slow
down to almost a standstill in the
middle of this same half-mile hill
and then, without changing gears,
pick up your speed again as sturdily
and quietly as any motor you ever
rode behind.
This motor is of the famous Re-
nault type, cast "En Bloc
EN- Bloc" means all in one piece.
Both the exhaust and intake mani
folds are formed right in the casting,
which does away with the usual nu-
merOus joints and thereby avoids the
many troubles caused by loose con-
nectiOns.
Valves are all on one side. No
manifOlds nor accessories whatsO-
ever in front of them. which means
that they are easily "getatahle"
Crank case, of aluminium, is what
they call the ''sOIid barrel" type,
instead of being split in the center
You can see how this "One-piece'
casting makes for stiffness ant
rigidity.
Frame construction of the "Stod
dard-20" is pressed steel. The gaug'
is half as large ~~air as that use
on some higher-priced cars now il
the market. And the channel sec
tiOn is wide and deep; wonderfully
rigid.
Evening journal., 1911-03-14

If the manufacturer sells out his
seasons output, all secondhand cars
of that make have a SUSTAINED
VALUE.
But, let a manufacturer throw
lot of unsOld NEW cars on the mar
ket, to be disposed of at "used-car"
prices, then, if your car is of that
make what is it worth as a second
hand proposition?
YOU have already marked of
certain amount for depreciation"
But here's where the maker, WHO
OUGHT TO PROTECT YOU, takes
it into his own hands to boost CD
your depreciation" figure out of
sight.
Under such gambling conditions,
the REAL VALUE of your second
hand car cuts no figure at all.
A big manufacturer was recently
overheard to say that he could cut
his 1911 price another hundred dol
lars, and not feel it.
An automobile makers profit is
coming out of SOMEWHERE
not out of the price, THEN OUT OF
THE QUALITY.
If you own one of his cars. where
would you rather have him get his
profit?
A manufacturer is entitled to a
fair prOft-CLEAN!
YOU want it in your business.
You know it's a QUALITY-SAFE-
GUARD to the buyers of your goods.
But in the automobile industry,
because some makers guarantee their
product against defects, everything
that happens is charged up against
this guarantee. (Unless the agent
chances to see the telegraph poll
that was hit).
For this reason it's only fair that
the agent should have his full COM
mission TO take care of your "de-
fects," and which, because he knows
the Company couldn't rightfully he
asked to stand, he charges up to hi
pride" account.
This STANDARDIZATION policy
of PRICE-MAINTENANCE has ex-
listed ever since they were first made
six years ago.
And, it is this being sure of Oul
profit, and our agents sure of Their
rightful commission that are the re-
sons why you Gf you are a StOd
dard-DaytOn Owner) have always
been sure of your quality. And al
ways sure of a Sustained value
that meant several hundred dollar:
more when it came to disposing Of
your old car.

Spring suspension is the same as
used on cars that cost up TO 5000,
semi-elIiptic front ana 81 elliptic
rear; unusually long, and mounted
on heavy, strong fittings. Just suf-
ficient resiliency to take up jOlts and
jars, but not so springy as to keep
you going up and down, baby-ca
riage like.
There is happy medium in spring
dcsigning-yOu will find it on this
''StOddard-2O."
Transmission is the same selective
sliding gear type that we use on our
$1,000 cars.
For the front axle we might have
put in a hand-fOrged. rectangular
section, or one of tubular pattern,

Do YOU wonder that I'm weeping,
AS 1 smooth this little curl;
Would you think one day It rested
On my brow was a girl.
Those were days when | was happy
Every hour was filled with JOY;
For twas then that Joe was with me,
And he was a noble boy.
Summer evenings we would wander
Down beside the dear old mill;
Hand in hand we'd walk together,
In the cleaning calm and still.
l can feel the tender pressure

Asked me to become his wife.

| As l gaze upon this ringlet,
Twined around my finger now,
I compare It with the white locks
Now upon my wrinkled brow.
And / wonder will Joe know me
AS the little girl he loved,
When We meet beyond the surges,
In those mansions up above?
But happy thought comes DER me,
/ will know my own Joe there,
For he went among the angels,
Ere the snowdrifts touched his hair
I shall be so happy with him.,
We will never part again.
Then I'll be his little darling,
Far beyond the reach Of pain.
Then he said our little home-nest
Would be just so full OF love,
That while here on earth we fingered
'Twould be like to heaven above.
And ! promised | would wed him,
Be his faithful little girl;
Yes he kissed this little ringlet
In his bosom laid the curl.
Then he went away far from me.
And my heart was filled with fear,
And ] prayed--oh days pass swiftly,
For / want my loved one near.
But one day there came message
Joe had given up his life;
Far beyond the sea was sleeping,
l l could never be his wife.
