One of the big automobile makers
who has played a prominent part In the
racing game in the last few years mas
suggested a novel and convincing STOCK
car contest. He claims that such race
would prove to the world the absolute
Importance of this kind of event.
''One way of convincing the pubic OF
the true worth of stock car races wouio
be for the stock car contestants TO sup
ply the contest board of the American
Automobile Association with the names
and addresses of all their dealers over
the country" says the maker In ques-
ton. "Then let the contest board, all
unknown to the manufacturers, drop
in ON these dealers and select from
one. two, or three stock cars such as
are for sale to the public on the deal
ers' salesroom floors.
Then the contest board, without the
maker or dealer touching the machines.
ouId have the cars shipped to the race
course and entered in the stock car race
that would settle the worlds champion

gives the driver a free right hand to

Another feature Is the opportunity OF
the driver to get out Of the car on
either side. He does not have to step
in front of the passengers riding In the
front seat. When stopping the car at
the right-hand curb It is not necessary
to alight from the left side. This Is es-
pecially convenient in winter, when the
streets are filed with slush and snow.

Any automobile manufacturer can talk to
you in general way about the unheard of value
his car represents. But general statements do
not count for very much. They are meaning
less. They prove nothing.
While most of the advertising writer's are
trying to get your attention by fat general, mis-
leading statements in an effort to cover up the
high prices on their cars, we want to talk to
you on the sane and practical comparative basis
of facts and figures.
When we make the claim that our big forty
five horsepower fve-passenger touring car at
$500 is the equal of any $1,000 Car on the mar
ket, we can prove this to be an actual fact. The
better you are acquainted with automobile con-
ditions, cars, prices, specifications, etc.. in fact
the more you know about the automobile indus.
try the more you will realize this to be true.
What do cars of this type usually sell for :?
You find them for $l7OO, Sl7SO, $500 and $4,000
and some higher. But why should you pay the
higher price You will find these higher priced
cars are no better-no larger-no more power
ful-no more comfortable, than this car for
$500. So why pay moreP You will find the
