Why the $3.50 Price?

why such 4 car at this price?'
Here's the reason: For years we have
built high priced cars, educated our me-
chanics to greater skill, developed our
factory until we now are able to produce
the Cross Country.
The Rambler was first to offer real
bicycle for less than 500. The Rambler is
now first to offer 4 real car below 81, 900.
The public is ready. The Cross Country is
here--it's the flag bearer for 1912 sure to
he 4 Rambler year. TO see this car is to
want it-write for the name of the nearest
Qealer-aSk Tor the Rambler Catalog.

Delight to Drivers

You must experience the feel of that
Cross Country wheel. It's delight. Think
of the unconscious ease with which YOU
guide bicycle. It's just that. Your arms
don't tire. Your legs don't cramp. Both
levers are inside and the sound of the motor
just the sweetest hum that turns instantly
into L snappy roar when the cut-out is
open.
Silent, long and lean, with swift moving
lines, the Cross Country has grace, Sugges-
ton Of speed and beauty of contour.
