/ this year held recently along the shores
| of the Black sea from Odessa to Sebas-
topol and return. an American made car
carried off the honors in competition with
the pick of the European factories. The

test without a single penalty. and was
| awarded the first prize OF the Russian
4 Imperial Automobile Society. The field
4 of competitors included such well known
/ foreign makes as Mercedes. Benz, Opel
/ Dixi Lorraine Dietrich, Windhoff, Adler
/ and Fiat
i This record of an Ameriean-built car
in the test held under foreign conditions
is said not only to be gratifying, but
| noteworthy because 1t demonstrates to
! the automobile buying public of Europe
/ that automobiles made in this country
] are thoroughly efficient in design and
/ construction.
] The reputation of these cars was fur
i Their enhanced when, on the day after the
completion Of the sebastopol run, this
/ same car was awarded the prize given
/ by the city of Moscow for the best speed
trials in that city.
