1t is completely equipped. Every detail that
adds to comfort and luxury is included, but this
is not done with the idea of attracting sales or
through skimping in any other direction.
EACH SUPREME At HIS WORK
Each expert is supreme in the work at which
he leads. A badly proportional car would be
impossible under such methods of designing
Imagine the completeness of a car designed un-
der such conditions. There are specialists
among these IS men, some of whom know moth
ing of motor designing. Their forte is in other
directions. They have been gathered from ey.
erywhere. --.., ~ =@>zs.es
The orenan car, no matter who built it,
even though it were Howard Z. Coffin himself
cannot be its equal for no one man can ever pos
sess the skill and experience these men com
bined possess.
But just as trained soldiers under proper
generalship become fighting machine OF great

ton and guidance brought out of his 81 asso-
ciates work of which they are incapable under

All that years of experience has taught in all

construction, is represented by. these 4s men.
This you can recognize when yon examine the.

for it is expressed in every line--in the ease Of

and powerful responsiveness, in the smo0fhhcss
