LONG Wheel base IS
NOT NECESSARY NOW
New Peerless Construction in All
Purpose" Fours and Skies
Have Proved This.

Long wheelbase and great weight are
the qualities In a motor car which have
in the past been regarded as essential to
the production of the great riding comfort
and ease for the passenger. But the
Peerless "all purpose four and six, which
have recently been placed on the market
have proved that it is possible with the
designs OF springs that are now available,
and the spring material that has been
developed in twelve years OF motor-car
building, to secure equal comfort in a
light, short-wheelbase car.
Since the all purpose" Peerless four
demonstrators were placed in the hands
of dealers throughout the country thou
sands OF demonstrations have been given
TO former owners OF 5000 cars Of both
the Peerless and other makes in the
same class.
These buyers. accustomed to the very
highest development of motor car quail
ties, have united in testifying that the
light short-wheelbase Peerless, with its
three point rear platform spring suspen-
sion and upholstery and body work Of
the same quality that is used In s, 900 cars,
is equal In riding ease to any car that
has ever previously been upon the mar
ket.
This result has turned the extra long
wheelbase and great weight of the older
great many will consider a useless bur-
den. The long wheelbase makes 1t i'm
possible to turn a car in an ordinary city
street without backing Backing is al
ways a troublesome operation and one
that frequently results in smash-ups.
The great weight of the car necessi-
tates very large tires which wear down
rapidly. and it requires a great deal more
gasoline and oil to operate the larger and
heavier motors
The 'all purpose" Peerless in fact has
cut tire and gasoline costs one-half under
what was usual for the touring type Of
