H00SIER DRIVES COLE CAR
AT LOW MILEAGE EXPENSE

W. S. Gilbreath, secretary OF the
Hoosier Motor club OF indianapolis fin
ished a days run OF 16l miles recently
which only strengthens his conviction
that tho standardized Cole Is the machine
which gives the highest and best service
at a low cost. On the run through ter
ritory north OF Indianapolis as far as
Lafayette and Crawfordsville, an aver
age speed OF twenty-eight miles an hour
was maintained with a gasoline consump-
tion OF eight gallons for the entire trip
This makes a remarkable mileage per
gallon and gives his car. a 1912 model
an average OF eighteen and seven-eights
miles per gallon. Mr.. Gibreath asserts
that the engine is in perfect running or
der despite its two years of hard service
and runs as smoothly as II did on It's
maiden trip from the Indianapolis fac
tory.

So one bright morning, seeing her

things to interest her that she didn't
