AS far as possible the checks are be-

chronological order as the crs were

The profit-sharing owners in this

who have bought many FOrds for the

who have invested their savings in their

The large number of women on the

manufacturers Of enclosed cars, have

plans for this coming season to provide
for more than twice as many cars as
they built in 1915.
w. G. Anderson president Of the
Anderson Electric Car company, manu-
fncturers Of the Detroit Electric car
says, at is my belief from having care
fully watched the automobile business
through its various development during
the past 10 years, that there are two
very evident reasons for the growing
favor the enclosed car is finding among
practical motor ear buyers. First, be
cause of its construction, the enclosed
ear provides an equipage which can be
used with the greatest efficiency and
comfort every day the year round. So
when n man buys an enclosed car he
eliminates the expense Of an extra body
for winter driving which touring car
owner is forced to meet-unless he puts
his ear up for the winter and so loses
four or five months Of aut0m0biling
each year, The second important reas.
on, as | see it, is that the custom of
long tours by automobile is rapidly dy-

This decrease in touring simply means
that the open touring car is becoming
less and less factor among automo-
biles. Detroit Electric holds its SUI
pTemacy among enclosed cars because it
offers not only the general advantages
Of the inside.driven automobile, but
also the many further features Of com
fort, economy, silence and smoothness
which are only possible with electric
power. Our dealers in every part of
the country report most gratifying
situation for this coming season.
Although few years ago electric
cars in the main were looked upon as
only town cars, this feeling has disap.
peared entirely from the minds of those
who have kept in touch with the mar
velous advances in electric car CON
structon' and design. The modern De
troit Electric has plenty Of power to
climb steep hills and speed enough for
every ordinary need. It is no uncOm-
mon thing nowadays to see numerous
electric cars on country roads making
trips Paved streets and
smooth boulevards no longer mark the
limit of an electric cars usefulness.
The Detroit Electric with its great bat
terry capacity and smooth power flow is
Just as efficient on interurban trips as
it is for spins through the park. Amy
