veyor a completed car ready to roll off
under its own power.
One of the principal reasons for the
extraordinary growth of the Paige is the
success of the new Paige six. Since the
first of the year this car has created a
remarkable demand. reflected in the sale
of more than million dollars worth at
the Chicago and New York shows and
in the sale of an extra allotment of $50
in Chicago during the single month of
April The decision of the Paige directors
to double the output of their new fac
tory simply made necessary by the
demand for this car and by thus taking
prompt action they expect to meet this
demand in a manner that will give sat
isfaction to their dealers well as to
the prospective Paige buyers.
The Paige company is now in its NTH
year and it has developed in that short
time from output of 300 cars to its
present dimensions by following out n
rigid policy of putting the utmost value
into Paige cars, policy 1t has been able
to follow with success on account of its
small capitalization and its freedom from

Dario Rosta, star driver on the Peugeot
racing team in the next 50O-mile race,
has grown remarkably uneommunicative,
as the result of what he styles misquota-

reporters.
1t seems that after Resta won the VAN
derbilt and Grand Prize races at San
Francisco, he pointed out what seemed
to him several defects in American meth
DDS of race driving. These were seized
by the press with avidity. he alleges, and

friends. Now he is keeping his head shut

And last, but by no means least, Johnny

a pleasure, pastirne or sport, but busi-

The Years at Stake

Remember the years at stake-the
years you will drive your new car.
Any extra weight means a constant
tax. Any mistake in designing, any
weakness or shortening means con-

owner can tell you. And 10000 own
els have driven this Light Six some
30 million miles. This is the only
model of this new-day type which has
had time to prove itself faultless.
