happened so seldom in this paper that il

peating without causing the force any
marked misery.

through congested city traffic,
through mud, through deep sand,
through rock strewn canyons, over
hills and mountains and average
country roads.
And then the full significance of
this average of 23.5 miles per gal
lon of gasoline will strike you.
This countrywide Saxon "Six"
test proves what any Saxon owner
could do with his own car. Remem-
Der that in most instances, each
Saxon "Six" carried five passen-
gers.
Ask yourself (if you would know
just how great an achievement this
isl what other car, of equal size and
power at less than $1,000, could
match this record.
The Detroit times. [volume] (Detroit, Mich.) 1903-1920, 1916-07-12

Yet, after all, the average of 23.5
miles per gallon of gasoline is not
the only remarkable thing about
this 81 800 mile run.
For there is the fact that not a
single one of these 206 motors
stopped running once.
There is the fact that no mechan-
ical troubles occurred.
There is the fact of the extraordi-
nary stability and strength of
Saxon six" that this run estab-
lishes
In no other way could the pledge
of STRENGTH, ECONOMY,
SERVICE, made to Saxon six"
owners by the Saxon Motor Car
Corporation, be proved more vivid
ly, more clearly, more impressively
than by this performance of the
car itself.

ON July 1st, FOG Saxon dealers

economy of Saxon Six"
The winner averaged "a 2-3 miles
per gallon of gasoline. The grand
average for the FOG Saxon "Sixes"
was 23.5 miles per gallon.
The total distance Travelled was
$1,000 miles - more than twice
around the world-nearly 20 times
across the continent. During the
entire $1,000 miles not a single
motor stopped running.

SIZE OF THE CORN CROP

SIZE OF THE CORN CROP
Some idea of the corn crop of the
United States may be obtained when
it is known that for every dollar of
gold taken from American mines the
farmers of the country husked SIT
worth of corn. Measured in money,
the value of the crop in 1916 is esti-
mated at $1,5OO,0O0,O00. The corn
fields are large enough to cover all
of the surface of Ohio. Indiana, Hli-
