/ leading car is the $740 Junior This
car embodies the same mechanical
/ perfections, the same luxurious ap-
pointments and distinctive appearance
that have always made the Pullman
a car to he proud of anywhere.

tically new car; for instance, COM

The 1916 Pullman affords a wide
variety of body types, four in all, on
| one chassis. These include a five
I passenger touring car, a wo-passen-
ger roadster, a three-pasesnger road

especially women drivers. .
/ The Pullman Company by it's eff
4 forts, has succeeded in building Il
/ tive-passenger model embodying more
leg room, larger seating capacity and
greater comfort than any of their
competitors.
! The Clover Leaf roadster is a
classy, distinctive-looking car. 1t is
styled the Glover Leaf because of the
arrangement OF the three seats, some
what in the shape of a three-leaf
| clover. The two front seats are di-
Vided, leaving an aisleway to the rear

comfortably holding two large per-
sons, with plenty of leg room and un-
usual space behind the steering
wheel. There is also an excessive
amount of room in the rear for the
storage of suit case or luggage. 1t is
a sturdy looking car in every respect
and capable of all-around hard
usage. .,....
The Pullman Company builds win
ter tops for all. its open bodies so
that a customer at a small additional
! cost can enjoy his car the year round.
These tops are built to conform TO the
lines of the car and when mounted
give the car that same smart appear
ance as the coupe or limousine with
the cost.
II The De Luxe coupe, with its distinc-
tive design, ease of control and pow
erful motor, is typical of 1916 Pull
man series, tailored by artists to suit
the good taste of milady; graceful yet
reliable. 1t is a thorough pro-
duction of the year in motordom, the
smart clean lines of the body; the
careful, harmonious exterior finish;
the gently rounded windows, are in
keeping withs the refinement and
quiet elegance of the interior Richly
upholstered, the soft tufted seats are
deep and wide and comfortable. The
lustrous plate glass windows, the
dainty flower glass and the looped
curtains, all help create an exclusive
atmosphere. Luxury, simplicity, dis
tinction; these qualities have been the
purpose of the designer. Never be-
fore in the history of automobile
building has it been possible to pro-
duce a closed car of a distinctive
class at a price under from two to
three thousand dollars and at the
same time dispense with a hired
chauffeur.
The Pullman coupe de luxe. with
the CHI. magnetic gear shift, at
1890, offers the first solution ever
presented to the automobile public.
This coupe is truly fashionable car,
so simplifed mechanically that it has
all the advantage OF Ine electric WlIn
none of it's limitations 1t is car
that one need not be afraid of and
yet at ones finger tips is the full
capacity of a fine motor. Like all of
the Pullman 1916 models, 1t is a car
to be proud of anywhere.
