PURCHASERS WANT THINGS THAT COUNT
 IN AUTOMOBILES
"Ted" Brownell Says There Are Few Purchasers Who Are Struck by the
 Freak Designs

F. w. Brownell of the Brcwnell Auto distributors, declares that the automobile purchaser these days are looking for those things that count in an automobile.
 He says: Tt is my experience that people have changed in their ideas for what counts most in an automobile. They are no longer swayed by unique or novel design, but by real w~-th. They want the car that offers the most all-round value for the amount of money they are will ing to spend and they use common sense look for power, dignified design, roomy comfort, easy riding quality. good looks that do not become obsUIete in a year, and the ability of the car to stand up under hard usage The great majority balanced unit. rather than car of fad dish design or that is one that is over developed in one or two points and under developed in others.
 T take pride in the fact that the owner of a Studebaker car would not be ashamed to drive it three, four or five years. In ether words Studebaker cars have never shown radical changes in appearance each year, so as to make man driving last years model feel that he was way behind the times. Of course there are people who seek novel and faddish appearance of design, but it is al. element in the fast diminishing minority. Studebaker with their outL1t of 100000 cars for 1916 cannot afford to build the type of car that reaches such a limited field.

SAXON MAKES BIG GAIN ON COAST
Saxon Six Now Ranks Fifth as Compared to Thirty
 Second Last Year

California is the motor-wise state of the union-the best educated in the mer. its of the various makes of cars. The number Of sales in California is taken by the motor world as indicative of the true merit of an automobile, so manufacturers watch. the results carefully.
 To determine accurately the number of Saxon motor cars now in the coast state a check of the license registra. tion was taken recently by the Saxon Motor Car company. It was then com pared with the check of year ago-ano with rather astonishing results.
 May 1. 1915, the Saxon car ranked thirty second in numerical strength among the cars in California of all makes. Today it stands in fifth place. In the last year the gain made by the Saxon in the state of California pulled it from near the bot tom of the list to a top place position.
 This the officers of the company take as definite proof of the public apprecia. tion of the true value of Saxon cars, and also as a very good indication of tho remarkable growth of the company in the past 12 months The returns from Cali fornia are similar to those in other states Everywhere Saxon has come to the from in the last year.
