Now an Eight. The first Knight motored
Eight Is a Stearns. So once again Stearns
sets the pace. Once again stearns offers to
you the ultimate car-several years in ad-
vance. Remember. 1t Is the only car that
combines all the advantages of eight
cylinders and the Knight principle. But
consider nrst Of ALL that back OF this I'M
usual combination Is Stearns reputation. In
this car alone can you obtain these three
advantages
This combination embodies all the adj
vantagcs one could wish for in a motor car.
In design the Stearns-Knight Eight is
comparable only with the most advanced
styles OF the best cars OF European manu-
facture
The bodies with their spacious seating ar
rangements, especially designed to conform
to al the requirements Of comfort and the
utmost riding ease under all road condi-
upholsterer's art There is dignity in the
fittings of walnut and the closed body APP
pointments Of dull bronze and silver. What
car can compare with this In charm?
In Construction II represents the worlds
greatest power plant combined with the final
development Of the long famous Stearns
chaesis--a chassis comparatively light, yet
offering the same sturdiness which distin-
guished the older and heavier models.
The Stearns-Kmght Eight was designed
and 10 built entirely in the shops Of the F. B.
etearns Company. Each part Is brought into
definite relationship with the other in that
simple and practical manner resultant from
long experience. Nothing has been left un.
done TO- make the stearns-Knight Eight the
