At last man was to be supreme and
the man-beast to find forever his allot-
ted place. Fly as they would, the
fugitives were too slow to escape from
the active savages and from every
side in the tangled woods we heard
the exultant yells. the twanging of
bows and the crash and bud as ape
men were brought down from their
hiding places in the trees.

terrified by the spectacle from afar of
an avalanche of apes falling from the

We had returned across the plateau
with our allies two days after the bat
tie and made our camp at The foot Of
their cliffs. They would have us share
their caves with them. but Lord John
would by no means consent to It, con-
sidering that TO do so would put us in
their power If they were ~treacherously
disposed. We kept our independence,
therefore, and had our weapons ready
for any emergency while preserving
the most friendly relations. We also
continually visited their caves. which
were most remarkable places. though
whether made by man or by nature
we have never been able to determine.
They were all on the one stratum, hol-
lowed out of some soft rock which lay
between the volcanic bnsalt forming
the rudy cliffs above them and the
hard granite which formed their base.

you know this car. The whole country knows this
car. This car instaneously created a demand which
never permitted the Paige factory to catch up with
orders until the huge annex was opened, although the
plant worked night and day.
This Fairfield .tSix-46" is the car which in the popular
judgment of what power, f~lexibility, beauty, service and
motoring luxury and elegance should be, established
new standards.
Its refinements and Improvements have been brought
down to the current hour of the industry. The Fairfield
"Six-6' holds and will continue indefinitely to hold
the Leadership of all real Quality cars among the medium
priced "Sixes."
1t is so firmly entrenched in the appreciation. confidence.
even affection of the discriminating motoring public,
that it is guaranteed a continuous demand. The Fair
field 'Six-46" is an American institution.
With the Fairfield "Six-46' the Paige first won the Supre-
macy of the "Sixes.'' With il. re- enforced now by the
new five.passenger Fleetwood "Six.38," Paige will con-
tnue to hold the Supremacy of the "Sixes."
This, then, is the Paige Line:

Quality is Again Supreme
N.IRST, we want to introduce to you-and to every
man whose business it is so study and judge motor
car values-the newest Paige-the five-passenger Fleet
wood "Six-38."
We ask you to examine as exhaustively, impartially and
critically as you can very detail, every specification of
this %car-which you will see at the New York Show,
and all the other Automobile Shows this winter.
We ask you to bear firmly in mind these Three Vital
Facts: First, that the price of materials and labor has
increased substantially; second, that this new Paige
Light ''Six-38' is in actual Sterling Quality and Value
an even more remarkable offering than the Paige "Six-36'
which sold at $1O95 land was sold out by November
first); and, third, that il. spite of this substantial increase
In actual manufacturing cost, this new Paige Fleetwood
"Six-38"-in every important feature a reproduction of
the great seven-passenger Fairfield "Six-46"-is offered
for $105O. That is actually a reduction of SIS for more
actual quality.
There are reasons why the Paige-and probably the Paige
alone-can do that. We have brought our manufacture
ing equipment and methods to the highest degree of
efficiency. For efficiency and economy we believe that
Paige is unsurpassed. We have put into operation the
huge factory annex which means a capacity of $50 Paiges
a day and a schudIe production of 1000 Paiges this
coming year. We have the lowest overhead expense
per car, we believe, in the motor car industry.
That is why Paige CAN honestly lower price and actually
give More Quality.
That the Paige actually Ia added quality at lower price
is for you to judge.
