gance and luxury.
In our opinion, more efficient six cylinder power
plant can be produced and every feature of the car
throughout is in keeping with the high mechanical

Steep hills and heavy clirging sand roads are mere
child's play for the ''Six-46.'
This is practically throttle controlled 1t responds
to the slightest impulse of the accelerator and is
ideal for the driver who must pick her way
in the thick congested traffic.
And then consider the matter of design.
Beyond any question of doubt the Fairfield is the most
widely copied that has ever been placed on the
American market.
Remember, Paige first introduced the pure European
streamline twelve months ago.
Look around the automobile shows and see for YOUR
self whether or not this design has been copied by
practically all makers of quality cars.
Above ALL the Paige "Six-46'' is a sensible car.
While there has been considerable talk about exces-
sively high speed motors fatly refuse to support
any such propaganda.
Paige motors built endure and we believe that il
is impossible to reconcile excessively high speed
