MILBURN RUNS
DESPITE SNOW
and BAD ROAD

THE day has passed when the cleo
trio pleasure car must remain In the
garage as soon as snow begins to COW
er the streets. Time was when an
electric automobile of the pleasure
variety, was useless in deep snow.
but the Milburn Light Electric has
added to its achievements In hill
climbing and in travel over muddy
roads by overcoming the snow obsta-
Eles. In verification Of this statement
come snapshots from Sioux Falls, s.
D. showing this famous car operating
in IA inches of snow with the temper
ature 80 degrees below Zero" said
Tuston Marlatt, local salesman, today.
I'm forwarding the photographs, J.
w. Fem, of Fem Brothers, an en-
thusiastic owner residing In Sioux
Falls, writes: 1T may interest you to
know that we have electrics OF var
ious other makes in this town, but
since this deep snow and cold wealth
er not one of them has been seen on
our streets except the Milburn, which
Is out every day and all day. We
have had more than II inches of snow
on the level and seventeen consecu-
tive days when the mercury was be-
low zero all the time. Several days
if1.was from II to 80 below. and the
Milburn was on the Job every minute.
"Milburn Light Electric dealers re-
fer to the attainments of their car, in
deep snow. with boundless enthus-
iasm. 1t means, they declare. that
their car is now the most efficient
winter machine in either electric or
gasoline circles. Among its features,
which make II superior to the gaso-
line car, they contend, Is the all i'm
portant one that is affected by Meth
err heat nor cold. The driver of the
Milburn Light Electric may leave his
machine in front OF his office or out
side the theatre during the coolest
weather and return to It with the
knowledge that no trouble will be ex-
perienced In getting away. At the
same time 1t has been unnecessary
for him to heed those numberless
precautions, always in the mind OF
>the owner of a gasoline car during
cold weather, with especial reference
to keeping his gasoline and water in
the radiator from freezing.
added to these advantages, the
owner of Milburn Light Electric has
q machine without superior in gen
eral appearance. It's graceful lines
splendid finish. luxurious upholstery
deep cushions and beautiful hangings
make It a car which will appeal to
the most fastidious purchaser And,
continue the dealers, when the winter
months are over the Milburn Light
Electric owner has car just as de-
sirable for summer as 1t was for win
ter. They point to the fact that al
though the machine was warm and
coy In the winter, the same car is
equally cool and pleasant during the
hot months, because in the light cleo
: tr,c there Is no motor beneath your
feet to give you the same sensation
as sitting over a stove and the simple
mechanism eliminates those parts
which get out of order and cause the
perspiring driver. who has been be-
meath, around and on top of the
stalled vehicle, to vow that he is on
his last gasoline automobile trip.
Another feature Of the Milburn
Light Electric, which appeals to the
ordinary purchaser, is It's easy trans
formation from a closed winter car
to an open summer automobile. BY
the simple movement Of lever, the
windows can be raised or lowered,
adding warmth or GOODNESS as de-
sired
