COLE CAR AGAIN WINS
MT. DiABL0 CONTEST

On October % STANDARD Cole Eight
stock touring car won for the second
time within a year the notable Mt.
Diablo High Gear Contest, at Oakland,
Calf, ascending the famous test in
cline II feet farther than any other
car entered in the event. It was on
February of this year that the Cole
Eight also outdistanced all competi-
tors in similar test and annexed the
trophy offered at that time. @-s 49,.
Against the Cole Eight were pitted
many of the most prominent cars in
the V-type multiple cylinder class, in
Guiding Cadillac Eight, Stearns Eight,
King Eight, Haynes Twelve and Kissel
Twelve.
The Mt. Diablo High Gear Contest
is regarded as one of the most impor-
tant tests held on the Pacific coast,
and the fact that the Cole Eight was
able to exceed the performance of its
competitors to such market degree
is regarded by the officials of the COM
pany as one of the most striking feats
the car has yet performed.
