Car values in the same pr1ce-
class do vary. Men generally
know that now.
It is clearly understood that the
price of a car does not depend
alone upon the actual cost OF the
materials and the labor that 60
into the ear.
Such factors as the efficiency OF
the manufacturer, the shrewd-
ness Of the purchasing depart
nent, the economy in building,
the volume Of the output are all
big and weightv influences upon
the final price Of any car.
So you see it is possible that
car selling at 500 or $500 less
than another may have more
actual car-value than the higher
priced car.
1t is true in regard to Saxon
"Six" at 1885, as compared to
any 1-.sar car priced from 5000
to $500 higher. That we do
know. And it can be proved.>
Just for a minute consider this
phase Of the matter.
One car Of unusually high stand
ing.-and deservedly so-with
the public, costing over $4,000,
has these four features Timken
axles, Thinker bearings, Spiral
hevel gear, Exide storage bat
tery that are also features of
Saxon "six' at $685.
Another ear costing, over $1,000,

radiator, spiral bevel gear, semi
floating axle, Exide storage bat
tery-that are also Saxon Six
features.
Five cars costing from $4,000 up
have this feature Spiral bevel
gear that is also q feature OF
Saxon six
So it goes thruout Saxon "Six"
in feature after feature. We
can give you many more SINH
lar instances showing that forty
cars costing from $1,195 to
$4,000 coincide with Saxon
"Six" in two or more important
features.
In other words, the important
features Of Saxon "Six" are the
finest quality features that the
automobile industry knows.
Several factors have made it
possible for the Saxon "Six" to
be a quality car and yet sell for
$685..
It is manufactured efficiently,
neither time nor labor is wasted
or utilized ineficiently. Pur-
chases Of parts and materials
are made far in advance. The
changing conditions Of the sup
ply markets are under constant
attention. Saving after saving
is effected.
Saxon Skies are also built in
volume. Buying in quantity and
building in quantity open the
way to many marked economies.
And the margin Of profit on each
Saxon Six = is kept low.
The Richmond Virginian. (Richmond, Va.) 1910-1920, 1917-07-08

Every corner is clipped savo
that Of quality.
And 80 we can price Saxon ssSix"
at $685. and yet have made It =
bigger car-value than any other
at 5000 or $500 more in pAice.
It is not only better-value car

or two above, but it is q better
