False claims have been made
that the request to can and dry

Introducing a Motor That \
Developed by the War

For eight years now. the general public and the
automobile industry have learned to expect
great things Of the Paige-Detroit Motor Car
Company. Each Of our annual
nouncements has proved to be unusually
significant. Each one Of these announcements
has created history In very definite way.
and the motor car buyer has invariably been
the gamer.
This year, we confidently predict, will prove no
exception to the rule We have produced
car that must inevitably revoutionize the
trend of thought and practice in the six
cylinder field. Coming directly TO the point,
we have produced what we sincerely believe
to be perfect motor car.
1t will probably be your first impulse to condemn
this statement as extravagant and altogether
unproVable We ask you, however, to con-
slider Straightforward statement Of the facts.
You will then be IN position to accept or re-
ject our claims after thorough investigation
Of the car itself.
We would first remind you that internal com
bustion motors have been under the scientific
microscope for the past three years. The
European war necessitated immediate devel-
oPnnent in all fields of engineering. and the
gasoline engine has received more attention
than any other type Of power plant.
1t was quickly recognized that tractors. trucks
and aeroparles must be developed to their
utmost efficiency. The best brains of two
continents were focused on the problem.
American engineers-lncluding two Of our
own-wosked night and day just behind the
battle line in France
Ihen-sowly but surely-came the results.
Old weaknesses we're routed out and discarded
tor all time. Changes in design sug-
gested, applied and adopted Constant ex-
pertinent and tireless scientific research would
not be denied-and before long entirely new
principles and standards were firmly estab-
hshed.
The old orthodox gasoline motor was dead
deader than yesterdays newspaper. A new
King had been crowned in the engineering
world. The wheel Of progress had turned.
IL was at this point that the Paige-Detrot Motor
\ Car Company made a prompt decision. Paige
po,cer plants must be brought up to the current
day--tle current hou-of engineering e6iclen-
cy. Good as old motors had been, they tDere
not good enough ,uhen science afforded anything
better.

sense Of laboring efort-no buc<ing or

full stride with the speedometer needle fran

Despite its tremendous power, however, this new
motor is anything but gutton for fuel An

the great factors that have united to make

These indeed. are the factors that distinguish

ORIGIN OF FELT

Many centuries ago a poor monk
was compelled to travel upon a long
and arduous journey. His road was
rocky, his sandals were worn, and he
suffered agonies as he trudged grimly
upon his holy errand. One day as he
sat by the wayside resting, a sheep
came up to him, bleating in the most
friendly fashion. The good Monk pet
ted the sheep, and was grateful for
it's dumb friendliness, when suddenly
he had an inspiration. He took out
his sheath knife, sheared two hand
fuls of wool from the sheep and
placed one in the heel Of either san
dal. That afternoon as he trudged
along his feet seemed light, his steI
springy. The wool took the jar from
his spine. the impact Of the ston!
