ager.
The Roamer cars are built in two
types of chassis and many styles of
bodies. The two designs are known
as the "Six-4O" and "Six-90."
Each car is painted and trimmed to
order, giving the owner an automo-
bile that is distinctive and one that
reflects the taste OF the individual.
Every car is finished by hand and the
painting requires many operations to
complete. The process of enamel
baking, so common with the cheap
automobile, is foreign to the Roamer
builders. The interior finish for the
touring and roadster types is the
finest grade of leather, while rich
velours and whip cords are used in
the town cars.

the Roamer and many very effective

been worked out and offered for the
consideration and guidance of the
purchaser.
