NEW PAIGE MOTOR MAKES
WINTER DRIVING PRACTICAL
Electrical Heater and Superheatcd
Manifold Eliminates Winter
Morning Troubles.

The days are fast approaching when
the motorist, starting to his office in
the morning and observing that the
mercury has had a sinking spell over
night, will wonder If the "old bus"
is going to behave itself or whether
IT wv stage its usual exhibition of
reluctance and obstinacy.
The fellow on the Wind-swept street
corner waiting for a crowded trolley
is inclined TO envy his neighbor who
rolls downtown on a winter morning
comfortably protected in his automo-
bile. But he overlooks the fact that
winter driving brings It's problems and
that many a driver has fought his
battle at the garage door and, per-
haps, continued 1t half a mile down
the street. Most motors are as reluct-
ant to start on a cold winter morn
ing as a small boy is TO hop out of
bed, and even after you have per-
suaded them to wake up and get busy
they are inclined to hesitate every few
feet until they are thoroly warm.
However, engineers have been
working on these problems and there
is every reason to believe that relief
is at hand. In fact, according to the
announcement of the Paige-Detroit
Motor Car company, a new Paige
motor has been developed which, be-
cause of radical changes in design and
certain attachments, will make winter
. driving entirely practical, eliminating
all the disagreeable features. Briefly
expressed, the new Paige "Six-55,"
found in the current models for sedan
coupe, limousine and town car in
sures instant starting, no matter what
the temperature may be and a power
pulse of full and uninterrupted
strength Immediately available
Here is a common winter expert
ence of Mr.. Motorist. He takes the
wheel and operates his starting device.
The engine is cold, the fuel is cold,
and conditions are generally bad, so
there is no result. The engine re-
mains dead and the car can't move.
II Is necessary to keep the motor
churning before there is a response
from the engine. and, finally, after a
great drain on both temper and bat
ferries, there is feeble response, the
clutch is engaged and with a few
Jerks and much sputtering the car
moves off. But it is still obstinate.
1t bucks it kicks and il snorts as tho
1t were angry at being turned out into
the cold. 1t frequently takes a half
mile before the power pulse is con-
tinuous full and smooth.
The Paige enclosed models have
three mechanical features that elimi-
nate all these difficulties. They are
an electrical gasoline heater, a super
heated manifold ana a valve polish
ing device. The eleCtri al gasoline
heater is an ingen. Gus application of
the electrical cooking utensil idea.
1t insures warm gasoline in the car
buretor
Warm fuel means instantaneous
action. You put your starting device
in operation an1 the response in the
engine is immediate. The motor is at
work promptly and you are off with
out any churning or drain on the bat
teries
In these days of low-test gasoline,
the low temperatures of winter cause
the irregular power pulses and the
jerking and sputtering oS the motR
as well as a waste of fuel, until every
thing is thoroly heated. Superheating
is the only efficient method of ex-
tracing energy from low-test gaso-
line. This is the purpose of the new
Paige superheated manifold. 1t acts
as drying process and converts wet, |
