In the first place Saxon Six has the quality and in
the second place has the performance ability to
olltcass the others in this field.
For instance just take its big features such as Con-
tinenal six cylinder motor. You know this motor
is found in no lower priced car, but is found

has four of them. I have just gone list of

And you will find this policy reflected In the per-

you regarding Saxon Six with the fact that it is a
mighty economical car to run have about finished

A gallon of gasoline will produce from twenty to
twenty-three miles Of pleasant riding, and set of
tires regularly produces from six to eight thousand
miles Bearin mind that Saxon Six has as great tire
surface proportonate to the weight of the car, as
any car made.
Now is the time to get your car. The good weather
is here-the kind of days and evenings that make
indoors pretty stuffy and hard to take.
