ed the shareholders by a report that
the club had been operating at a pro-
fit ever since the opening of the sea-
son. despite considerable unfavorable
weather. He pointed out that the init.
al expense of placing the team in the
field had been quite heavy because a
new park had to be provided When
the company was organized new
park was not contemplated so the com.
pany was incorporated for only $780,
coo. The capital stock is not suffi-
Gent to provide for all initial expendi-
lures and the directors want to dis
pose OF all these obligations immedi.
ately. 1t was decided by the stock
holders to sell about 81 1000 additional
stock at once and those present at the

How Can They Do It?

The Proof is Here-Read for Yourself.
Here we have taken 40 Inequality
cars built in America. They range in
cost from $1,147 to $4,000 for the chas-
sis alone.
Let us together compare these cost
| ly cars to Saxon "Six'-checking off
feature after feature.
First the motor-Saxon six" has
a Continental motor. So have IL of
these 40 cars, costing from $1.175 to
$4,000. Saxon six" costs 1895.
Then the axles. Saxon six" has
Thinker axles. So have 10 of these
20 cars costing from $3.50 to $4,000.
Now the bearings. Saxon six" has
Thinker bearings. So have II of these
~ cars, costing from 1925 to $4,000.
And the carburetcr Saxon six"
has a Stromberg carburetor So have
9 of these 40 cars, costing from $1,195
TO $4,000.
Next the ignition. Saxon six" has
Remy ignition. So have 9 of these
10 cars, costing from $1,175 to $4,000
Then the radiator Saxon six" has
q Feeders radiator. So have Is of
these 40 cars, costing from $1,150 to
$4,000.
Now the gear Saxon six" has a
spiral beveled gear. So have Is of
these 40 cars, costing from $1,175 to
$4,000 for the chassis alone.
And the axle type. Saxon Six" has
semi-floating axle. So have II of
these 40 cars, costing from $1,000 to
$4,S00
Next the storage battery Saxon
Six has the "Exide" battery. So
have of these 40 cars, costing from
$1,145 to $4,000.
Last, the starting and lighting sys-
TEN. Saxon Six has Wagner. So
have II of these 40 cars, costing from
s1,145 to $685..
We find. you see, that the ten most
important features of Saxon six" are
also features of these 20 costly cars.
Or, look at it in this way. Saxon
Six" sells for $685..
This price is the lowest level that
shrewd and careful purchasing. that
strict economy, that highly developed
manufacturing efficiency and volume
output can bring it to.
These 40 other cars cost from $3.50
TO $4,000 more than Saxon Six" yet
we find them duplicating Saxon Six"
features in 10 important points.
That proves-from one angle-the
high quality of Saxon Six"
From another angle it proves that
for $3.50 to $500 more you cannot buy
a better car than Saxon Six" So
why pay more than Saxon six" price?
You don't get more in car value,
or in beauty, or In performance and
your car will cost you more in upkeep
than Saxon Six"
So in every way you figure this mat
ter, Saxon Six" is a better buy than
any car at from $3.50 to $500 more in
price.
Saxon"Six" is big, roomy car,
seating five passengers in perfect
comfort.
There's plenty OF seat space and
more than ordinary leg length.
And Saxon six" is a spirited car in
1t responds to the lightest touch on
the accelerator.
1t handles easily and holds the road |
we'll when travelling at high speed.
Furthermore Saxon Six is a Wig |
orously flexible car and wonderful |
high-gear performer.
The price is $685. t. O. b. Detroit.
