NO WORRY OVER GAS

while all manufacturers OF gasoline

whether tho Government will restrict

The stanley has been given a more
graceful design this year than ever
before. As for It's power, the company
has been manufacturing for twenty years
an automobile that proceeds with a SOFT,
gliding motion, without any noise or
vibration, without any mysterious teen
nicalities, without any clutches or
gears.
THE fuel item. besides freeing the
car owner from any fear OF not beng
able to obtain gasoline. is unique IN
its cheapness. The Stanley burner burns
kerosene, which usually sells for about
one third to one-half the price or gaso-
line. At twelve miles 70 tho gallon.
therefore, the fuel expense would be
equal TO twenty-four to thirty-siN miles
per gallon. Kerosene fuel helps to make
the Stanley the safest car In the world.
The time necessary 10 get up steam

Now. with separate fuel system to

three or four days without rehlling. This
keeps steam up overnight and will keep
the water hot for three or four days.
so that the car Is always ready on
a moments notice, and pumping fuel
into the main burner pressure tanks,
which used to be occasionally irksome,
has been entirely eliminated.
There is no such thing as inability
