SAVE GAS" SAYS MORROW.
Saxon Proves Itself In Great
Eco DOmy Run.

Tho Government, while denying n
possible shortage OF gasolene. has asked
motorists to conserve" says George Nor
row. president Of the Saxon Motor Com
pany of New YORK. Most motorists
want to save gasolene for selfish reasons
because the present price OF fuel is so
high that gasoene bills run into a goodly
figure. And those to whom the differ
ence in fuel costs means little should
offer their support to the Government by
selecting economy motor cars.
1T is possible to-day to get every
comfort and every convenience that .au-
tomonile engineering has produced and
at the same time to get a marked saw
ing in fuel consumption. The trend OF
motor car buyers Is in the direction OF
light weight economical cars and these
now offer all the refinements of the cost
lest automobiles.
Recently Saxon Six hung Gp a new
record for economy In the economy
contest at Los Angeles Saxon won It's
own class event and also carried off the
grand prize for economy over a field OF
fifteen different makes OF motor cars
ranging from those in Saxon price class
to much costlier cars.
saxon averaged ga miles to the
gallon over n 500 mile course that took
in all kinds of roads. While this was a
continuous run and undoubtedly took
less Easolene than could be expected in
city driving over the same number OF
miles, il demonstrates clearly what
Saxon will do.

the entire trip was made at that posi-
ton. Through mud and over sand roads
the engine performed unfailingly. Even
the breaking OF the fan belt just out OF

the remaining half Of the journey was
completed without the use OF the fan.
No signs of overheating developed, al

the trip that the worst roads were en-
countered. including many stretches or

The trip was started by way Of Ra-

expressed was its power and gasolene
economy. To make this test fair In every
respect the dealer relates that he placed
in the car a measured gallon OF gaso-
lsne after draining the tank and started
out on a demonstration run.
On this test the car was repeatedly
tfrottled down to remarkably low ranges
and the throttle suddenly advanced with
a resulting even quick pickup that as
