The Reward of a
High Ideal

Thus the high ideals of Stearns-
Knight manufacture were rewarded.
Since then, thousands of Rolls-Royce
aviation motors have been built, de-
liVered and accepted. J.
These contracts have been com.
pleted. Stearns efficiency and excel
lent workmanship have been highly
complimented by Rolls-Royce engi-
neers.
Stearns-K Knight master workman
ship has now been released from this
important war work. An enlarged
and perfected plant and organizes
ton has turned its energies to
Stearns-Knight cars. These cars re-
fleet, both in design and manufac-
ture, the experience gained in build
ing the famous Rolls Royce motors.
Daimler Of England, Panhard Of
France, and Minerva of Belgium
World-fanled cars first proved the
superiority of a Knight-motored car.
Then Stearns offered America the
Stearns-Knight. Today this car rep
resents power, silence, fexibility and
reliability. It most closely APP
proaches that for which all motor

II also have reason to believe that
this was the first car of any of the
allied armies to cross the Rhine, hav-
ing reached Alt. Briesac via Colmar
on November Is, seven days after
the armistice was signed. The Rhine
was crossed at Alt. Briesac after the
rear guard of the retreating German
army. The whole adventure was
always risky and at times delicate.
The return was made to Alsace via
Strassbourg, Colmar and Muel-
house on the Swiss border, France
being entered by way of Belfort.

many ways has been remarkable. We

DEFORE the war, the name
N "Rolls-Royce" stood for high
- mechanical excellence in auto
mobile, construction = perhaps the
worlds best. During the war 'FRolls-
Royce" has meant a wonderful avia-
ton kindergarten even than the
famed automobile motor.
During the past four years, Rolls
Royce factories have been devoted
to the production of these aviation
motors exclusively. Yet they could
not meet the demand. Additional
manufacturing facilities had to be
found. None were available in Eng
land and so British government and
Rolls-Royce engineers came to Amer
lea in search of a plant that could
meet Rolls-Royce standards of excel
lence.
Following a thorough canvass of
motor car factories and a study of
men, methods, equipment and quail
ity of present product, these engi-
neers. were convinced that the
Stearns- Knight organization and fac
tories were suitable for the precision
manufacture of this motor. So they
selected this organization for Rolls
Royce production.

They had driven the Germans from

his heart swelled with the conscious

echoing into the distance.

day, the day of which every soldier
dreams.

With one resounding cheer the lines
swept after him. A ripple of machine

pressed on, cries of triumph upon their
lips. the faces, set above the cleaning
bayonets, animated by a single pur-

Mark fought in the bloody swirl.
Blades thrust at him, bullets tore his
tattered uniform. Once he was down.

tried to drive with his sword, lunged
and missed. Then the uplifted rifle
fell harinlessly beside him, and the
giant fell forward, dead, over him. pin

him with his blood. A bayonet thrust
had passed clean through his body.
