 The car was the Liberty Six. It was introducing the Liberty 'straight-line eff fact in automobile body design. And the way it caught the popular fancy during the few days of that show es- tablished the success of this new type
 It was interesting to observe that dur ing the following year score or more manufacturers made radical changes in their lines and showed a strong tendency toward the lines the Liberty had first presented It was pretty difficult, how ever, to copy the new style, and yet ac- complish something different.
 Recently far greater percentage are following the straight-line style, includ- ing many of the highest-priced models, and they are wonderfully improved in appearance as compared with their prede- cessors.

JORDANS MAKE HIT
 IN BIRMINGHAM
Many New Improvements Appeal to Enthusiastic
 MOrtOristS

Motorists who viewed for the first time the new Jordan models shown at the Brownen Auto company discovered sew eral new improvements to the chassis Most of these improvements can be classed as refinements rather than i'm provements, because the Jordan chassis is still the same in it's essentials, made up of the best universally approved units.
 Not satisfied with an aluminium body to eliminate the most annoying rattles, the Jordan company adopted a patented spring device which now practically elim. mates "the last squeak" The device con sists of the two coiled springs, one or each side of the main spring, with ground steel washers inserted between the chassis spring and the coEed spring to provide good wearing surface. self adjusting grease cover encloses the coiled springs. The whole devise is packed with graphite grease
 Specially designed rear springs allow the car to hang lower, which is always a factor in improving the looks of car. The springs have been designed, too, for fast driving over rough roads.
 Much weight has been eliminated from the car. the Silhouette four-pasenger tip ping the scale at only $50, while the seven passenger weighs S24O pounds. This is the lightest chassis on the road for a 127-inch wheelbase.
 Ordinarily, the extremely light car of short wheelbase vibrates up and down, while the extremely heavy car on the short wheelbase, cannot escape the wear and tear of sidesway. Jordan claims for his new car that it has banished both difficulties. The whole secret, he says, is in the hanging of the car and the design of the springs.
