The Car Itself
Power, Too

We tried out the Briscoe on hills, in sand,
in mud-under every conceivable condition of
use. We>put it through harder tests than you
will ever give it. And we found always

triurnphantly thro,-g'l every test.

That's strong statement, perhaps. But
it's one that we make with full confidence; and
we believe you will agree with us when you,
too, have thoroughly investigated the car.
Why We Chose Slle Briscoe
We wanted car on which we could stake
all our reputation-back Of which we could
confidently put every effort of our sales
organization.
Many cars were offered to us, and we in
vcstigated the merits of each.

Service to BriscOe Owners

We have had our troubles, in the past, in
getting spare or replacement parts promptly
on cars which we're merely assembled. Weeks
might elapse before the factory could get
action from the parts maker.
So it was great pleasure to find that in the
43-acre Briscoe plants, $3.50 of the car was
produced from the raw materials.
