CINCE Preston Motors has built this mod O ern automobile factory and has gotten together an organization of skilled mechan- ics that is capable of building high grade automobile, we have placed an unusually low price on our product.
 Knowing, as people do at glance, the cal .ibre motor car we are manufacturing from the list of standard units used in building the car, there are skeptics who are bringing the word CAN'T into play again when speaking of our achievements. They say we CAN'T build such car and sell it at $1,295 and make money-BUT WE WILL!
 The men behind the Preston Motors Corpor- ation are men with vision and determina- ton. In the first place they have scratched the word CAN'T from their vocabularies The word is never used in the Preston Motors plants.
 These men are building for the future They are building upon the solid foundation of

sane business judgment and experience which they have acquired in actual work in automobile factories. There is no theory and wild ideas used in their plans. They merit the confidence of the people because of the many things they already have accom- plished Those who continue to view their achievements skeptically are postponing the day when they will have to change their opinions.

It merits your patronage and good will be- cause it is an honestly built automobile, con- structed of the best standard units obtain able-you can see for yourself by looking at the specifications. Preston Motors has the factory and it has the organization to build just as good an automobile as is manufac- tured any place.
