(To Be Continued)
Closed Car Increase Due to Utility and

| Comfort.
1.-The widespread popularity which
the closed types of car have attained
during the past year is proof of their
greater utility and comfort says
Burton Troxell of the Capital Motors
Corporation, local dealers in Chevro-
let passenger and commercial cars.
1T was only a few years ago that
the Sedan and Coupe. as we'll as all
other types of closed cars were con-
sdered more of a luxury than any
thing else.
This was due to the fact that they
were looked upon as distictly winter
cars.
THE idea of adopting them for
Iyear-round service. in both town and
country, never occurred to many peo-
|ple ontside the professional classes,
who, finding them ideally suited to
their needs were quick to take ad-
vantage of their many advantages.
Out thC SiSo'Si ''iN'''
ure of utility and comfort that the
closed car affords in all seasons was
impressed upon the public. Their
numbers began to multiply rapidly
until today the closed car is as com
monty used all months of the year
as the open car.
This is especially due to the fact
that these cars have ben made avail
able in economical types through the
medium of quantity production.
CLOSED cars were formerly regard
ed as too heavy to run ineXpensiveiy'
they can be had in correct weight
designs that cost as little to operate
as the least expensive open cars.
Quantity production methods have
placed them within the means OF
practically everyone at price that
includes many refnements.'
