LEXINGTON BODY
AND CHASSIS MATCH
Minute Man Six Chassis Coordinated
in Style and Refinement
with Body Work.

Matching IN beautiful symmetry and
graceful body lines the skill and genius
of it's engineers as displayed in "the Thor
oughbred chassis" Lexington Minute
Man six models exhibited at the automo-
bile show this week are creating an i'm
growing popularity.
A really distinctive car is Lexingtons
latest closed car model, the "Lex-Sedan."
In this car Lexington has reversed the
ordinary practice in motor coach build
ing. II has built the body to conform TO
the top, instead of building the top 70
fit the body of the car. This has made
possible a grace of body lines and beau.
tiful symmetry and harmony not possible
by any other practice
The effect of this new method OF top
construction Is that of the most expen-
sive coach work. The new all season Lex
Sedan is of the four door type, with high
sides. There are six side windows OF
equal size and square cornered. following
the prevailing mode. The glass in these
windows may be lowered or raised to meet
all weather conditions.
The "Lex-Sedan" is mounted on Lex
which in the minds of experts marks a
new era in chassis construction. This
chassis, embodying in Lexington models
not only the latest standard practices in
chassis construction, but many exclusive
features not found in even the highest
priced cars, makes the Lex-Sedan a cal
OF large appeal to all motorists.
The furnishings and color combinations
of the Lex-Sedan are as harmonious and
as distinctive as the car itself
In the summer season, the glass side
panels and framework may be entirely re.
moved. Jiffy curtains for protection
against the weather in summer are pro.
vided In a locker in the ceiling.
The Lex-Sedan seats five persons com
fortably. The little refining touches thai
mean much to tho motorist. such as q
dome ceiling light, n silk roller curtain
for the rear window, rain vision wind.
shield. massive coach handles, have no'
been overlooked in this splendid model.
Another feature of the Lexington Minute
ManSix- exhibit is that snappy. distinc
tive sport model, "The Thorobred." This
model has a touch of the unconventional
but retains that dignity which appeals tc
the discriminating motorist. The mode
is set lower and has those rakish lines
that bespeak the true sport model.
"The Tnorobred" Is narrower than the
regular touring car, yet it has almost
equal width in the rear. The car will sea,
four passengers with extreme comfort
1t, too, is mounted on the Lexington
Thoroughbred Chassis"

Nv. Ledyard Mitchell, President of
Maxwell Company, Calls Attention
to Foreigners After Our Cars.
BY w. LEDYARD MITCHELL,
President Maxwell Motor Company.

The arrow pointing the way to export
sales follows the sun. The selling season" !"
30 called In the export market covers a
period of twelve months. varying in To-
caIities with the varying seasons. The
American motor industry, therefore, finds
itself face to face with stable and en-
tirely new field possessed of enormous
possibilities. prepared to absorb and pay
cash for large part OF its annual pro-
duction.
The foreign market is practically a new
one for a great number of American manu-
facturers. Although American cars have
always been sold in moderate numbers In
these markets, the present opportunity
comes not only in Europe but in the South
and Central Americas and the Orient, on
account of the inability of the European
manufacturer to supply the demand in
these markets. Australia and New Zealand
have always been large consumers of
American cars, and If the American manu-
facturers are able to furnish a sufficient
number of cars during the coming year to
supply these new markets which have
opened up so Unexpectedly they VIII
establish themselves in the foreign field
in a manner which will place them in a
most enviable position with a very
minimum cost for this development
In meeting competition in world trade
the American manufacturer is developing
a highly specialized class Of statesmen.
known as foreign travellers" which class
was practically unknown to the American
motor industry prior to the war. A new
field Of advertising is being entered into
in which American methods will have to
be modified to meet the temperamcnts and
customs of the >territory in which the ad-
vertising is placed. The foreign advertis-
ing field is not nearly so highly developed
as in America. In South America, for
example, the greatest advertising medium
has circulation of only $4,000.
Each country has it's own peculiar char
acteristics which have to be given a great
deal Of study from this standpoint of sales
demands which will affect the companies
foreign manufacturing and sales require
ments. To become familiar with the
needs Of the countries in which American
cars are to be marketed men must be sent
out who are capable of making an inti-
mate study of these special conditions In
every field and to supply car which will
meet these particular local requirements.
The American manufacturer finds him

but this is due in large measure to the
fact that the South absorbs large part
of winter shipments owing 20 their early
season so that shipments during the last
six months period, no doubt equalize
this situation to a large extent. In this
connection, the South is becoming more

fronting the automobile manufacturer at
this time is the equitable distribution of
his production between his domestic deal
ers on the one hand and his foreisn deal
ers on the other, particularly when the
foreign dealers, with cash in hand, storm
the sales offices demanding cars far in
excess of his manufacturing facilities. In
order to maintain an equitable distribu-
tion of the manufacturers production it
will be necessary For the domestic dealer
to supply himself during the winter
months with stock of cars which will
make it possible for him to supply his
spring demand. at which time It will be
impossible for the manufacturer to supply
both the domestic and foreign demands
unless reserve supply has been accumu-
lated by the domestic dealer.
