Recently the Velie celebrated Its en-
trance on its twelfth year or automo-
bile building. Every one OF those years
is a notable chapter In the progress OF
motordom. but no other year has been
SO crowded with successes as that when

has gained an unprecedented vogue. This
styie was introduced In the five passen-
ger touring model. Its development In
the six passenger four door sedan. the
seven passenger touring model and the
long. racy speedster has accentuated It's
attractiveness.
The seven passenger Model 48 makes
its bow to the public at this show. Its

Motorists will be even more insistent
this year on economy of operation and
upkeep. Economy begins with the motor.
In both series of the Velie the motors
are bringing new low figures on miles
per gallon. They have demonstrated
marked success on low grade fuel The
results are attributable to the great
advances made by motoring science in
its concentration on the six In the last
few years. 1t is now conceded by many
engineers that the six cylinder engine is
the most practicable basis for realizing
all the ideals In the passenger car

by any car. 1t won the Dyas gold tro-

London that Velie won a gold medal

The Velle organization was one of the
leaders in the price movement in the au-
tomobiie field. AS early as September,
1920. new low prices were announced
and bond was issued by the Velie Mo-
tors Corporation protecting purchasers
OF Vele cars against loss by further re-
duction from present prices until July l.
1921. This bond goes to every original
purchaser of present Velie model buy
ing the car since the present prices went
into effect. II provides that in case there
should be a further decline in prices be-
fore July the Velie Motors Corporation
will rebate the difference to the pur-
chaser in cash. 1t specifies that the
bond shall not be construed as a pro-
lection against an increase OF price.
