SEDAN SUCCESS
REASONS REVEALED
Professional Men Especially
Like All Weather
Vehicles.

There are two reasons for the sue
cess the Enclosed car has achieved.
The first was a demand based on
actual need. When people became
accustomed to what motor transpor .
tation would actually do for them
they wanted those benefits all year
round and in any weather. They
wanted comfort in travel to equal
convenience.
Today closed cars arc popular
among all users Of motor transIorta-
ton. Doctors especially, among pro-
fessional people, appreciate tho ad-
vantages OF the Enclosed vehicle
Business men and others who depend
upon the automobile for communication
into town depend upon them all through
the year.
This increasingly extensive use OF
the sedan and coupe types 10 also due
largely to feminine influence. The
added refnment and convenience
usually included in this type of car ap-
peal especially to feminine taste. And
women who drive their own cars have
demonstrated that these models are
az practical as they are attractive.
With either of these two styles the
woman who has many interests out
side her home is able to increase the
field Of her activities. They conserve
her mental and physical energy and
help her to accomplish more without
sacrificing domestic responsibilities.
For the same reasons closed cars do
away with the most unpleasant phase
of shopping-the getting to stores
and back-especially in Indictment
weather.
The sedan and coupe have proven
particularly adaptable for feminine
requirements in driving comfort as
we'll as practical convenience. BY
eliminating all the dIsagreeable eff
fects of travel and supply every re-
finement opssible in a personal equi-
page. they satisfy the ideals OF fem
mime taste. They make woman in
dependent Of every other means of
conveyance And their permanent
protection enables her to enjoy all the
benefits of individual transportation
on all occasions and in any weather
or climate.
Older women particularly appre-
ciate the comforts of closed cars. and
they are the ideal means of taking
the children to school and on their
daily outings. They enable woman
friends more often, to keep in more
her.
Open cars have now been in general
use for quarter OF a century. That,
seems very short time when the
progress made by the automobile is
compared with that of other finished
products. But II has been long
enough for the present high standard
of open car design to have been
reached gradually.
The wide popularity OF the enclosed
car, however, is a matter of only the
last few yeara When we consider
the perfection of the closed car of to-
day and tho character of the en-
cheering work IL represents and the
Importance of its service we may re-
gard 1t as one of the great achieve
ments of the automotive industry.

Color Signals Adopted.

Two hundred American cities and
towns have adopted q system Of color
signals for the control of motor
traffic on national and State high
ways. similar to the standardized
use Of red. yellow and green in, rail-
road systems. The red sign indicates
nrst degree danger. such as railroad
crossings, dead ends of roads, or lift
bridges yellow indicated second de-
gree danger At curves or grades and
groen shows moving or traffic dan
scr only to be used at road intersec-
items.
