NEW DORT SIX IS
EXHIBITED HERE
More Powerful Engine Gives
All Models Exceptional Speed
and Pulling Power.

The bort Motor Car Company is out
with a complete line of six cylinder cars.
During this week these cars will be
specially shown at the bort headquar-
ters, 1872 Broadway. where Frank c.
Mattern, the local distributor. has ar
ranged a most attractive display for
both prospective owners and dealers
Special attention is called to the new
cars operating economy and ready re-
sponse to demands for power and speed.
President j. ID. bort Will visit the
New York showroom on Thursday.
AS result of eighteen months of ex-
haustive tests under a great variety of
conditions, the bort Motor Car Com
pany had advised distributors that the
new bort Six, by virtue of its advanced
motor design, will maintain in high gear
the remarkably wide speed range from
two to sixty miles an hour; will accel-
crate on level highway from five to
twenty-five miles an hour in nine sec
onds and will cover twenty-four miles
on one gallon of gasoline.
bort engineers attribute this unusual
economy and performance to several
outstanding new features of the Six
10 horse power motor. Important among
these contributions to power and con-
servation are:

all the customary parts. but also to

vibration at all speeds.
4-Valves of Silcrome steel which will
not warp and allow waste of energy.
5-A new intake manifold which in
sures pulling power at low speed in sand
