NEW JEWETT MACHINES
AT THE CENTRAL GARAGE

Today will go down in automo-
bile history as the date on which a
new type of closed car body con-
struction was presented to the pub
lie, according to the Central garage,
225-227 New Brunswick
In the show room of the Paige
and Jewett dealer in Perth Amboy
is on exhibit the new brougham
added to the Jewett line this month
at a price almost hat of the tour
ing car.
1t is finished in baked enamel by
a new process providing a lasting
lustre' Yet for the first time in au-
tomobile history is the body built
on a hardwood frame.
Heretofore it has been a recog-
nized impossible feat to produce a
baked enamel finish on a body
framed in wood-the heat of 400
degrees Fahrenheit and more neces-
sary to give the lasting lustre would
melt the glue in the mortises or
would warp the best seasoned of
frames.
Most automobile bodies with a
k enamel finish are constructed
with steel frames, forcing the loss
of the fleXibleness found in wooden
framed closed bodies.
BY the new process used in the
manufacture of this new Jewett
body every panel is dipped and
baked indiv, 1ually before being at
tached to the frame. The wood
never experiences the enormous heat
necessary to bake the enamel prop
erly.
The all-steel panels which entirely
sheath the new Jewetr brougham
receive three coats of enamel, three
bakes and three polishes. They are
finished the same outside and In
side. If you were to rip off the up
holstering on the inside of the
brougham, the same high finish
would be found on the inside Of the
panels.
This type of construction not only
allows a high bake but also permits
certain radical changes to be made
in other construction methods I'M
ployed in building. quality closed
ear bodies. These are principally in
the door and window construction or
the new Jewett brougllam.
The doors on all quality auto
mobiles today have concealed stops
built-in at some extra expense. The
new Jewett brougham has a similar
concealed stop, doing away entirely
with the leather stop ~protruding in
side the body. The door opens to a
point where it forms a right angle
with the body and is automatically
checked, without the least strain on
the hinges by this new type of a
stop.
Another is the overcoming of the
possibility of a ruined body re-
sulting from a crash. The owner
need not worry if he finds his side
dented. The brougham can be taken

new panel substituted within a few
minutes. The Jewett is again its
normal self.
There is also the reinforcing of
each reinforcement used at every
joint. Not only is the quietness of
the wooden flexible frame found In
this high bake enamel finished
brougham but every squeak and
possible loose fitting is also elimi-
mated by extra reinforcing.
The reinforcing of reinforce
ments' lies in the method by which
the steel panels are fastened to the
frame. They hold the JOINTS In per
feet position. A bead running
around the BODY from left cow to
right cowl is bolted owe this rein
forcement in turn acting as a rein
forcement.
Inside the brougham is found the
same rich velour upholstering COW
ering Marshall type spring cushions
as is found in every quality closed
car.
The front seats are collapsible
and may be dropped out of the way
under the cowl. With both front
seats up, there is adequate space
for the three occupants of the rear
seat to stretch themselves comfort
ably.
A windshield wiper and trunk on
the real are a part of the equipment
of the new brougham. The hnish
is black enamel while h pead Is
trimmed in blue and gold. The nan
dies on the doors and windows are
finished in silver and MCKEE.
THE same assembled dash board,
thumb controls, extraordinarily
powerful motor and barrel a
lamps which characterize the pres
emit Jewett models are round IN the
