NEW PEERLESS |S REMARKABLE r | R |TS PERT F0RMANCE
Dual Capacity For Hill Climb ing and Speed Is
 Unusual

One of the many remarkable fea- is becoming famous the country hill climbing and high speed
 Ordinarily. the car which Is gear ed sufficiently low to insure great hill climbing ability is not capa ble of much speed. Therefore, it is not satisfactory car for the open road or for touring, when one often needs high sustained speed Then too, the engine in this type of car revolves too rapidly at any given car speed, resulting in excessive wear and poor economy.
 On the other hand. the car which is geared up for great speed, is al most always a poor will climber This type of car is commonly called a lazy" car. It is sluggish In traf- fife and gains speed slowly. It is the most unsatisfactory of the two types as 1t necessitates much gear shift ing.
 Never before have the two ex- tremes of power and speed combined in such generous measure as in the new Peerless. This great eight cylinder car seems to float LID the steepest hills with little effort, and 1t is capable of sustained speed of from 75 to so miles per hour when called upon.
 It is safe to say that this deslr- able combination of power and speed IS one of the reasons for the in- creasins popularity of the new Peer less among fine car owners who de- sire car distinctly different and better.

[ ASE IF RIDING IN JORDAN [ \ R { ] U [ n SPRINGS
Chief Cause Found In Kind Of Material Used In Con-
 StruCtiOn

"One of the chief causes for the case of riding found in the Jordan car, lies in the kind of material from which the springs are con structed," remarked Bill" Pape, the other day. Bill is sales manager at Mccormack Brothers, and knows what he talks about when 1t comes to motor cars.
 Most cars have carbon steel springs under them" continued Bill, while some have springs in which the main leaf Is vanadium steel and the balance of the spring carbon steel. The Jordan spring Is made entirely from vanadfum steel, and so far as I have been able to learn, 1t Is the only car so equipped, ex- eepting the very high priced cars.
 The vanadium steel spring has many advantages over any other type. It Is more resilient. less like ly to break or flatten out, and al most invariably lasts IS long as the car itself. The vanadium spring costs more, of course, but it is we'll worth the difference, and the best is none too good for the Jordan.
 Many people think the Jordan is so easy riding because of it's almost perfect balance, and of course this is a worth while factor. But the real reason for the Jordan's good behavior on rough roads lies in the springs-they are a real luxury in motor car"
