Your weight will start it moving, and

have seen last year had the public
been more nearly sold on the auto

cars. When the trade Is looking for

that the type of person who knows
nothing about a car. or who never

Motorists now in the market are

1t was at once apparent from the
national exhibits in New York and
Chicago that the balance of interest
and business is going to go TO those
manufacturers who can offer each
one of these inducements, the three
being carefully blended.
The hope of initiating Ford's sue
cess with a cheap car is a manufac-
turing delusion. First owners In
America are on the decrease. A man
, wants better car for his repeat
order. The only reason motorists
don't use better cars for rough work
is because, to date, better cars have
usually included luxuries which they
did not want. Better cars may now
be had in working clothes.
There is no reason why the num-
Der of makes should be reduced to
ten or fifteen quantity producers as
predicted. Some people are individ-

But our aim in designing and building
the Marnon has been to give the Mar

could possibly expect from any motor car.
Thousands Of particular people, who

wonderful Marmon chassis continues to

While we can cite you the experiences
OF many owners who have driven their
Marmon cars more than 100000 miles at
surprisingly low cost it would be fool

same then as when new.
Although the Marnon car costs only
S2785 and will perhaps give you more, or
at least as much, mileage on tires, oil, and
gasoline as any of the admittedly fine
cars. we do not urge any man who has to
count nickels to buy it.

The present Marrnon has been nine
years in evolution. The chassis has never
been changed in any fundamental, but it
has been refined and strengthened from
year to year.
The Marmon car is built on what un-
prejudiced engineers acknowledge to be
the best engineered chassis in the world.
We give you four-wheel brakes (prob.
ably the best and simplest ever designed)
it you want them: but the dependable
Marmon two-wheel brakes will give YOU
perfectly satisfactory automobile.
You will find that your Marmon takes
its work more lightly than other cars, and
that you hold surer and safer control of

connection with past cars. It FEELS
safe-and it IS safe.

BALANCE have to be experienced first

We do not believe there is any expert
enced motorist with $2785 to invest in a
motor car who can drive a Marmon 100
miles or more without buying it.
If you are considering new car per-
haps it would be good idea to acouaint
