Il am more than pleased with
the new 1925 Davis models" says
Mr.. Hendrick. THE Davis Com
pany has always borne q high
reputation in the moderate priced
field for producing cars Of indi-
viduality and distinction, and for
keeping abreast Of progress in the
mechanical development Of their
cars. But notwithstanding my init
mate knowledge Of the Davis the
new 1925 models have surpassed
my expectations, and believe that
they will prove extremely popular
among people who wish a depend
able moderate priced car Of un-
questioned individuality.
