that only q good car could take

Few Qualified Experts.
one OF the early discoveries OF
the Investigation was the discioe
sure that the experience OF most
car owners is so very limited that
few are qualified to pass judg-

the people who own cars today

Some Real Good Cars.

lions Of car owners realize how
far short OF the latest standards
their cars really are, how much
they are sacrificing by being mis-
informed and how much damage
they are doing by encouraging new.
Corners in the motor ranks to avoid
the real facts?
1t is well for any motorist to
know that right now there are sew
eral moderate priced cars that will
travel seventy miles an hour, fifty
with ease.
There are about thirty makes OF
passenger cars that hardly can be
made to skid, regardless Of the
suddenness OF the stop.
There are powerful skies that
will do over fifteen miles to q
gallon Of gas. There are long
wheelbase cars that park easier
than short cars of q few years
back.
There are two cars that will run,
safely, $500 miles on single
filling Of oil. There are cars that
will start easily in. any kind of
weather. You can ride fast over
the toughest roads in many new
cars without leaving your seat.
Can your car do any of these
things? II not, it may be foolish
to keep thinking that it is a

he find It.

Much OF the sentimental valua-

suit OF necessity. Owners knew
that their cars were not up to the

to cover up their failure as buyers

The idea was to determine. II pos

The car started with difficulty.
It would not run evenly in high

The brakes did not bring il to Il

car drove like q wagon. At thirty

Ter aid. BUT swhen the owner ex-
planned the situation in more detail
the following facts came to light:
He never took the car out until
late in the afternoon and then only
on sunny days in warm weather.
That accounted for his satisfac-
ton with tho way the car started
and his failure 20 learn that the car
was really a hard-starting machine
under normal conditions.
He did not know OF the refusal
Of the motor to run evenly at ten
miles an hour, or less, because he
was under the impression that all
drivers dropped into second when
going so slowly.
The Jerking at fifteen miles an
hour he overcame by slipping the
clutch, process which he thought
was customary and which he did
not know would eventually cost
him money because he hadn' t driven
far enough.
He did not know Of tho ineffi.
cheney OF the brakes because he did
not drive in traffic to any extent
and was usually in second gear
when he did.
The only reason the car steered
easily was because he carried an
excess amount of air in the front

hard riding over rough roads. OF
