in a recent article by William Uslman

Thinking ahead in car buying has

the length of the car. but nowadays
some Of the extremely short cars have
excellent riding qualities. and the ten

SPEED IN DEMAND.

"The predictions are that speed,
more than pulling power. will be the
prime demand upon the motors with
in n short time.
"Here the motorist turns to road
building for an answer to his query.
He finds that concrete roads are not
merely making higher speeds relatively
safe, but that they are also eliminat-
ing steep grades and treacherous turns.
If the motorist is looking ahead he
cannot afford TO buy car just be-
cause it walks IN a hill in high gear
or blows off his hat when the demon
strator steps on the gas for a brief in
teryal.
"The buyer wants a motor that will
sustain speed, and sustain it without
vibration.
