High ALLOW materials are used

than in many others selling at twice

Engine Develops 35 Horsepower
The L-head type engine is ex-

Transmission of its power to the rear
wheels with minimum loss has been
accomplished by hanging the engine
low in the frame to give straight line
drive to the driving mechanism.
The engine has Sts inch bore
