RUMBLE SEATS
HIGHLY POPULAR

Not in any decade has any equip
ment been added to the automobile
that has met with greater popular
approval than the rumble seat,
sometimes referred to as the "dickey
seat" on roadsters and coupes
Practically every car manufactured
has at least one model in this new
line equipped with it.
The demand became so great that
Rex Manufacturing Co., soon saw
the need of converting practically its
entire production to rumble seat

equipment for cars which are, not
being supplied by the original car
manufacturers.
The result is that today Rex oper-
ates a large rumble seat factory.
The installation of the Rex seat
does not detract from the symmetry
of the body lines, it is said. These
seats provide for the comfortable
accommodation of two more pas
sengers and are being supplied for
Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Star and
Essex cars.
Habig Manufacturing Company,
1885 N. Meridian ST., are exclusive
distributors for Rex rumble seats In
Indiana and Kentucky.
