If you doubt, look at the way it is winning buyers. \ Men who formerly drove only costly cars are turning to Saxon "Six." They know it is a car of fine quality. They know that $200 or $300 more cannot buy a better car. the1 past to cars of lesser price are likewise coming to Saxon "Six." It has been proved to them that the true economy is to pay the difference and get a real motor car such as Saxon "Six." Men who have hitherto been loyal to the "four" are now buying Saxon "Six." They wanted greater smooth ness, greater flexibility, greater endurance, greater roadabi??ty. And they find these in full measure in Saxon "Six." Men who limited themselves" in Saxon "Six" will give you FOR SALE BY really unusual service. It will perform better, perform longer and cost you less for upkeep than any other car in its class. Come in at once and place your order for Saxon "Six" at $935. This price is based on cost of material bought quite some time back.
