will make for better womanhood and
will alaa five to the Girl Scout a sur

"Reports cerotng lata National Girl

an explanation of the three years
of experiment and testing behind
our new five-passenger. "Glen

St&Hi
A few months would have suf
ficed to produce the "average"
power plant and chassis?but
we have never been interested
in "average" achievements.
So we worked for three long years,
patiently meeting and solving
every problem that confronted us.
Then came the final tests?the
merciless trials of power, speed
and endurance?and the proud
realization that our car was indjMg|
the finest of all light sixes.
The rest of the story you probably
know, for the public has rendered
its verdict in no uncertain terms.

lenged as the greatest dollar-for
