THE beauty of the Paige Sedan
represents the finest expression
of the coachmakerVart. There are
no more beautiful motor carriages
today than those bearing the Paige
nan\eplate.
And the Paige Se^n. is a car of
practical utility as well as refinement.
It is' the ideal ffiotor vehicle for
comfortable service in any season
and in any weather.
In summer/ with lowered windows,
it possesses coolness in the same
degree as open cars. And, during
inclement seasons, it provides ade
quate protection agaupt rain, cold
and dampness.
The Pai|5e Sedan on the Six
Chassis is powered with our own
new six cylinder motor? developed
by Pake engineers and built in Paige
shopSDy Paige mechanics*
