YOU KNOW that the 15.30. p. Crossley is a high- grade product throughout, that it is unquestionably the finest value in its class, but do you realise the following:
J
It has a petrol consumption of at least 30 miles to the
gallon..
2.-It easily attains over 50 miles per hour.. 3.-It climbs ANY ordinary hill on top,
4. It does away with any necessity to buy a small under powered car. For the same price as you would pay for a light car, it gives you ample power, roominess and comfort with a remarkable road performance and the strictest economy...
