A CAR FÓR GENERAL SERVICE
Business as well as social needs were given careful consideration in designing and building the new Allen,
The result is a car that is ideal where maximum year-round service is demanded.
The chassis of the standard Allen 41, has been proven through use by thousands of owners. And comfort and convenience are present in big measure in this model. A rotary switch on steering column controls the entire electric system.
Fittings and body finish are of highest grads. The ner Allen is as attractive as it is,
Serviceable.
Many special features of this Car will interest you. Aşk for a copy of the Allen Car Book, or, better still, have us demonstrate.

The supply of Allen Cars is very limited. Orters must be placed prumptly if delivery is to be assured.
