THE 1929 A.J.S. T.T. MODEL.
Years of careful thought combined with a long experience ́have characterized the production of A.J.S. Motor cycles which to-day are recognized as the leading machines for efficiency, appearance and true value.
Here no mass production methods are employed. Individual care and attention must be given to every part and each assembly less that standard of A.J.S. efficiency, recognized the world over, should in any way suffer or the reputation of these famous machines lose its high esteem.
The best quality of materials and workmanship cannot be pur- chased cheaply but, those who are farsighted will gladly pay a little more knowing that in their purchase of an "A.J.S.” they have secured the best.
