66- FINE-CAR FEATURES

COMBINED ONLY IN MARQUETTE IN

THE $1000 CLASS

It's pretty hard to catalogue a car like the Marquelle-and give anything like a true idea of what you get in this car in the $1000 class. This new six is such a revolutionary value that you've actually got to see and drive it to realize what a great car it is!

Just as an indication of the value, rare value-In this splendid new six- here are a few of more than 66 fine-car features that it embodies-fca- tures combined for the first time on a car in the $1000 field.

Wheelbase 114 inches.

Closed Bodies by Fisher. Non-glare Fisher VV type ventilating windshield.

New type mohair upholstery. Spacious rear seat. Adjustable front seat.

Running board fully bound, with no exposed screws. Completely sealed engine, Forced lubrication. Lovejoy hydraulic shock ab- sorbers, both front and rear, Four-wheel internal-

Remarkable power plant-expanding brakes.

67.5 brake horsepower. Rubber engine mountings. Thermostatically-controlled water cooling.

OLD CEREMONIES.

Aided By Modern Transportation.

FOUR SPEEDS.

Reasons for Trend Given

by Engineer.

The four-speed internal-geared transmission has been with us now for over two years, and in the bands of many thousands of owner- drive all the world over but from the questions asked daily, it is levident that many engineers and still more, the general driving public, do not fully understand the

the advantages of

four' apced transmission.

Primarily, it makes usable and practicable a fast rear axle ratio. This is desirable because it slowa down engine and propeller shaft speeds, making for economy of gas and oil, greatly lessened vibration troubles, quiet running, longer life for the engine and all related mov- ing parts, better cooling, greater comfort for the occupants of the car, and particularly less fatigue and nervous strain for the driver on long trips.

The general effect in smoothness af operation and road performance may be determined by comparing two cars, one with four speeds, and the other with three. Consider a 4,000 pound three-speed car equip- ped by its manufacturer with a 4.8:1 axle and regarded as having that excellent performance with ratio.

At 65 miles (104.6 kilos.) per hour, the engine ic going 3,500 r.p.m., and is considerably past the peak of the horsepower curve. With a 3.59:1 ratio (as used with the four-speed transmission) the engine at 85 miles (104.6 kilos.) an hour is doing only 2,700 r.p.m., the peak of the horsepower has not been reached, and the torque curve has dropped only a little.

car

For hill climbing, heavy going in snow or sand, and for acceleration, the direct drive of three-speed transmission should be compared with the third of the four-speed transmission. The results in performance are astonishing ca- pecially after the cars have been in service a little while and have lost an appreciable measure of their

i. original ability.

Easy Shifting Procured. In order to get the most out of any transmission, but especially out of a four-speed transmission, the shift between the two top speeds should be very sure and easy. For years inventors have been try ing to find sn. easy shift, and while there has been in this direc-

THEN we tell people that we have WHEN We tent which will benefit

them, or, in other words, will add to their happiness, it is the most natural thing in the world for them to say, "very well, show us!"

That is because both the inherited experience of many generations and that acquired in their own life-time have taught them to beware the claims of sellers to be suspicious — lo require PROOF. The child of many disappointed generations, every one of which has time and again been stung, every man has firmly implanted in his He mind the necessity for PROOF. naturally assumes, when we claim to have the most cconomical and efficient lubricant, that we are going to PROVE our claim.

Men have found, too, that to get things that are aids to happiness, re- quires money, and for every bit of money in the world somebody, some- where, at some time, has worked, and

worked hard,*.rendering, in exchange, SERVICE to society and mankind.

For the SERVICE, men get what we call money. They are paid, as it were, in pieces of it, and these pieces, which are rather hard to get, may in their turn be exchanged for SERVICE which the holder wants from other people.

So when we tell people that Gargoyle Mobiloil is by far the most economical and efficient motorcar engine lubricant, and ask them to give us their money for it we naturally must PROVE that Gargoyle Mobiloll gives, in return, SERVICE to the extent paid for. If we didn't PROVE Gargoyle Mobilolil to be the most economical and efficient motorcar engine lubricant, the demand would not be as great as It Is, and the fact that the demand is daily increasing is suficient indication that Gargoyle Mobiloll is making good our claims.
