Triumph!

HE enthusiastic reception accorded. the Erskine Six in Paris and London was repeated at the New York Auto- mobile Show. Everywhere that it has been shown, the success of this little aristocrac of motordom has been instantaneous. The Erskine Six is an American fine car of entirely new type-sponsored by Stude baker.

*

The Erskine Sedan was designed by one of the world's foremost special-built coach designers-Dietrich. Its flect, buoyant

lines reflect the smartness and luxury of appointment of the truly sne car. And it not only costs less to buy, but less to maintain, as well-tests show 30 to 35 miles per imperial gallon of petrol-1000 miles per gallon of oil! You have never driven a car that handles so easily-posi tive four-wheel brakes and full-vision steel body. It steers as easy as a bicycle. See this evolutionary, new-type car. It will change your ideals of motor car perform- ance, for it is new-advanced-origual.
