These facts-

may provent you from purchasing a motor car of obsolete design

The Whippet has the specifications of a large car-modified to meet the require- inents of buyers who want style and performance at a reasonable cost. Compare these and other facts about the Whippet before buying any low priced car Smart Bodies-sturdily built-beautifully finished-more interior space than most High cars.

4-Wheel Brakes-fully enclosed-mechanically controlled.

55 miles an hour and more-quiehuset retion--wonderful top gear performance. Super-efficient engine, rated at 15.9 H. P., but developing 31 H. P. Smooth, quiet flow of power-low tax rate.

35 aides per imperial gallon of petrol-low gravity centre-greater driving safety-pmple clearance.

Turns in 34 foot circle-only 14 feet curb space for parking.

Irreversible type of steering-no beck lash-adjustable steering wheel position, Large Balloon Tyres-water pump-fall oil pump system. Utmost quality-built to last for years.

An up-to-date design means efficiency-Smaller motoring bills-Higher resale value-All around satisfaction.

We are proud of the Whippet and will be delighted to demonstrate it
