ANOTHER TYPE OF "FAST" DRIVER.

JEWETT SPECIAL A Thrifty Six Built by Paiga

What Positive Lubrication Means IT required vast experience and foresight to build a motor car with the

positive lubrication of the Jewett. Here metal never rubs metal with- out a film of oil between the moving parts of the engine, forced through at a pressure of 20 to 40 pounds. The perfect lubrication system of the Jewett circulates two gallons of oil per minute through the entire internal mechanism Including all main and connecting bearings, which minimizes friction, giving smooth operation and longer life to the

motor car.

The Jewett lubricating system is an art that can be best appreciated by Jewett drivers.
