JEWETT SPECIAL

A Thrifty Six Built by Paige' ̈*

Always Ahead on the Hill

UST try a Jewett on a hill when other motor cars are going the same way and you will be proud of your Jewett. It has that surplus power in every emergency that it is called upon to perform. Just that extra precaution by the builders to insure extra strength for every demand.

The chassis, six inch "I" beam steel. The brakes, just a trifle larger than absolutely necessary but not too large for safety. The engine, with more power than is always required. The wrist pins, larger than others. The oiling system, a positive forced feed system so that it never fails to give a surplus of oil,

These generous principles of construction are for the motor car driver's 'need in case of emergencies, and pay large dividends to owners of Jewett cars by their increasing long service.
