PAGE FOUR STUTZ CLAMS. HIDDEN VALUE Examination of Vital Fundamental Parts Is Invited. One of the pertinent factors In the rapid increase in the sale of Stutz cars during past months is the apparent tendency of the motoring public to pay greater attention to the “hidden value” of automobiles. This {s borne out in reports reach- ing the sales department of the Stutz Motor Car company of Amer- fea, Inc., from distributors and field representatives. “Beauty of line, refinement of de- taf! and other exterior features, of course always will have a bearing on sales, and the Stutz six invariably wins enthusiastic comment for {ts evident supertority {n such mat- ters,” states one prominent distribu- tor. “But it is in the examination of the ‘hidden value’ of the car— those vital, fundamental parts that determine to a great extent the Mfe, durability and strength of any car—where the Stutz six scores the heaviest. “A careful analysis of the Stutz six.chassis on the part of the Prospective purchaser reveals a basic strength and ruggedness that are comparable only to the con- struction of stout stee! bridges built! to withstand the year ‘round stresses | of the heaviest traffic. “To begin with, the prospect seldom if ever sees a car with a 1204nch wheelbase and listing for lens than $2,000 that has a 7-inch frame such as that used in the Stutz six. Not only are the side- raif of unusual depth and thick- ness, but the eight sturdy cross- members hold the frame rigid and absolutely prevent the weaving and twisting that quickly brings harm- ful results to the entire car. “The thickness of the steel used The City of Rockland on a, reef off Dix went asround during-a recent fos. In the side members of the frame also draws the approval of the buy ef, especially when it is pointed out that this very thickness eliminates the necessity. of eny reinforcing plates at tho rivetrg points, while all brackets and fittings in their atachment to the frame are spread out over enough area to prevent localized stresses. “The inherent strength of the powerful axles of the Stutz six, at least 25 per cent over-size, and the extra large brakes, 1514 inches in diameter, never fail to make a deep impression on the prospect. “Motor car buyers nowadays, es- pecially women, pay particular at- tention to the riding comfort of a ear. When we point out to them that the Stutz six has a spring base of 100 inches, equal to 83 1-3 per cent of the total wheel base of the car, they are more than satis fied on that point. Then, too, we find they evince a great deal of interest in the famous goose-neck rear spring hanger which cradles the rest of the chassis between the springs and prevents all side-sway at any driving speed as well as in turning corners. “It is the experienced motorist perhaps, who registers the keenest approval over the Stuta method of suspending the body away from the frame by means of 10 staring, in- dividui bravkets—5 on each sid All of the 200 passengers were ALCOVA PRAISE SUNG | IN OLD NEWSPAPER: “Mother nature has endowed Al- cova with a beautiful and {deal val- ley to rest in, encircling it with rock-ribbed hills that were upheaved by some volcanic action ages ago.” ‘This is the first paragraph of the pat ashes eel rh ta a) securely riveted to the frame mem- bers on the outside, “At all points of support the body is carried on fabric-faced cord com- position pads that afford the necos- sary resilency and prevent the de- velopment of body squeaks, “The efficiency of the Stutz six motor, its abudance of power, its economical gasoline consumption its instantaneous pick-up, of course, are proved convincingly by actual demonstration, “It 1s interesting to note, how- ever, as I have already pointed out, that buyers are looking closer than ever at the fundamental values of the cars they are considering, and it is to that tendency I attribute our remarkable sales success with the Stutz at Tsland, Maine, 1s being slowly pounded to pieces by the sea.
