Carty, 1605 14th St Owl Gara; The Rochester- Duesenberg Motor HE Rochester - Duesenberg motor used in the record-break- ing Roamer speed test is the latest refinement of a motor pro- duced for over seven years. This Rochester-Duesenberg motor is a powerful, depend- y able and efficient engine of a design radically different from the ordi- nary type of automobile motor. It is manufactured by the ROCH- ESTER MOTORS CORPORA- TION, an organization famed for precision of workmanship for two decades, and who have brought it to its present state of tremendous power and silent operation, and remarkable fuel and oil economy. It incorporates the well - known horizontal rocker arm valve action characteristic of all Duesenberg type engines, and develops close 085 horsepower, its surplus power enabling road speeds far in excess of the ordinary motor. In addi- tion, its quick, snappy pick-up makes it a delight to operate in From the Louisville Conrier-Journal. in front of your |stors ! same —The time when the battery “Just wears out.” GOOD battery, no matter what its make, diesanatural death when it “‘just wearsout.” 1t may never have a buckled plate or worn out separators or cracked jars.

Chassis used was a Roamer Standard Speedster model (Model F-85) which was officially checked by the technical committee of American Automobile Association. ‘The Roamer has long been rightfully termed “‘America’s Smartest Car.” After this sweep- ing victory at Daytona, Roamer unquestion- ably assumes pre-eminence as America’s fastest car. Roamer cars are built to maintain higher road speeds with safety than any other make. The long wheelbase and low body, the Roamer double cantilever spring suspension, the un- usual strength in frame, axles and steering arms, together with extra large brake drums, gasoline tank and cooling system, are all factors contributing to the speed, stamina and comfortable touring qualities which appeal so greatly to the motorist. Ask your dealer for a demonstration of a Roamer and see how it holds the road at high speed. Observe the absence of side sway, skidding and rebound. This same record- breaking chassis is also to be had in the Roamer 4-passenger sport model.
