In fact, it was found thatoll in combination with dust and atmospheric actlon largely contributed to the film’s formation. Hence, COMMON SENSE AUTO POLISH, The Greasless Cleanser was developed; and perfected through prac- tical tests on thousands of motor cars throughout the country. Results obtained with COMMON SENSE AUTO POLISH prove it immeasureably superior for the pur pose intended; and explain why it monopolizes the sale of polish in every district where introduced.

Easily half the joy of Columbia ownership comes from the sense of confidence —of complete reliance — i the man or woman who drives one of these fine Sixes. The reason? Rt lies in the specialized construction of the Columbia Six. Every vital unit is a recognized standard of quality and value. Colum- bia's motor is a 50 H.P. “Red Seal” Continental, axles and bearings are Timkens, the transmission is a Durston, the clutch by Borg & Beck —and 8o on through a long list. You will not find another car today that combines such construction with prices so low—from the Touring at $985 to the Sedan at $1465. And on this famous specialized chassis Columbia has mounted bodies worthy of it—a fine Sedan and Coupe, bodies of steel, a roomy Phaeton, a dashing sport car in blue or maroon, the handsome Special Six and the sturdy Standard Touring. There is a beautiful Columbia for every purse and every purpose. Begin now to enjoy summer as you never have before. Come in and-let us show you how. MINKER MOTOR COMPANY C. W. Minker, Prop.
