Tax Extre BUILT Most Power for Weight —Most Weight for Size Hence New Jewett’s Spirited Performance—Enduring Smoothness—Superb Comfort ROM $900 to $1100 there are many six- cylinder cars. In weight they range from 2440 Ibs. to 2805 lbs. In power they range from 177 cubic inches piston displacement to 249 cubic inches. One fact stands out—the lower priced cars offer less power and less weight. They save you a little in first cost, but they withhold much of great value. Weight means sturdiness of construction. ‘Without weight, sturdiness cannot exist. Jewett weighs from 200 to 400 pounds more than other cars its size. Of course we would save this weight if we could—and sell Jewett cheaper. But Jewett touring car is made toweigh 2805 pounds,and the sedan in proportion. Onlyin this weight can we produce the sturdiness Paige engineers demand. For example—Jewett has a strongly built motor; a 6-inch-deep frame; all-steel universal joints; Paige-Timken axles front and rear; Paige-type clutch and transmission; strong, stur- dy wheels; sound bodies—giving a toughness throughout that comes only from weight enough to be strong. In power too, Jewett is a different car from those in its price-class or size-class. Its motor, with cylinders 3% x 5 inches, measures 249 cubic inches piston displacement. This is 20% more than any car of Jewett’s size—40% more than some. So Jewett has 20% more power than any car of its size or price—because power, you know, comes from piston displacement. And so great is Jewett's power that, in spite of Jewett’s sturdiness, Jewett still has most power for its weight. Jewett weighs 11.4 pounds for each cubic inch piston displacement. Other cars in its class show 12 to 14 pounds. Think what superb performance Jewett must have! With the weight to ride comfortably over all roads and endure the roughest use, Jewett has also the power to pass most any car on any hill —to beat most any car in the traffic get-away. Jewett accelerates from 5 to 25 miles an hour in 7 seconds in high gear. Try that with any other car—and realize Jewett’s superiority! Thus in the New Jewett—at a few dollars more than “light” sixes cost— you have a stur- dily constructed six that will last for years. Also, you have power to out-perform nearly every car you meet. You can prove this for yourself when you have your demonstration. We invite you to drive the New Jewett, yourself. Come in or tele- phone, any time.
