EV roomy comfort for their average number of passengers—a size car that lightens the driver’s task in traffic—a car of such construction that repair bills are rare—a car whose power glves it satisfying performance—a car that leaves you money in the bank when you buy it—and a six, for sixes do beat fours! See the first illustration on the left. It shows Jewett’s roomy comfort, whatever body type you choose. Few cars—and those of far higher prices—have more body room. The second pic- tureillustrates how ably the New Jewett manipulates in traffic. Turn around in a 42-foot street. Park Jewett in a 16!4 foot space at the curb. Jewett mlly enters your garage from a 14-foot alley or driveway. Larger cars force you to back in turning around, keep you away from many a choice parking place, and require a larger garage and more drlveway. THE New Jewett Six is the final type of car for the average motorist. Most people want Paige-Type Fine Car Construction Throughout Look at Jewett’s sturdy construction. It has a 6-inch deep frame, extra cross-braced and’ weighing 184 lbs.—a superb foundation for a long lived car. Paige-Timken axles front and rear. All-steel universal joints, with sealed-in lubrication good for 15,000 miles! See Jewett’s motor. You are amazed when you lift the hood. Expecting the ordinary size motor, squat and low, you see that Jewett’s motor nearly fills the hood. Tremendous energy, full 50 horsecower. High-pressure oiling like the Paige and other highest quality cars. But the New Jewett’s performance gives all owners their greatest thrill. Jewett passes most any car on any hill. Like the strong man in the picture, Jewett’s powerful motor easily handles the sturdy 2805-1b. Jewett. Try Jewett on a hill, and get the thrill of your life. In getaway, too, Jewett’s 50 horsepower motor is like the big horse which trots away with a load that the small horse can drag but slowly. Try it when the}officer blows his whistle; you’ll marvel! And . when chance offers, on a crowded road, you can dash ahead because Jewett does it in a flash. A Car that Women Drive «with Confidence All women like Jewett Six because ““it just seems to drive itself.”’ Due to ball-bearing steer- ing apmdles, Jewett steers with finger-touch guidance. Steering stays easy because these steering knuckles do not wear. Test Jewett’s clutch pedal with your hand to know its gentle- ness. Then while driving let it in quickly to prove its smoothness. Gear changing—rarely * needed for Jewett will do 2 to 60 miles an hour or more, in high—calls for an effortless move- ment. Drop from high to second at 30 miles per hour. - The New Jewett Six is designed to be superb mechanically forjust such thrilling performance, and to assure long life. It comes to you with roomy bodies of substantial construction but without frills, to make low price possible. Then, too, there are the De Luxe Tourlng Car, Roadster, and Sedan, for those who want the last word in fashionable color, equipment, up- holstery and fittings. Jewett is unique! No other car even approaches Jewett’s combination of roominess, con- venience, comfort, sturdiness, power, performance and price. In all the world no car like this! Compare it, as below. Never before was there a car whose maker could show so much more for the money than cars immediately below it in price, and so much of the’ qualities of higher _ priced cars. How Jewett Six Outclasses “Light” Sixes Jewettis a sturdy six—not a*‘light” six. A high-pow- ered car built to handle its power safely and delight- fully. Compare Jewett with “light” sixes as below. ‘Weight tells sturdiness. Jewett weighs 2805 Ibs. Certain “light” sixes weigh 2300 1bs.—2420 1bs.—2650 1bs.—2545 lbs. To any man of even slight acquain- ‘superior sturdiness and long life is needed. Power is the most expensive thing to build into a car—one of the most important measures of what you get for your money. The word “horsepower” is not a reliable guide. Cubic inches of piston displace- ment indicate horsepower. Jewett has 249 cubic inches. Those same light sixes have 169—171—207 . —177—from 20% to 40% less than Jewett! Power compared to weight governs performance in hill climbing and get-away. Engineers state it as the namber of pounds weight to each cubic inch of piston displacemenit. Thus the fewer the pounds per ulbwmch,themore spirited the performance. Jewett, in spite of its husky construction, has but 11 Ibs. weight per cubic inch. These same “light” sixes - respectively have 13.5—13.7—12.8—14.3—not one yousee, but will be sluggish compared with Jewett. * tance with machinery, no further evidence of Jewett’s | How Jewett Six Compares with Costlier Cars Perhaps you wouldn’t think of Jewett as having more power than costlierand larger 5-passengercars. Here are the prices of 11 well known sixes whose motors are smaller than Jewett's—$1535—§1790— $1185 —$1650—$1675—$1795 —$1495—$1335—$1485 $1295—$1590. And these cars havefrom 5 to 11 inches more car to pull around, to maneuver in traffic. They cost up to $700 more, yet they cannot equal Jewett’s power. To get a car the equal of Jewett’s power for weight, a man has but two choices—one car which costs $420 more, and another which costs $685 more than Jewett . —those choices or cars. Noothersix under 119inches wheelbase weighs as much as Jewett. Think what that means in Jewett’s ~ extra life and road ability and freedom ‘rom repair, compared with cars for which you are asked more. Now consider Jewett's combined mechanical qualities. To buy a car which gives you the equal of Jewett's weight for length—the equal of Jewett’s 249 cubic inch motor—and the equal of Jewett’s pawer for weight, all the world offers you but four choices— 2 Paige—acarat $1750—acar at $5000—a car at $7000. And remember Jewett’s price is but $1065! ‘WASHINGTON-VIRGINIA MOTORS, Inc. 16th and You Streets DEALERS F mrfax Service Station .Alexandria, Va. Rickett’s Garage - Rockville, Md.
