But you’re not conscious of their rough- ness when you drive or ride in the New Paige or the New Jewett. Step right along. Never mind those bumps. They won’t bump you. All you feel is a slow, gentle motion as you cross them. The reason for this restful new riding comfort? Easily understood. First—bal- loon tires. But that alone isn’t enough. Paige-Jewett engineers have designed a brand new type of spring suspension to get the full benefit of balloon tires. Next—springs are unusually long— Paige’s more than five feet long—Jew- ett’s nearly half its wheelbase! And husky weight—to hold the road. That's the answer. Both Paijge and Jewett are built low for comfort—yet road clearance has not been sacrificed. It is still nine and a half inches. Compare that with other cars. And there’s nothing but pleasure in the driver’s seat of a New Paige or Jewett. You'll hate to give up the wheel. Even with the added road friction of balloon tires you steer with effortless, touch-control—never a hint of exertion. Special gearing and ball-bearing steer- ing spindles account for that. Rarely do you find the need for shift- ing gears—for Paige and Jewett go always in high—smoothly—without labor. But when you do need second— shifting is a simple, effortless move- ment. No clash—no grind—just velvet smoothness in the Paige-Jewett clutch and transmission. And there’s giant strength in these two cars—to carry you through years of strenuous use—with little need for service. There's beauty—to make you proud in the ownership of such cars— beauty that finds its companions in the costly, custom-built cars. And such limitless power! From big, superbly balanced, moderate-speed six- cylinder motors that are never even taxed—so they last longer. Search the entire field of motor cars today. Then take the wheel of a New Paige ora New Jewett. These marvelous cars will tell their own- story of superb comfort—matchless power—han- dling ease. Call or telephone us today.
