GRAYSON Collision-Proof Running Board Comparison of the built-in steel running boards or “side bumpers™ of the Marmon with the wood construction of ordinary cars is an impressive proof of Marmon superior safety. The deep box-like construction of the frame as a whole conveys the immediate impression of mas sive strength. The side members are of unusual depth, actually measuring ten inches. The pressed steel running board forms an integral structural part of the frame. Here, in a single stroke. we see the elimination of the wood running board, the step brackets and the dust aprons of the conventional chassis. Tn place of these unnecessary burdens, a substantial addition to the scheme of strength is substituted. Priceless Protection Undoubtedly the greatest distinction that can ever come to any motor car is to have saved the lives of its passengers. To Marmon this distinction has been accorded by its owners many, many times—each new experience adding to the undisputed reputation of Marmon as the “safest car in the world.” MARMON 1S TO AUTOMOBILE RIDERS WHAT THE STEEL PULLMAN IS TORAILROAD PASSENGERS HOLLAND MOTOR ‘COMPANY _A.C.
