Open Evenings THINGS WORTH KNOWING WHEN YOU GO TO BUY YOUR NEXT AUTOMOBILE The public has heard a lot about the Straight- Eight . . . Every few months witnesses a new manufacturer entering the Straight-Eight field. Today, twenty-one out of forty-three manufac- turers build Straight-Eights. Play Safe With A Straight-Eight It is not for Marmon to predict that all cars will even- tually be Straight-Eights but we can assure cvery buyer of 2 Marmon-built Straight-Eight that his car represents the most modern type of transportation and that its trade-in value can not be depreciated by radical change in engine design during the life of the car. Strasght-Eights At All Prices Marmon is the first manufacturer fully to capitalize the possi- bilities of the Straight-Eight. Marmon builds only this type and for threc years has concen- trated upon the task of making the Straight- Eight a simple, economical, long-lived car for all to own. More than 35,000 owners now have a2 wonderful story to tell about Marmon- built Straight-Eights—how they bechave— how they stand up. Straight-Eight Econemy There has been so much talk among uninformed automobile salesmen that a Straight-Eight is hard on gas. This is not so. Gas consumption is based on power delivered—not the number of cylinders. A Marmon-built Straight-Eight uses cven less gas in proportion to its power and perform- ance than any other type. Whether your automobile budget is $1,000 or $2,500, the great new Marmon-Roosevelt line of Straight-Eights should be scen before you decide to buy any car . . . We will gladly place one or all of these three Straight-Eights at your disposal for any test you care to make. May we have that opportunity? MARMON A. C. MOSES MOTOR CO.
