AREMODEL, ’l'B S ZTONEBRAKER CONSTRLITioN RVICE rcury adorned with a new and extensive Autumn wardrobe, the new Straight Eight line by Pierce-Arrow opens the season with a special exhibit. This showing embraces a new group of de Luxe models—the very latest expression of Pierce-Arrow, and the utmost in artistry as ap- plied to the finish and equipment of fine motor cars. Pierce-Arrow puts emphasis on the fact that each model shown is of the new Straight Eight line— precisely of the design that revolu- tionized the fashion in fine motor cars this year. The colorings and the fabrics,’ the harmonizing of exteriors and interiors, are all crisply fresh crea- tions of master decorators. The appointments throughout are in the custom manner, So far as mechanical features are concerned, it has always been maintained that in Pierce-Arrowis to be found every device of proved character known to the engineering of fine motor cars. Such accepted improvements as non-shatterable glass, high-effi- ciency brakes, easy gear-shifts, and low center of gravity—in fact, whatever contributes to the safety and comfort of motorists —1s pres- ent in Pierce-Arrow automatically and as a matter of course. Often other much-heralded de- vices are disregarded by Pierce- Arrow because of their inability to contribute to this car's smoothness and adaptability of power, its high degree of safety and comfort. Pierce-Arrow has since the be- ginning enjoyed the distinction of being America’s finest motor car. The new Straight Eight this year has made it the most fashionable. And this season’s colorings make it, beyond doubt, the most beautiful. You are cordially invited to at- tend the Pierce-Arrow exhibit now being held.
