Intro- duced months ago, it changed all previous standards of light car performs. ance. And constant improvement fore- casts its continued success. The Whippet carries the enthusiastic en- Jorsement of more than 125,000 owners who have put this modern car to the acid test of more than 400,000,000 miles of service. Such proved superiority makes the Whippet the logical choice of anyone. Other manufacturers must inevitably follow the Whippet's lead with greater soline mileage, higher speed, faster pick» up, the safety of BIG 4-wheei brakes, low center of gravity, more leg room, full- vision bodies and modern appearance. You can buy the Whippet now, assured at a year from now it will still be the st modern car in its field—with resale value correspondingly high.
