We believe that no car can be better built. Our constant, diligent, per- sistent effort is devoted exclusively to the one fixed Parle of giving ako patrons the best four-cylinder car that can be produced. ere is only one Olympian chassis, and on that one chassis we con- centrate all the work of our ample facilities. To its construction we’ give all the thought and care that is humanly possible. An Olympian car is shipped only when we know it is right—and not before. The Olympian goes to its new owner absolutely complete. Nothing is skimped—nothing is slighted—nothing is lacking. Olympian standard equip- ment includes more actual motoring necessities than that of any other car now offered to the public. This is a sweeping statement, but one that is nevertheless true. Ac- cessories are essential if the purchaser is to have a completely appointed car. So EE garg them in addition to the equipment generally accepted as both by car buyers and cay manufacturers. A cursory inspection of the Olympian will convince even a novice that the car is a high-grade production in every sense of the word. To motorists who are guided by years of experience this is apparent at a glance.- ° fi ° Specifications Axles—Rear axle, full floating type. Front axle, I-beam, drop forged.
