Each individual part, no mat- ter how large or how small, is designed and made ONLY FOR THE BRISCOE. This is why eyery part gives thousands of miles of service with the least possible wear. And when each part is right, the whole car must be right. Mechan- ical superiority is a fundamental principle of BRISCOE construction, It is NOT an assembled car. 4 This is the reason why repair bills are rare bills for BRISCOE owners A splendid example of BRISCOE superiority is found in its remark- able economy of operation. Records of thirty and even more miles to the gallon of gasoline are frequently reported by BRISCOE owners, Tire mileage is also unusually high, Come, take a ride in the BRISCOE $885 f. o. b.
