In the early days of the oil industry poor refining methods were responsible for the production of yellowish kerosenes and gasolines which were sometimes dangerous This led the public to demand that gasoline, be "water white", and the prejudice has hindered the develop ment of cracking processes which pro duce perfectly safe gasoline with a slightly ! yellowish tinge.

In ir rigated sections the number of acres is possible, where the radius of the farmer's necessities are limited. Farm jers in most regions, who till from 160 j to 320 acres are apt. to feel that it is but playing at farming to get down to 20 acres and less, and they ask serious- ily: "Can I make. a living on so limit- jed an acreage?" i The Japanese keep a little more jthan two and one-half acres.

I am still far from where I wanted to go when I started out upon this! thesis, and my original intention was! to show that the success of small farms in the United'-States is only, possible under exceptional circuin-i stances; where the population is fairly, dense and adjacent to a large consum-' ing center; in other words in what ever portion of the United States it is an economic necessity, and can never become generally successful until about twice as much land has been( brought into cultivation as we now have. .-; .

Just forget for a moment that you are going to buy a car priced some where between $800 and $1,150. Now go nad look at the high-priced cars- the cars selling at $2,000, $3,000, $4,000 and up to $10,000. Take a pencil and jot down their ' most important features. Then check those features against the Saxon' "Six" features. You'li find that 11 of the big features of Saxon "Six" are also features of 30 ;ars priced from $2,000 to $10,000. One of these 30 cars selling at $4,800 has 5 of these 11 features of Saxon "Six" at $935. : t Tliat's enough on the quality side. N pw check the performance of these costly cars against the per formance of Saxon "Six." Saxon "Siafwill "pick-up" from a dead-stand tp 50 miles per hour in 26 second. Can these great, heavy cars mafch.that? ;1 Saxon Six" is so flexible that you rarely have to shift ; gears', save when you come to an absolute 4top. But the costly cars have) to change gears then, too. ' Saxon "Six" will "choke" down to 11-2 miles per hour "on high" and roll along smoothly without buck ing and jerking. Do you know any costly car that will do better? Saxon "Six" seats five passengers, comfortably, and six if necessary. No costly five-passenger car can do more. And Saxon "Six" will cost you far less in gas, oil and service attention expense. The price now is $935 f. o. b. De troit Before long the price of all mootr , cars will probably be raised.
