C, Subscribes to the BEACON LI i Sumptuous Motoring s t It is instinctive in us Americans to travel, not only comfortably, but luxuriously. We demand every thing that means greater safety, greater convenience greater ease, and elegance of traveling. It is the national habit. To meet that national standard of luxurious motoring the New Series Fairfield "Six-46" has been designed. And the proof that it has already met that demand is attested by the astounding reception it has re ceived in the short time since we announced it and have had it on exhibition. We claimed that the New Series Fairfield "Six-46" is 'the most completely equipped car that can be pur chased on the American market absolutely irre spective of price." The instantaneous popularity and appreciation of this car have already verified the truth of that claim. If you have not already seen this car, ridden in it and driven it, we urge you to do so. We urge you to compare it with any other car in the world and see for yourself whether any other car regardless of price can offer you so much efficiency, comfort, luxury and intrinsic value as this New Series Fair field offers you and the price is $1375.
