Therefore has placed itself the great est buy on the American market. The ideal car for first owners to buy because of its easy op- H eration. The gears change easier, the brakes work faster, and it has the quickest pickup and get-away of anything you have tried, thus enabling you to quickly in congested traffic to move out with the procession in due time. Whippet a great friend —Money does not flow so freely now as it did in some days, which we all very easily recall, gone by, and the economy of this car will appeal to every man or woman, who wishes to lay a little by each day for the rainy season. There fore we say the Whippet has the ability and willingness to holp you do this. It will run more miles on a gallon of gas than any car on the road. Same thing for the oil. Same thing for repairs. It runs longer without repairs, because of being built stronger and better. If you are considering buying* a car, for your sake, and for economy's sake, see the Whippet. If you have never owned a car and are contemplating buying one, by all means look the Whip pet over, and let us show you the exceptional features over other makes. There is one other thing- to consider also; look, over the Blue Book, the Reel Book or any periodical pertaining to re-sale value of used cars and find the depreciation on the Whippet suffers the least depreciation of any automobile listedd. Just the other day an event took place, out on the Pacific Coast, that attracted considerable attention throughout the automobile world. The record for climbing Mt. Diablo, near Oakland, California, (known as the Mt. Diablo Climb) has been shattered, after standing for over two years. The news of this record-breaking feat must have hit some automobile manufac turers with resounding force, for' their high powered six and eight-cylinder au tomobiles had tried tljeir level best to smash the record. Perhaps, the humiliation might not have been so great had it been a six or even an eight-cylinder car, selling in the same price range as the automobile that established the present mark. But it was "adding insult to injury" when a four-cylinder car, selling for far less than their merchandise, did what their "favorites" failed to accomplish. Your guess is correct. It was the Whip pet that set the new mark—bettering the previous record by 13 2-5 seconds. The Mt. Diablo Climb is an extraordi nary climb. The 11.6 miles of dirt road in cludes dangerous turns test the skill oi the automobile driver and the stamina of the car he drives. The grade is steep, one that has baffled many cars attempt ing a record speed run over it in the past 24 months. Because the Mt. Diablo climb is an ex ceedingly difficult climb—because it does Prices: Touring $455 Coach *535 Roadster $485 Coupe $535 4-Door Sedan ccqc Collegiate Roadster $525 Landau $615 Prices F. O. B.

C. test the stamina of the car and the skill of the driver, the Oakland Post-Enquirer has offered a trophy to be awarded the car holding the record for the climb.' This trophy is perpetual, and remains in possession of the car only while" it is the record-holder. When a competitor lowers the mark, the trophy goes to it, and there remains until a new champion ap pears. This trophy is highly prized, and is eagerly competed for by various manufac turers. Prior to the Whippet's record-breaking feat, many six and eight-cylinder cars had made a bid for a new mark. For over two years these cars had sought in vain. Then alter many of these attempts, it was whispered around that the record was unbreakable. But it wasn't. The Whippet proved that. It proved it decisively as its margin of 13 2-5 second will indicate. The start of the climb was made from the ToM House in the grounds of the Mt. Diablo County Club. Ed Hughes was the observer. In the interest of safety and to driver and "Pen" Johnson the official comply with the regulations as laid down by the Post-Enquirer, the fenders, head lamps and windshield were removed. The climb and the time tell the story. But don't forget that the four big brakes ol the Whippet, its low center of gravity, its ability to travel at a high sustained rate of speed made the climb a success.
