The run was staged by Jordan distributors under the supervision of official observers, chosen by the local newspapers. Here is how it came about, Jordan built the lightest car on the road for its wheelbase 2800 pounds superbly balanced 1400 pounds forward 1400 pounds astern. Jordan owners at once began making startling claims of economy. Jordan dealers were incredulous at first. The Jordan factory waited. The owners furnished more proof. " Then the run was1 organized. Note in the fig ures listed below, taken from telegrams, the striking similarity of averages under favorable road condi tions. The day of economy has dawned at last. ' The hour of the light-weight, compact, high grade, good -looking, perfectly -balanced, rattle proof , comfortable and economical motor car is here. Economy with distinction describes the Jordan perfectly. - That's what lifts this car with a per sonality so far above the mass. - : : cities . Boston. Mass. ........ 22A New York, N.
