It will make you say, "This Briscoe satisfies my ideals." Building it entirely in our own new factories allowed us to make the price $685. A LARGER motor, additional equipment, finer finish makes a car value, we feel, never equalled before. Ten big factories, and an experience dating from the beginning of the industry enables Mr. Briscoe to give so much for so little. PLEASING design, fine upholstery, unusual leg room, easy 'to -understand controls, accessibility of every working part makes this a car that fills your everv desire.
