BODY, MADE LOWER
. . BY CHEAT LINES
'' ' :
NEW "YORK, Sept. 20.
We're being cheated when we
buy our cars, but we like It!
; The reason Is that the cheat-
ing causes our cars to appear -4
lower and sleeker. This is
done by using "cheat lines,"
says R. H. ' Dietrich, noted
body designer. In the design
of the car.
. A molding around the body
and extending to the radiator,
the wider the better, makes
the car look low, he : says.
The curvature ot the root also
produces this effect, and when
the windows are wider than
they are high, the illusion of
low appearance Is increased. -
Butte President, V. L. Winn,
Montana Auto & Garage company,
Butte; vice-president, J. E. Barclay,
same company; secretary, Claude
Dowen, ot the Milk River Motor
company, Havre; treasurer, A. L.
Andreason, of the Anderson' Chev
rolet company, Helena. The latter
