WE have made Jewett Coach
comparison-proof in room
iness in quality of detail in price!
To its already ample roominess
unmatched in the Coach iield we
have skilfully added length without
bulk for even more roominess.
Jewett Coach now has more en
trance space than any two-door car
on the market. It's the greatest ex
ample of manufacturing and design
ing skill Jewett has ever produced.
A Coach with so many great qual
ities, you will be hard put to the
task of finding its greatest.
You will get an impression of
quality when you see Jewett Coach
such as you have never associated
with so low a price. To look so good
Jewett Coach musr be good.
And when you drive you will
realize instantly that Jewett has
made a truly great motor even
greater in smooth, quiet power.
See These Improvements!
You will be impressed with its new
completeness that neglects nothing
charmed with its distinctive new
coloring and upholstery.
You can only appreciate this reat
car after a thorough inspection of
its many improvements. The new
coincidental lock that locks steering
wheel and ignition with one turn of
the key; a new air cleaner that keeps
road dust and 'grit out of the cylin
ders; indirect lighting that eliminates
glare on the instrument board; light
switches conveniently at hand on
the steering gear; gear shift and
emergency brake levers moved for
ward to provide clear floor space in
front, and many other equally im
portant improvements.
It Took 17 Years to Build It
Jewett has concentrated the ex
perience of 17 years on this Coach.
Through all these years it has been
our desire to produce a car as good
as beautiful -as completely an en
gineering triumph as Jewett Coach
af a moderate price!
Already Jewett Coach has pro
duced for us a sales record un
equalled in our business.
Now -we offer a greater Jewett
Coach, with all its improvements
at an important reduction in price!
Come in and let us show you
what these improvements mean
with yourself at the wheel.
