Tho Pnlge-Detroit Motor C.ir company, maker of Paige and Jewell cars, has arrived ut lliis conclusion through a comparison of wiles Btatistlcs covering I lie whole country, - declares J Ian is French, local denier.

As between two cars of Identical body lines und chassis, the buyer prefers the car with tho handsomer interior trim, the more costly exterior finish, and the expensive additional equip ment for comfort and ease, and he does not hesitate to show his preference by cheerfully paying the additional price charged for these features."
