duced 17 months ago, it changed all

The Whippet carries the enthusiastic en- ,

who have put this modern car to the acid
test of more than 400,000,000 miles of
service. Such rotil sttieriorily makes the
Whippet the logical choice of anyone.
Other manufacturers must inevitably
follow the Whippet's lead with greater
gasoline mileage, higher speed, faster pick

You can buy the Whippet now, assured
