FOR SEVERAL YEARS THERE HAS BEEN A VERY HEAVY
DEMAND FOR A REAL RUNABOUT AT A MODERATE
PRICE. This demand has never heretofore been quite satisfi-,
ed. There have been runabouts marketed at all prices, but
the low-priced runabout did not have quite the finish and at
tention to detail that you have been looking for; and the run
about that did satisfy your taste was too high priced.
HERE AT LAST IS THE CAR at a moderate price that has all
the features and attention to details that anyone could ask.
IT HAS THE POWER. Twenty-five horsepower in a car of light
weight means ample power for all hill work and plenty of
speed on the level. This car has been designed by Charles
Frederick HerreshofT, who has probably designed more suc
cessful motors, both for marine and automobile work, than any
other designer. Herreshoff does not know how to design
cheap motors he does not know how to design a cheap car.
Every detail, every feature, from a mechanical as well as an
artistic standpoint, is right.
YOU MUST NOT CONFOUND THIS RUNABOUT WITH ANY
THING ELSE YOU HAVE EVER SEEN IN A LOW PRIC
ED CAR. The motor is cast en bloc, four-cylinder, vertical
water cooled, developing twenty-five horsepower. The pistons
are ground and fitted with three ground rings. Cylinders,
Pistons and Rings are lapped together with polished agent to
obtain perfect fit Crank Pin bearings and wrist pins are
bushed with Herreshoff special bronze.
THE ENTIRE POWER PLANT, RUNNING GEAR AND BODY
OF THIS NEW RUNABOUT IS UP TO THE MINUTE.
Nickel steel is employed wherever possible and the castings
for cylinders and pistons are the best that can be procured.
VALVES Inlet and exhaust valves on the same side of the cylin
ders, mechanically operated and interchangeable. Cam shaft
enclosed in the crank case, thoroughly protected from dirt and
certain of lubrication.
CRANK CASE The crank case is cast of special semi-steel in
two horizontal sections. The uppermost section forms the
engine base, and is supported on the sub member of the main
frame of the car. Bottom section is an oil well easily removed
for inspection, without disturbing crank shaft bearing.
CARBURETOR Carburetor is the Stromberg Carburetor, with
primary air intake shut off for starting in cold weather.
MOTOR COOLING is by water circulation, thermo syphon system.
Forced draft by fan.
IGNITION is supplied by the new flat wave Bosch magneto.
THE CLUTCH is the Herreshoff type multiple disc, 30 plate steel
on steel.
TRANSMISSION is of the selective type, three- speeds forward,
and reverse. Nickel steel of special alloy is employed.
CONTROL OF THE CAR IS THOROUGHLY UP-TO-DATE. Left
hand drive, with center control. Foot accelerator, as well as
throttle on wheel.
SPRINGS ARE LARGE AND FLEXIBLE, 34-inch front springs
and 42-inch rear springs, shackeled at both ends. Grease cups
provided on all spring bolts.
THE BODY IS THOROUGHLY UP-TO-DATE. It is constructed
of sheet steel panels over wood frame work. The seats are
upholstered in black No. 1 leather over curled hair, with spiral
springs throughout. Pockets between the seats for goggles,
gloves, etc.
THE CAR IS PROVIDED WITH ELECTRIC HEADLIGHTS
equipped with 16 C. P. Tungsten bulbs. Electric rear tail
lamp. Current is supplied from a 60-ampere storage battery,
or if you prefer gas headlights, we will supply optional two
gas headlights, with gas generator, and oil tail lamp.
THIS IS THE CAR THAT YOU WILL BE PROUD TO OWN.
A car which you will be proud to drive that you will not apol
ogize to your friends for its appearance or performance.
THIS RUNABOUT WAS NOT SELECTED BY. US IN A HURRY.
It is the result of several weeks' careful study of the runabout
situation, and after a thorough test had been made of various
makes of runabouts. It is a car which we can thoroughly
vouch for it is a car which we can thoroughly back up.
