MOTAKT PI'BI.IO ON THE HKIOBTS Would you hitch four horses to a single buggy Of course not and it's just as wasteful to use a four-cylinder automobile when the single-cylinder Brush Runabout will do your work. And it will do your work. A Brush Runabout will cover three times the area possible with your horse and buggy m tue same time and do it at less expense. 77e O Brash Runabout A guaranteed, efficient automobile 450 FaUf Equipped, l.e.fc. DetroM A four-cylinder car coniumes two or three times the gasolene and oil used by a single cylinder Brush and the cost of maintaining and operating the four-cylinder car is six to eight times as much. The Brush costs only one cent a mile to operate. The winner of an Economy Con test drove his Brush 100 miles at a total cost of 39 cents another ran 48.4 miles on one gallon of gasolene. As one of many instances of its wonderful durability, a Brush owner states after 10 months' usage that he has driven his car 10,000 fciilcs, with no expense for repairs of any kind. The advantages of the single -cylindei economy, efficiency and simplicity have long been recognized in Europe, where they make single-cylinder cars costing five to eight times as much as the Brush. The Brush is a real automobile, as highly developed on a smaller plan as expensive large cars. Each car is equipped with shock absorbing devices under the Truffault-Hart ford patents, top, storm front, gas lamps, generator, tools, etc. Come in and see this car.
