automobile
no more like the electric car of a
few years ago than the Mauretania
is like Fulton's steamboat. Each
passing year has marked a far ad
vance in electric car construction.
The Detroit Electric of 1916 is a modern,
powerful automobile in every sense of the
word. It is a car with all the speed yon
really need. It is a car with battery capacity
which guarantees you greater mileaee with
out recharging than you ordinarily use in a
day's motoring. It is a car with plenty of
power to climb hills and pull through heavy
roads. Yer even while the Detroit Elec
tric has steadily advanced in value the
price has steadily declined through the
economies of greater prod uction.

The Electric
Vehicle
It gives economy of money because the up
keep is much cheaper.
It consumes nothing while idle.
It requires less "stable" room.
, It requires fewer men to care for and
groom it.
'It requires no attention when idle, lasts
much longer, reduces force of men used
in delivery of goods, because in small
package delivery it can do the work of
two or more wagons, because it carries
more and goes much faster than a horse.
It does no damage to roads to speak of, and
makes congestion -of-traffic problems
comparatively easy.
It is always ready, keeps up its power in
spite of roads or weather, can be worked
any number of extra hours, as, for ex
ample, in the holiday rush.

CULTURE'S CAR
There is a distinctive place in Cardom which only the
Electric Automobile can fill.
For those who live in town or suburbs it is the one
logical car.
Because more than mere utility is imperative. There is
the further requisite of quality, of j-efinemer.t. of fashion,
of that extra "somrthinjr" which bespeaks true culture.
This is realized by those who own an Electric car.
