Six Big Features OF Mighty MicMgaini Lair THE HOUSE OF SERVICE' Everything thit is best in rnodern automobile construction is incorporated in "Michigan" Cars for 1912. Almost every make of car boasts some of these. MICHIGAN CARS HAVE THEM ALL. Specifications are not everything, yet point for point, every MICHIGAN model' is the head of its class when actual value is set beside price. MEASURE THEM UP. We challenge comparison. STYLE and GRACEFUL lines are not everything SPEED and POWER are not everything COMFORT and EASY-RIDING qualities alone do not make a car, yet you will find no more handsome designs, no greater motor efficiency, no more luxurious upholstering and big, roomy bodies in cars costing ONE THIRD MORE, than you will find in MICHIGAN cars at these astonishing prices. Behind this sterling worth, as judged by figures, lie the actual accom plishments and the wonderful victories for endurance and hill-climbing tests. These tests have time and again proved the MICHIGAN the best for relia bility and dependability when compared with a score of other cars, some costing three times as much. These lists, backed by our unequaled service, has strengthened our claim of the MICHIGAN as the car for USE for WEAR the car for ECONOMICAL INVESTMENT. 1912 45-H.
