Perhaps the greatest single tribute
that is paid the New Elgin Six, is the in
difference of Us owners to the appeal of
other ears struggling for a share of the
Elgin performance.'
Year after year, for seven years, eager
salesmanship has been centered and con
centrated upon this effort to divert the
Elgin owner from his allegiance.
Year after year their number has in
creased, and today the Elgin is one of the
best selling light six cars on the market.
This could not be so, of course, but for
the positive conviction of the Elgin owner
that it would be impossible for him tot
find a car at once so superbly smooth and '
so free from the need of adjustment, over
hauling and repair.
, Me believes that this sort of continu
ous satisfaction, freedom from care, cost
