' t ' ' Officials of the Gardiner '.com pany ascribe this increase to pub lic demand for a four-cylinder car in the thousand-dollar price class, combining economy with brilliant performance. -. "The five-bearing -crankshaft feature of the Gardiner has taken a very gratifying place in public resteem," says W; H. Yeldell, sales manager of the Gardiner - Motor company ,T "Then, too, the com plete coverage " offered by the Gardner one-year written guaran tee has instantly appealed-to the motoring public.- This is true not only because of t the ' protection it offers the car buyer, but also be cause it Indicate' the confidence this company; has in its. product.
