Graham la entering a lower
price field, with new body models

foor-door four-window sedan at
a list price of $845, and a four
door sbr-window sedan at $89S,
both fire-passenger cars, are to
be known respectiTely as the town
sedan and the universal sedan.
The former is $150 lower In price
than any four-door sedan previ
ously available on the new Gra
ham chassis. Other new body
models of the Standard six line
are the business coupe at $145.
and the rumble-seat coupe at
$895. Loder Bros, local agents
are showinr the new models.
The new models share with all
other Graham sixes and eights

In this new presentation by the
cranam brothers Is seen practical
proof that by strict adherence to
quality standards in massed man
ufacturing-, motor cars can rise
above the commonplaee in qua!
n Ity and still be held down in
price.
The way for this demonstration
of combined quality and low
prices has been paved by the Gra-
nams anring the last three years.
Ia that time they have perfected
their manufacturing processes
engineering, chassis construction,
and body building, and acquired
me manuiacturing volume af
forded by more than 160,900
owners.
The Graham quality evidenced
we Town sedan la the culmin
ation of all the quality ideals
which have guided the Grahams
- throughout their manufacturing
rer or a quarter of a centurv.
I la the Town sedan they offer, o'n
a 115-inch wheelbase, a full five
passenger car with four wide
doors and a roomy, sturdy, Graham-built
body in which are in
corporated many exclusive feat
ures of construction that Insure
long life.
Both cars are powered by a
six-cylinder motor which devel
ops 66 actual brake horsepower.
The power plant is the original
sturdy and economical Graham
motor perfected and refined. Its
more prominent features are the
seven bearing crankshaft; inter
ehangable bronze backed main
bearings; pressure lubrication;
four point suspension, and the
eusJoning of the rear engine
mountings on rubber.
All main, connecting rod, and
eamshaft bearings, as well as the
timing chain, water pump shaft,
and valve tappets are lubricated
from a submerged gear pump. A
guarded flat tube and fin radiator
f ample site cools the water,
which Is circulated by a chain
driven centrifugal pump. The
cylinders are water-Jacketed the
full length of the bores and the
cooling system includes a therm
ostat. Cat Has

Speedy getaway In traffic has
been provided for by an expand
ing vane type carburetor with
built-in accelerating pump, which
automatically insures a proper
foel mixture at all times. The
fuel pump is mechanically driven
and mounted on the engine. Be
forp entering the carburetor, all
gasoline Passes through a filter,
and all air passes through an air
cleaner, while special intake and
exhaust manifold provide even
distribution of properly mixed
fuel to all cylinders.
The most important mechanic
al . change is the adoption of an
advanced form of manifold heat
-control which regulates the tem
perature of the fuel mixture.
This heat control was developed
by. Graham engineers, and was
first shown on the new Graham
eight-cylinder cars this year. It
proved so advantageous In use
that it has been adapted to both
ix-cvlinder engines in the Stan
dard three-speed chassis and the
Special four-speed chassis.
The many advanced features
Incorporated into both the Tows
and Universal sedans could .not
have emanated from any source
other than the Graham plants. In
them are crystalized ideals of

The life of aristocratic flappers
of about the year one, A. D., is
likely to come to light In excava

English cities.
Veralum was one of the rreat
tribal capitals of prehistoric Eng.
land.
When th Romans came, it ia
believed by archeoloeiats. th
made Veralum "the only munici
pality in the erovlnre. a diatinA.

For this reason it is regarded
as the most likelv' nrosnMnv

which the Royal Commission oa
Historic Monuments reports is
probably filled with .buildings,

imaginations of archeologlsts. On
the site of the new Bank of Eng
