Again Auburn. creates a new individuality AUBURN introduces new features, improvements and advan tages never before obtainable in any car. Dating from today, ; all comparison of automobile values must '-be completely re vised. This very positive claim is made with the full knowledge that it will hot go unchallenged. (V7e will let these new cars speak for themselves. Auburn believes the remedy for subnormal times is abnormal value. Therefore, Auburn has chosen the present busi ness period as the opportune time in which to advance and grow -ThU is possible in one and only one way; Auburn must increase the buyiner power of the consumer's dollar beyond all comparison. At the. risk of sounding extravagant, we assure you that! Auburn has gone to greater lengths to provide more rugged, rigid, endur ing construction; more efficient performance, 1 safer readability and 1 more accommodations for the cortifort and convenience of passeri- A gers than have ever been offered to the public. We submit the car - itself as proof. We invite you to make every possible comparison. The more informed and hard-to-please you are, the more we wel come your searching study of every structural, feature of these new cars. Auburn makes this radical departure, not with the idea simply of being competitive, but with the purpose of fully removing all doubt f rom the buyer's mind as to which car offers today the great-. est value, and the most satisfactory automobile ' investment. If this announcement strikes you as being "too good to be true," we urge you to verify it for yourself. That is all we ask. Our dealers are so . enthused that they assure us the demand will be so great for these new models that we must caution the public not to delay.
