of thai price for the Maswell closed cart.
The purpose of the Ma swell builders
wm to strike) the MIDDLE LINE of ab
solute value.

beauty, comfort, ' efficiency, durability,
economy and standard equipment '

one or the other of these would ' be
lacking.
On the other hand, for higher price
you could get only larger site or fancier
furnishings not any greater VALUE or
finer "class."
That is what we mean by "the Middle
Line," -
