A recent investigation among owners of Six Cfinder cars shows that not half of them have even driven a Straight Eight. These car owners know in a general way that an Eight is far superior, but they do not know from actual experience what a great difference and inv provement the Straight Eight offers. Here is your opportunity to find out, because Auburn now introduces a Straight Eight that sells for much less than most of the better Sixes. and does not cost any more to operate. No one paying over $1000 for an automobile need now be deprived of the smoothness, the even flow of power, the greater efficiency, the finer performance, and the freedom from ordi nary driving annoyances that only a Straight Eight can provide. You can get all the Straight Eight advantagA now in this big, powerful, strong and enduring Auburn at a new sensational price. Other Auburn advantages are: 125-inch whebase, Lycoming motor, Bohnalite steel strut pistons, dgal manifold, dual carburction, strongest frame under any car, four-wheel internal expanding hydraulic brakes, hydraulic shock absorbers and Bijur chassis lubrica tion. You are invited to come and drive this Straight Eight and compare its value with any other car. AUBURN AUTOMOBILE CO., AUBURN, INDIANA trtut f. o. 6. Avium el Conmnt.ir, Ind.
