After reading the above specifications of the Elgin you can readily seevhy we are selling so many.cara. Can you afford to pay $2000 to $'2500 for a car that has the same specifications, and is a great deal heavier than the Elgin, and costs you a great deal more to operate and far more inaccessible to overhaul and ad just? Why is it that Elgin owners come right back and trade in their Elgins that have been driven thousands of miles and get a new Elgin? It is because they like their car and want another. Use a little judgment and look this car jdvoTBo fore you buy, let us show you what this wonderful World's Lightweight champion six will do.

Ask any of them if we have ever replaced any axles, gears, transmissions, differ entials or had a motor go wrong. Now isn't that sufficient proof of what this wonderful car is made of.
