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. See this wonderful Elgin Motor, featuring advanced engineering
principles of modern aircraft engines, minimized woight, overhead valves, detach
able cylinder head, counter-balanced crankshaft, light pistons and wighted con
necting rod and assemblies. It is silent and vibrationless through all speed ranges
and capable of extremely high speed underload. Especially designed for econom
ical carburetion of low gravity fuel. Notice the bore and stroke---;! 1-8 in. by 4 1-4
in.; displacement 195.fi cubic inches, S. A. E. h. p., 2J.11;; develops 4G h. p., at 2290
r. p. m.; maximum speed :i.510 r. p. m.; weight 425 pounds. This is the second year
in Salem that the Elgin has been sold and there are sixty nine satisfied owners.
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. Ask about the service that goes with the Elgin, ask to
see the service card. 'You don't pay for service every time the hood is' lifted. We
are here to stay! We don't forget vou after you buy, but do everything in our
power to keep satisfied owners and Elgin boosters. Our service and parts de
partment is open for your inspection. Come and see the World's Champion Light
weight Champion Six. The car of the hour, the car that is always ahead. Get ac
quainted with Lee Gilbert, the man who sold the first Elgin in Oregon, and who has
been selling them for three years, and if the Elgin wasn't good he would be sell
ing some car that was good. Give this matter your serious consideration. Inves
tigate it. Try it out on the steepest hills. See the car any woman can drive. See
the car that starts on high; the easiest gear shifting car on the market; .the car
that laughs at hills and rough roads an Think it over!

IF YOU are one of the many who intend to buy
a car, you will find that you have a choice of
three purchases. You can buy
(1) Abefcre-the-war model, or
(2) A hastily designed and hurriedly
constructed car, made ready for the
market since the armistice was de
clared, or
(3) The New Elgin Sfc, a car ready
for delivery now, that represents such
a big step forward that it is fully a year
and a half ahead of the times.
For eighteen months, whilo the Elgin fac
tories were building war trucks, tho Designing,
Engineering and Executive Staffs of the Elgin
Motor Car Corporation devoted their best tal
ents and energies to the designing, testing and
perfecting of the New Elgin Six.
