Mr. Lee L. Gilbert, ' Salem, Oregon. Dear Sir: . . v I wish to thank you at this time for the service you have given me on my 1919 Elgin, also on the 1918 Elgin which I purchased from you last season. My car has given me very good service this year and the past three or four months I have driven it about 9000 miles over all kinds of roads as my business require s me, at times, to go over ploces that are practically im passible. I haven't spent a dollar for repairs in the 9000 miles and the car has given me wonderful mileage on gasoline, oil and tires. I have one of the original tires on the front wheel at this time. In fact, all the tires on the car ran from three to four thousand miles over the guarantee. The writer wishes you every success in your automobile business, as I know that you are giving more 'real automobile service to the owner than any dealer that I know in this city or valley. The writer feels that service is the main thing to consider when any one is buying an automobile. There are many good cars manufactured today, but I think the main thing to consider when purchasing a car is to buy a car where one is assured of service whenever it is necessary to have it. Thanking you again for the courtesies you have shown me, I am, , v' . ( - .... Very truly yours, G.B. POWERS. TERRITORY OPEN FOR GOOD LIVE DEALERS The test of a car's steadiness and smooth riding is its ability to travel at a merry clip over rough roads. Under such conditions you feel a sense of security and safety in the Elgin Six no "nerves" or worrry no jouncing about or side sway no fear that the car will slide off the road. Improved cantilever spring suspension of exclusive design and perfect balance throughout make the Elgin Six ride straight as an arrow under all conditions. These outstanding features help to give Elgin Six its place as the supreme motorcar value in its price class. Take a demonstration as our guest and find out for yourself . nti o LEE L.

Dear Sir: I desire to express my ap preciation to your firm for going over my new Elgin ear recently and making the necessary adjustments without charge. I fully expected to pay for this service. " I am greatly pleased with the new El ?in and mnxt say that the . wonderful springs in this car makes it the easiest riding machine that I have ever had the pleasure of driving. I have, drivea this car over 1800 miles and it has yet to miss hitting on all six cylinders and surely has been running like a top. I negotiated th0 trip to Hood Biver . about ten days ago and filled my tank before leaving Portland and set my speedometer at zero, which registered on reachin Hood River 69 miles. I again filled my tank at Hood River and it took . trifle less than four gal Ions of gasoline, making an average of a trifle, over 17 miles to the gallon. My ear has loosened up considerably ' since then and think I am getting about '20 kOhe present time. ' ' '.

HAZEI.WOOD COMPAXY Wholesale Dairy Products .. Portland, Or., May 2ii. 1919. Mr. Lee L. Gilbert, Salem, Or. Dear Sir: In your letter of a recent date you ask mc "how I like my Elgin Six 'Chummy.' " - I will in reply state that I have driv en my car about 8000 miles itnd the only expense I have boon to on my engine is to buy 3 spark plugs. I drove all win ter through very bad roads and in sev eral instances through water 30 inches deep, and in one place I was the only one out of 7 cars that went through with out being towed. I have just returned from a "trip through Troutdale to Glen wood and over a grade from Glenwood to Goldendale, Wash., which is about 5 miles, and in many places over 30 per cent. My Elgin is always ready to go and I am well pleased with the Elgin "6." - With the exception of a broken spring nd some new bushing I have had no expense. During the winter months I have averaged better than 15 miles to a gallon of gas. Now as the roads are getting beter I am making about 17 miles to a gallon of gas. Thanking you for talking me Info buying an Englin I beg to remain, Tours truly, ' ' W. B. PEAIBS. LOUIS V. LCNDBURG Attorney at Law Portland, Or., Aug. 7, 1917. Mr. Lee L. Gilbert, Salem, Or. ... Dear Sir: When I bought my Elgm Siv from you several weeks age, I was inclined to be skeptical in regard to some of the claims made for it, but , they hare been so fully proven in serv ice that I am more than satisfied with the ear. It is a wonder in performance n roughr country roads and a surprise how easy it rides the bumps. At thirty-five miles per hour, which is as fast as I have dared to go to date, I never noticed any vibration whatever. I am proud to . own the ear and thank you. for having your salesman influence me to bur sn Elgin Six. Yours trulv, tons v. irxPBrRo.
