THE IRRIGATION AGE. 





Automobile Evidence 



Automobile buying ought not to be a gamble. 

 Buyers ought to know what they are getting. 



Not only how much power, how many speeds, and how much seating cam 

 but also 



What they are getting in service and satisfaction. 

 Every maker ought to be able and eager to supply the necessary facts. 

 But most makers don't. 



The trouble is they (the makers themselves) don't know. 

 Have never taken the trouble to find out. 



So, they can't tell you how much mileage their cars are good for, or 

 How much you'll have to pay for repairs every 100 miles. 

 Yet these items are of vital interest to every car buyer. 



Ask a maker what his car is good for and he'll 

 tell you some news that makes good reading, but 

 doesn't help you any. As for instance: 



His car won a race. You are not intending 

 to risk your life in races, so that fact doesn't 

 mean much to you. 



His car won an endurance contest. What, 

 one endurance contest? You aren't buying a 

 car for one endurance test; you want a car to 

 endure for several years, to say the least. 



His car won a hill-climb. You want a car to 

 climb every hill you come to. 



His buyers are satisfied. 



So? "But how much does their satisfaction 

 cost them?" you ask, and Mr. Maker can't sup- 

 ply the answer. 



Probably he doesn't know. 



If he does know, he doesn't tell. 



We insist that every buyer ought to know 

 what he gets. 



&U He ought also to know how much he must 

 pay for what he gets. 



Purchase price isn't alt the buyer pays. 



Sometimes purchase price is only an initia- 

 tion fee into an expensive surprise society. 



Cheap cars usually cost more to kee i 

 to get. 



But cheap cars are not alone in tha'io 



Some fairly expensive ones are "dry da 

 so often that the owner finds it almost a nil 

 to own two cars in order to get the regulfd 

 service of one. 



That's a 'fact known to the trade. 



But it isn't advertised. 



And those "satisfied owners" don't 

 it, because men seldom care to publish 

 were "stung." 



The automobile industry is now me 

 ten years old. 



With ten years' experience, cars oughil 

 so well made as to run two, three, five} 

 with practically no expense for upkeep. 



But that wasn't possible until the imin 

 and production of six*cylinder cars. 



Because with a continuous power-strewn 

 six-cylinder motor doesn't shake itself andci 

 into the repair shop. 



And no car has a continuous power- ;i 

 unless it has six cylinders. 



Keep that fact in mind.

When Mr. Winton made his first Six-Ci 

 car, he realized that thereafter owners woil 

 less for upkeep. 



Because Sixes would stand up bette 1 

 any other type ever made. 



Then he set about to prove that fact. 



For two years now Mr. Winton has ba
