MOTORING

CONDENSED INFORMATION FOR THE PROS- 

 PECTIVE PURCHASER. 



For some time I have been wanting to 

 print in Recreation a list of American auto- 

 mobiles classified as to price, and as this 

 month's issue contains several automobile 

 articles and stories, it seems a particularly 

 good time to do it. 



In order to make the list compact, only a

 hoped that this list may be of use to prospec-

 or mistakes so that they may be included in 

 a later issue in this department. 



To those who find the list interesting and 

 who may wish further information concern- 

 ing American automobiles, we suggest writ- 



comprised in the book, it will supplement the 

 subjoined list nicely, and, in short, every 

 prospective purchaser ought to have a copy. 



In each case the style of the body has been 

 indicated, and perhaps it should be explained 

 that the style "Stanhope" is used in the sense 

 of meaning a body having a folding front seat 

 which may be used to accommodate two 

 extra passengers if desired, and folded up 

 so as to give the effect of a neat box front 

 when only two persons are to be carried in 

 the car. No difference is made between side 

 entrance tonneau and rear entrance tonneau.
