D O you put road serviceability first in buying a car? You 
will find it developed to the highest degree in The Autocar. 
'Reliability is a watchword in The Autocar factory. 
Every effort of this great manufacturing plant is devoted to 
producing motor cars that are reliable in every particular, that will 
respond to the utmost service demanded of them. 
An uniquely exhaustive system of factory tests insures the highest 
standard of efficiency in every part before any car is sent out on the roads. 
That is why The Autocars have established an unequalled record for 
Reliability both on the track in formal contests and on the highways in the 
hands of private owners.

in repose and in action and will let you 
try him. From his stock you will be 
able, if you have patience, to find what 
you seek. But do not be in too much 
of a hurry and do not, in deciding in the 
affirmative, pay too much attention to 
some non-essential that strikes your 
fancy—color, for instance. The good 
dealer will help you in your selection of 
a horse just as a good banker will 
help you in selecting an investment. 
But do not trust to your coachman or 
stableman in determining or on making 
a purchase. If you deliberately choose 
to be cheated that is a sure and quick 
way. Another “don’t.” Do not take 
the family or a coterie of friends along 
with you when you set out on a search. 
If you have an amiable friend in whom 
you have confidence let him go alone or 
call him in when you have about ^con¬ 
cluded the matter. 
I have counseled intending purcha¬ 
sers not to be in too much of a hurry. 
On the other hand, I advise them against 
a too leisurely dawdling. Horses are 
for sale and the dealers usually take the 
first good money in sight. I have known 
many a purchaser to lose what he really 
wanted by waiting till day after to¬ 
morrow. When tfiat time came the 
horse had found another owner. And 
when you find that you have a horse 
that does not suit you the wisest course 
is to sell him at once. The dealer may 
be willing to exchange him for something 
else; if not it is still best to sell and sell 
quickly, even though the ever available 
auction sale be resorted to. An unsatis¬ 
factory horse is too vexatious to the 
human spirit to be put up with. Get 
rid of him and accept the loss; then try 
again. 
Every horse owner gets a bad 
horse now and again. It is no im¬ 
putation on a man’s judgment to be 
deceived by a horse. There are good 
horses in plenty and the optimist who 
refuses to be discouraged will surely 
find his reward. Cynical non-horse- 
owmng friends may be as bitterly 
witty as their faculties enable them, 
but no attention should be paid to such 
cavillers. 
They are like to the old bachelors 
who scoff at matrimony; they are only 
poor things at best. The good horse 
rewards his owner in a thousand various 
ways; he is worth hunting for, worth 
waiting for and once secured he should 
have the treatment that fidelity merits.
