But you will do it if you buy a 20 h. p. water-cooled car, instead of an air-cooled Waltham-Orient that weighs 350 lbs. less than water- cooled cars of equal strength and power. Worse than this—for the pig iron is only dead weight; but the pumps, radiators, piping, water jackets and water are weight and complications. If anything happens to the circulation of water—good- bye to your cylinders. For then they do not expand at the same ratio as the piston heads, which consequently stick, cutting and scor- ing the cylinder walls. All this extra weight means ten miles less speed every hour, under this ssmie gearing; than’'an, ‘aitscooled Wahhsta-Orisat ‘makes Ie means slow hill climbing on a low speed, while the Waltham-Orients pass by on the high speed. In An Automobile Lacking the extra water-cooling machinery, Waltham-Orients are simple to run; no chauffeur unless you want him. Think of your tires, too! Every 100 Ibs. weight increases the danger of puncture and the wear 10 per cent. Tire bills on Waltham-Orients are reduced one-third. Maybe someone has told you that he did not believe in air- cooling. Here are pertinent facts: We discarded water-cooling in 1901 and now have over 3,000 air-cooled motors in the hands of satisfied buyers. Up to last year five makers had followed our lead —this year there are nearly 20. Next year the most prominent remaining maker of water-cooled cars will bring out an air-cooled model. Send us your name to-day so our local dealer can at once place the proofs of Waltham-Orient advantages before you by actual demonstration in hard work—road work—hill climbing—in any severe test you ask for. That man never owned an air-cooled car—ask him. See the beauty of line—the effective simplicity in Waltham-Orients. Five Models, $1,500 to $2,250.
