*-LIFE- The fine amounts to little—it's the hours of delay, the inconvenience and possible humiliation for you and for those in your company that try the patience and spoil the pleasure of the whole trip. All this can positively be avoided by equipping your car with The Warner Auto-Meter (Registers Speed and Distance) This little instrument always fells the truth. It regise ters with ABSOLUTE ACCURACY from ‘mile to 60 miles per hour. It attaches to any Automobile made. Without it you never know One Warner Auto-Meter will last a Iife- your exact speed—and the time. Itisas sensitive as a Compass and temptation to go a little faster 48 Solid as a Rak. Otherwise it couldn't and.a little faster is almost irre ${a8d our severe service-test, whichis equiv~ : iw most itte- alent to a trip o} sistible—you know how it is. at 50 Miles per Hour om 160,000 M And you know. too, what hap: Granite Pavements Riding Solid Tires, pens to you and your party when A The ‘ical Warner Testing Machine is you think you are going 8 miles shown .

The Warner AutoMeter is Driving your salvation, cnet, ‘And it’s your ONLY salvation, ettaches Because the Warner AutoMeter is Whee the only speed indicator which is sen- sitive enough to be absolutely and unfailingly accurate at speeds under 10 miles an hour. Because it's the only one which works perfectly in all positions and at all angles, on rough roads or smooth, up hill or down. Because it's the only one which changes with the seed alone and in which the indicator does not dance back Fand forth from the jar of the car. ‘The Warner Auto-Meter is the only speed in- dicator which is actuated by the same fixed, un- changeable Magnetism which $ the Mariner's Compass reliable FOREVER under all conditions, Noone else can use Magnetism to determine the speed of an Automobile, though it’s the only positive and sure way Because there is just way in which Magnetism can successfully be used for this purpose and we have Patented that way. There is nothing about the Warncr Auto-Meter which can give out, or wear out, or get out of adjust- ment. It is the only spced-indicator made without cams, plates or levers, and in which there is no fric- dion.’ Friction wears away the cams and levers other speed indicators, which are necessarily so 5 that 2-/000 of an inch wear will throw out the read- ing from one éo five miles per hour. 200 revolutions per minute. Across this shaft lics a plank which is hinged at one end and has the Auto-Mcter attached to the other. Brazcd to the shalt js a knob of stecl, which at every revolution “bumps” the plank, give ing to the Auto-Meter 200 shocks per minute is showing a speed of SOmiles per hour. ch one of these shocks Is more severe than would be suffered in an entire season's After running 10 hours a day for MONTHS, actual tests show the Auto-Mcter to be recording the speed with the same accuracy as at first within 1-100 Of 1%, or loss than 6 inches per mile. No other Speed Indicator on Earth could Stand this Test. This is why we sell each Auto-Meter on = 10 YEARS GUARANTEE and why we gladly renew any Auto-Meter (which has not been injured by accident) it the Magnet (the HEART ofthe instrament)is less accurate than 1-10 of Ifafter 10 years use. n We will gladly tell you more about this 1] Wonderful instrument if you will write us, If you write TODAY we will send you Something every motorist will prize—our ‘reo Book—**Auto Polaters.
