“IME” —There are Two Kinds of Endurance. No matter what else a salesman may sa be will swear that his car has “ Endurance For this is the one thing above everything else that every buyer insists upon. But Endurance is also the one thing that you can't sce or feel. So it’s the easiest of all things to promuse. There are two kinds of Endurance—Prom- ise-Endurance and Performance-Endurance. Performance-Endurance leaves you no room, for doubt; and it's as casy to buy as the salesman to prove that his car has Endurance. Then measure his proof by the proof shown by this stock Thomas Flyer Thomas Flyer This Car Has Recently reached Seattle in Good Condition, Completing a Total of 20,000 Miles Under Its Own Power The Greatest of All Performances This 4-60 Thomas Flyer won the break- neck ¢ from New York to Paris from five of the best cars of Euro This meant 88 running days of inconceivable punishment— a terrible total of 13,000 miles. And this without once being in'a repair shop. On its return to America, without further repairs, it ran another 1,000 miles. Later, during last winter, it was driven 2,000 miles further. In March, still in good condition, it w: chosen as the “ Pathfinder" to lay out the 4,000-mile route for the forthcoming New York-Seattle Endurance Contest. The car, as every newsreader knows, reached Seattle with no repairs other th those on the road by the crew. This Is Performance-Endurance _This is the kind you want. This is the Thomas kind. No piece of machinery that the world ever saw has borne half of what this grand old stock car has endured. With all this Endurance, the Thomas Flyer has Style, Comfort, Refinement, Distinction.

Thomas Motor Co. 1203 Niagara Street, Buffalo New York Branch, Broadway at 63d Street Identifying the Lump When Jerome B. Fisher was county judge of Chautauqua County, New York, a damage suit came before him. The plaintiff sued for a large sum because he was injured by a street car. He was, apparently, in good health, but it was shown he had been injured, and two of the items of proof presented were a spot about the size of a man’s hand on his back and a lump the size of a walnut on his shoulder. The plaintiff's lawyer said a great deal about these evidences of the ter- rible injuries his client had received. At sum- ming-up time the lawyer for the street pany arose. “If the court please and gentl about this spot on this lump the size of a walnut on his shoulder. Do not be deceived, gentlemen of the jury, by the specious conversation of my friend, the opposins counsel, in this regard. That spot on this man’s back is no more nor less than a birthmark, and as for that lump the size of a walnut on the plain- tiffs shoulders, that, gentlemen of the jury, is his head.” —Saturd ning Post.
