I’ve got what I want.” At this moment a bell boy knocked. He entered and handed Merlin an en- velope. Merlin opened it, read the paper inside, signed it, tossed it over to Roberts, who bewilderingly signed it as a witness once more. Then Merlin in- dorsed Selzig's check, put it in another envelope and, addressing it, gave it back to the boy. “Send this right over,’ he said briefl “ By the way,”’ he said to Selzig, as he banded him a box of cigars, “we are to be neighbors “What do you mean?” The Egyptian Cigarette of Quality AROMATIC DELICACY MILDNESS PURITY 2 At your Club of Dealer's THE SURBRUG CO., Makers, New York. about the As to which of these methods will come nearest to pro- | ducing the kind of a car you would like to own nothing need be said. ‘The writer of this advertisement was impressed with the marked advantage of the reproduction method of building during an investigation of the Enger 40.

Cars of this Enger kind do not “happen invariably reproductions. Mr. Enger (who is a manufacturer of unlimited means) gave, me this explanation of his method in building his 40: “For several years I have owned a car that is known the world over as being one of the five best cars manufactured —either American or Foreign. The car is as fine a piece ‘of mechanism as it is possible to build when no thought of cost is considered. “Two years ago it occurred to me that if it were possible —at a nominal cost—to duplicate my car minus the they are when I found that you wanted to buy this place I telephoned over to my friend, the president of the First Na- tional, and bought for forty thousand dollars the site you were looking at.

This is an extremely simple method. It It always produces an “automobile.” The other method is to build according to a definite pattern—to model after a selected car of known merit. This method is by no means an easy one, as it involves securing only the highest grade of material—some of which is not used at all in cars of no required standard of merit. luxuries that are wholly unnecessary, the car would meet an immense demand from those ‘who want the vital working parts of the best cars, but who are willing to sacrifice the luxuries and costly extras. “The Enger 40 is the result."" This statement explains many of the features of the Enger car and is the best possible guarantee of its high quality. It explains the size of the car. It explains its style. It explains its rich upholstering. It explains its easy-riding quality. It explains the quletness and power of the engine, And it explains the exceptional finish that is readily noticeable to a trained eye. This car is obviously intended for those genuine quality and refinement— For those who would much prefer to pay $4,000 or $5,000 but who are not ready to do so, and who want the nearest possible approach, at moderate cost, to cars selling at these prices.
