It is in this type of Gasoline Motor Car construction that the char- acter of a manutacturer’s product is most clearly revealed. There is such a chance for imperceptible shoddy work, or such an opportunity for the display of elegance and refinement, that the little thi which d, on the one hand, toward cheapness and on the other toward quality, ina maker's policy, stand out boldly. SAbbott- Detroit Closed Car Bodies are not skimpy, badly fitted, poorly finished, soon becoming squeaky and spotted. They are of the highest grade in every particular, and their mounting is such that they ride easily and do not rumble. The upholstery is thick and yielding and of such a shape as to allow the finest clothing and hats to be worn with ease and without disastrous effects. Both our Coupe and Limousine are well suited for shopping, calling, town car use and theatre going, particularly in inclement weather, when they are always comfortable and snug inside.

In the midst of her talk Greeley interposed in his high pitched, falsetto voice : “What would you do in time of war if you had the suffrage?” This scemed like a poser, but the lady had been before the public too long to be disconcerted by an unexpected ques- tion and she promptly replied “Just what you have done, Mr. Greeley—stay at home and urge others to go and fight,” } Westchester County Magazine. | comicbookMee |
