ro- the to we “he ne. Fifteen Features of the Jeffery Four HE Jeffery high speed mono-bloc motor is powerful, light and eco- nomical. It will travel, without vibration, twenty miles per hour on low, forty on second, fifty on direct and fifty- five on fourth. The oiling system is the latest—com- bination force feed and splash. Oil is carried in the crank case and pumped to the bearings with dips for lubricating the cylinders. We made this car light in weight and light running to reduce fuel consumption, vibration and tire expense. Economy is the result. This car has speed, snap and go. It will remind you of a wiry western pony. You can speed up the Jeffery Four to forty miles, shut off your engine and coast half a mile. With Imported annular ball bearings throughout, it rolls so easily. The mere pressure of forty-five pounds will start it rolling on the floor. All manufacturers know that the U. S. L. starting and lighting system is the most expensive and is protected by ex- clusive patents. We know, by experi- ence, that it is the best for the Jeffery. Another car, selling for $3250, charges $200 extra for this equipment, which we include in our $1550 price. The leather universal between the clutch and transmission marks a great step toward silence and efficiency. Daimler proved that to the satisfaction of Europe. We tested it for thousands of miles before we adopted it on the Jeffery Four and Six. Rothschild of New York designed the bodies of the Jeffery Four and Six.

HE Jeffery Six has many of the best fea- tures of the highest priced car. It's 2 light—actual scale weight 3700 pounds with full equipment. It's a duplicate of the wonderful Jeffery Four except for size. We built it for the man who prefers a car of this ‘THE JEFFERY SIX, COMPLETE, $2250 type. We made it luxurious without making it extravagant. It’s economical because it is light. It is beautiful to the eye and a delight to drive. It's smooth, flexible and responsive. We believe that a better Six cannot be built, for the simple reason that parts of better quality have yet to be produced. There is a vastly entertaining story to be told about the production of these two cars by this company—it’s a book full of pic- tures and interesting sidelights on this great industry.
