Once Again We Must Ask
You To Place Your Order
Before It Is Too Late
Two weeks ago, we published an advertisement urging you to act QUICKLY
in placing your order for a Paige, seven-passenger "Six-46."
At that time, we told you of the overwhelming demand for this model.
We told you that the factory was literally flooded with orders and predicted
that there would be a shortage in the very near future.
Well all that we said in that advertisement is now DOUBLY IMPORTANT.'
SINCE THAT TIME, EVERY SINGLE PAIGE DEALER ON OUR BOOKS
HAS APPEALED TO THE FACTORY IN AN ATTEMPT TO IN
CREASE HIS ALLOTMENT. This statement astounding though it
may seem is the actual, literal truth.
And at the time this advertisement is written, our March orders for the Fairfield
Model alone amount to ONE MILLION, FIVE HUNDRED AND
FIFTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS. This represents 1,200 cars.
These are cold, uncompromising figures the kind of evidence that no man
can deny.
So, now, it is only a matter of a short time before Paige dealers will be com- f
pelled to refuse any orders for the Fairfield which are placed subject to
"immediate delivery." g
We are doing everything
bo far, our tremendously increased production
. most of our distributors.
But with the spring retail season almost at hand
dition cannot continue. Soon we shall be compelled to iappor-jtion qui
production to the best of our ability and many

Such in plain terms is
AGE OF "FAIRFIELDS" IS COMING,
Surely, after two such
interests and see the
possible.
And now after turning these facts ovei in your mind" you will find yourself,
face to face, with one inevitable conclusion.
(The REASON for this overwhelming demand must be based upon the consistent
day-in and day-out performance of the "Fairfield' in the hands of thousands
of owners. This is the truest and safest oj all tests.
No other construction can be placed upon such decided preference on the part
of men who know automobiles. In short, the "Fairfield" leads in demand '
because it leads in "value received."
