The 18th Regiment has voted unanimous
ly that there are more pretty girls at home
than at Mount Gretna. But then it might
bo said that said boys have been rather
busy of lato and have doubtless missed
some of tho many sights In these parts.
Why not have them take a trip down

Introducing the New Series
In the New Series Paige Fairfield "Six-46,"
we introduce the most completely
equipped motor car that can be pur
chased on the American market abso
lutely irrespective of price.
This is a broad claim a sweeping claim.'
But like every other statement made in
the announcements of this company, it
is the actual, literal Truth. Any com
parative investigation will establish the
fact convincingly.
And, when we speak of "complete equip
ment," please understand that we refer
to every luxury and convenience that can
contribute to the comfort of motoring.
The New Series Fairfield is a complete car
a finished car. From every standpoint it
represents the last word in elegance
and luxury.
Right now we might attempt to describe
for you the many features that have
been added to this greatest of all light
Sixes. Even a partial list of accessories
would startle the man who believes that
extreme motoring comfort is necessarily
a matter of prohibitive cost.
But we do not purpose to confine ourselves
to descriptions, for this is one instance
where mere words fail completely.
To appreciate this car you must see it,
ride in it, drive ii. Then, and then only,
can you understand what a thoroughly
great achievement it represents. Then,
and then only, will you realize that
$1375 marks the utmost investment

that any one need make for the utmost
in automobiling.
And please don't accept this statement
lightly or too skeptically. At least do
yourself justice by checking up the facts.
So let us make you a definite proposition. Go
to the show room of the Paige dealer where
this new car is on exhibition. Ask him to
give yon a thorough demonstration over
any road conditions that you may select.
Then, when yoa return to automobile row,
drive the Paige right up along side any
motor car that is now offered on the
American market and compare the two
feature for feature.
See for yourself whether the Fairfield is lack
ing in any one detail that argues for great
er efficiency, comfort or luxury. See if
any car at any price can offer more
intrinsic value than the Fairfield at $1373.
If we have overstated our case, you will
know it just the minute that you have
completed such, a comparison. If, on
the other hand, we are right andwesin
cerely believe that we are then you will
have done yourself a real service and we
shall both be the gainers.
Surely no proposition could be fairer than
this. Surely no intelligent man can
afford to purchase any car until he has
made an impartial investigation of this
kind.
Will you see the new Paige Fairfield
today?
