Flexible construction, the absence of rigid cross members in the frame, full-elliptic springs and perfect balance of weight keep the wheels to the road. The Holmes swings along in boulevard comfort at from 35 to 40 miles an hour over roads that are ordinarily considered rough, and driven by most cars at speeds not to exceed 15 to 20 mues an hour. The flexible front end construction, made possible by the elimination of the rigid construction necessary when a radiator is carried, accommodates the wheels to the road. The car is not bounced into the air by Toad shocks. The full elliptic springs with a wide easy throw assimilate the blows from the road--they are absorbed in the spring action and not transmitted to the body and the occupants. In swinging corners there is no tendency for the rear end of the car to throw around. The wheels stay on the gronnd with a firm tractive grip. And yet with all this flexibility, the Holmes is unusually steady to drive. Without the slightest feeling of fatigue, greater mileage can be covered in a day than with any other touring car. Added to this superior ability in holding the road is the fuel economy and high tire mileage which has established the Holmes as the most economical of quality cars. A gasoline consumption of 18-20 miles to the gallon, in the air-cooled motor with aeroplane type valves, eight teen valves all in the head, a tire service of 10,000 miles to the set, are proof that high operating cost is no longer necessary in a large, luxurious touring cat and that the price of, economy is no longer restricted carrying capacity and cramped discomfort.
