A chassis of theproper height. When the coach builder undertakes to design a body forthe utmost passenger comfort what foundation docs he need above all others? A chassis of the proper height. s When charming lines are an additional object what factor is abso lutely Indispensable for the proper display of his art? A chassis of the proper height. A chassis of the proper height for these purposes will always be a chassis with a low centre of gravity, which, strange to say, is a Consid eration only rarely valued at full weight in designing cars of the Mercer class. But in Mercer it receives full recognition. The Mercer centre of gravity is low. Watch the Mercer hug a rough road surface. Watch its action when the streets are wet. Study its lines, test its seating comfort. Bearing as it docs the Hare's Motors stamp of high approval, Mercer is designed and built with close attention to every point of fundamental excellence.
