' When the holes are many, the ruts deep, and the road shocks
' severe what feature of design docs most to minimize the jar to human
nerves? 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.
