Detroit, Mich. Gentlemen: I have owned several cars, nil of them fine. I drove these cars nearly 300,000 miles and began lo think I knew something about automobiles. When the Lincoln came out I did not need a new car but my sixteen-year-old son persuaded me to take a ride. After driving the Lincoln I told your distributor I should like to see the car more fully demonstrated. His salesman took me for a ride varying from three to seventy-six miles an hour. I went over the car inch by inch. It was so good that in three days I was the possessor of a Lincoln. This car has been driven by me nnd my child ren 3,700 miles. It has so many good features that I could write a long letter describing them. It is the easiest-riding, strongest, most depend able automobile I have ever ridden in, nnd it gives me great satisfaction to tell you so. No money could buy this testimonial. Very sincerely, EDWARD S. HART Webster Grove, Mo. March 25, 1921 Sweeten Automobile Company 441-451 North Broad Street LELAND Philadelphia, Pa. Wi Stfe-s aP .0:1 A .An. I ttr BRI SGOE The Trustworthy Car A Direct and a Statement nge Challe The motoring public has grown tired of the one-feature car the car that stresses one point of satisfaction to the exclusion of all others. An unusual motor a freak spring suspension the winning of a race a stunt or an unproved departure from standard design is not a safe criterion for judging a motor car. Every feature of desirability must be taken into consideration. And on that toasis we're making one definite statement. The 1921 Is the Best Car Briscoe Built Today and we will prove it What Combined Qualifications Make the Best Car Let's put them down, and give each one the value to the average purchaser aa shown by careful an alysis taking 100 points for all. 1. Reliability Thin subdivides itself into Engineering efficiency 6 High-grade materials 7 Accurate workmanship 6 Balanced design 4 2. Power Ample power in relation to weight for speed, hill and road ability, without costly excess 1 5 23 15 4. Economy of operation Gasoline and oil consumption 14 Tire mileage 7 Low cost of maintenance 6 Appearance and Convenience Style 11 Comfort 1 1 Ease of operation 5 27 27 S. Price Based, of course, on what you get per dollar 8 How the Briscoe Meets These Qualifications Take the 1921 Briscoe and measure it against perfection 1. Reliability The 1921 Briscoe is a car light in weight, yet pos sessing the maximum of strength. This has meant the development of special uteelB; it meant the pur chase of hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of machinery much of it specially designed so that we could make all the essential parts of the car in our own great plants. It meant a careful study of motor-car design here and abroad. And it means now 100 per cent plus in sturdiness, strength and durability. 2. Power The Briscoe has a remarkable reserve of power that carries it almost without effort wherever wheels will track. Hills that make most cars overheat and drop back to second speed are taken on high, with never a trace of motor-labor or boiling. Sand and mud have no terrors for the wonderful power-plant. You can read ily prove this for yourself in a demonstration spin. 3. Economy of Operation The Briscoe motor is world-famous for low fuel consumption. Owner's records of 20-25 miles to the gallon are the usual thing. The amount of unsprung weight has been so reduced and the car so perfectly balanced that tires seem almost everlasting. And tht chassis is so simple and sturdy that few adjustments are necessary, and those are easily made. 4. Appearance and Convenience It was Briscoe who originated the idea that beauty is not a matter of dollars and cents. Compare tho appearance of the popular-priced car of a few years ago with today, and you will realize the great in fluence of Briscoe design-ideas. Briscoe, too, first realized that comfort was just as essential in die low-priced car as in its expensive brother. That is why, today, you can ride all day in a Briscoe over the country roads without feeling tired. And a child can operate it. 5. Price That means not alone the actual number of dollars you pay, but what you get for each dollar. Briscoe today gives you more automobile value and more automobile satisfaction per dollar than any car oa the market, bar none. We Challenge a Comparative Test To any car, and all cars, we make this definite challenge.
