Salt among tho swiftest fleet,

Laughing- al the storms you meet,
Tou can stand amonir tho sailors
Anchored set within the bay,
Tou ein lend a hand lo help them
As they launch their boats away.
If sou ars too weak to Journey
t'p tho mountain, steep and high,
Tou can stand within Iho valley
Whllo tho multitude goes bj
Tou can chant tn happy tneasuro
As they slov ly pass along,
Though they msy forget the singer.
Tins will not forget the song
If imi have not trnld and silver

Many grains, both ripe nnd golden

Growing rsnk against the wall
For It mas be that the shadows

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,

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

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. Taking the points of motor-car
satisfaction indicated above, we will enter the 1921 Briscoe in a series of competitive tests,
with the American Automobile Association or any other impartial motoring organization aa
the judge. The tests are to involve a thorough try-out of every car on every point, and
each car is to be given a comparative rating by the judges on each test.
And to every motor-car buyer we offer the same opportunity for the most thorough test
Come in and study the car; then let us demonstrate in any way you wish. Give us a chanc
to prove our statement the 1921 Briscoe xa the best car built today.
