Here is the closed car that you have been
waiting for the first all-metal, six-cylinder,
50-horsepower sedan ever offered at or even
near $1395 f. e. b. Detroit.
All steel construction with four tightly fitting
doers, and an entire back that is one solid
stamping without joints or gaps in'the metal.
Thus the annoyance of squeaks, rattles and
vibration is precluded.
The interior is artistic perfection, thickly and
tastefully upholstered, beautifully appointed,
provided with necessities and luxuries alike,
bpacieus seats accommodate five adults com
fortably. But with this beauty, comfort and refinement,
the Jewett houses the mighty Paige-built six
cylinder, 50-horsepower meter that sweeps
you along at sixty miles an hour or throttles
clown te three. Then underlying all is a chassis
that bears the stamp of engineering genius.
As much at home where fashionable cars as
semble as en the open read where power alone
