lIP-TO-DMX People like to be up-to-date in what they do-in what they buy-it what they sell Never before has a motor car, selling at any price, embodied so many recognized up-to-date features as does the R-C-H. It was practually the first car in America to adopt the English body. Then there is the full equipment, leaving no needed accessory for the purchaser to buy, so that the R-C-H is a complete automooile in every sense. The long stroke motor, cast en bloc with extremely large bearings and enclosed valves, Bosch single system ignition, which meets the severest tests of the furiously hard taxicab service, and left side drive with right hand center control and the three speed, sliding gear selective transmission is a few of the many up-to-date features that are embodied in the R-C-H. While a pleasure car, it will serve admirably for business or traveling. We have samples on our floors, let us demonstrate this car and prove its superior features. Will you do it?
