" Just a few are all we’ve space for. mere than any other car in the world, irrespective of price. This means much greater strength and durability as compared with castings. It means, too, a much .more perfect' interchangeability of parts because drop forgings permit an absolute accuracy of machining impossibly with castings and we think that every part of the R-C-H is more readily accessible than any other car at any price. The motor is the first adaptsoll in this country of the long

stroke idea so successful abroad and, the motor is really long stroke, 3%x5, with just the proper relation of stroke to bore that the best engineering practice has demonstrated to be so economical and efficient. It should be borne in mind that merely making the stroke of a motor long and widening the bore correspondingly does not acheive the much desired long stroke effect. The drive is left side. The only sensible drive for American road rules and the control is center lever, out of the way, yet most convenient to

the operator and at his right hand. Come see the car and judge it for yourself, that’s all we ask.

The R-C-H motor is silent in operation, exceptionally economical of oil and ga-01-ine and because of the long stroke (5 inches) it will take the car through heavy roads and up the hills with a maximum load. Lubrication is by the constant level splash system. On the left hand side is the Bosch magneto, on the right is the carburetor, eliminating the danger of fire and permitting the gas to pass along the water jackets and between t'he cylinders. . The R-C-H k. as nearly unbreakable as a motor car can be made. A right hand pedal op, rates the external brake. .Brakes have equalizer bars, which .renders impossible the application of the brakes to one wheel more than the other. This eliminates unequal lire wear and the possibility of skidding when applying the brakes. The left hand pedal releases the clutch at first and then appjie, the internal brake if so desired, a slight movement locks this brake in any desired position. The rear axle, instead of being in the center as is usually the case with lower priced cars, is constructed h, „ u .’ Piece with a cap at the rear, permitting the .removal of the differential and rear axle shafts. Note the clean cut appearance of this car, swung low to the ground, insuring it keeping the road. 1 1 inch road clearance. No brake rods, step hangers, door handles or hinges in view. * One-piece windshield tu>s either forward or backward. We can’t tell, you all about this car in an advertisement;, you’ve got to see and test it for..yourself. Write for booklet describing the R-C-H sent free on request. B "cr see the car itself. Write or phone; we will gladly call and explain the high cla-s features of this car. We are, also ✓epresentativas of the “Chalmers” line which vary in price from $1,500 to $3,400. The Chalmers Motor Company and, the R-C-H Corporation are two of the soundest automobile manufactures financially in the industry. This is a very important consideration when buying an automobile.
