WOODS' MOBILETTE 1 I WHAT WILL IT DO ON COUNTRY ROADS? Below are extracts from letters received from various sections of the United States. These brief extracts tell of the superior performance of the WOODS MOBILETTE, with its 36-inch tread, on all kinds of country roads. Every quotation contained in this circular refers to WOODS’ MOBILETTE, and is guaranteed to be genuine. The originals of the letters from which these extracts were taken are on file at our executive offices—and we have hundreds of others.

Through Sand, Swamps, Mud and Palmetto Shrubs "There are rip spoil roads in this country. Our route took us through sand, swamps, mud and . palmetto shrubs, through water up to the running board and through Wash-outs in which only narrow strips of road-way were left. The car' pulled through without a single unnecessary stop and we arrived without having had the slightest difficulty of any kind.”—-Florida. Supreme As a Traffic Dodger "The Wood’s , Mobilette is fine for St. Paul streets. The narrow tread takes up less room on the .narrow streets and, consequently, cun get through the traffic bet-ter,’’—-Minnesota. Takes Snow and Ice Where Others liose Control "Since having the car we have had plenty" of this locality. I was called dot long ago to Lowell, Indiana, a distance of twelve miles, and made the trip each way in about twenty minutes Without trying to establish a record. Could have done better but took ordinary precaution on hills and curves. Tt is a little hummer and an ideal doctor’s car. On this trip I saw three large automobiles which had jumped out of the track and landed in the ditch on account of the icy condition of the roads, the skid chains not being able to hold them.”—lndiana. Nothing But Mountains "l made one trip from Pen Argyl to Wilkesßarre, Pennsylvania, a distance of about twenty-five miles, over a mountain road, and up mountains where there wasn’t a farm house for sixteen miles—nothing but mountains. (l’ocono Mountains.) It certainly was wonderful bow this little car • limited those steep hills.” —Pennsylvania. % Goes Bight Along Every Day Through Thick and Thiu 1 recently drove my car 45 miles at a Cost of 19 cents, and half of the trip was in a hard storm. Now, it is a known fact that there is not so much danger in driving a small car as with.the heavy one. Note that nearly all of our accidents are with the heavy cars. I struck a tree going at a 35-mile gait with the .uobilette shown in the enclosed picture. I admit the car was hurt some, but I was not; only one slight scratch. In all probability had I been driving a heavy car i should not ever had a chance to have written this letter. Eastern people, as a rule, are conservative; they looked at my little car for the first few weeks as though they thought it could not last, but now after six months of u§e, and they see it go right

along every day through thick and\thin. they have shown great respect for i t.”-—Connecticut. Has Nothing But Country Boads to Bide On. "ft gets over the country roads as well, or better, than most any car. To argue that it is not a car for country roads is wrong, for I have nothing but country roads to ride on. While learning to operate the car, I am getting right at 200 miles out of five gallons of gas.”—Missouri, Covers Hills On High Oear “I can cover hills now on the high gear that I could not possibly do with my — : car.” Pennsylvania. Over the Worst Boads He Ever v Saw "I drove the. car to Nazareth and had my wife and her friend in the car, and we drove up a 45 per cent grade at the rate of 25 miles per hour on high gear. I mink the car is a remarkable piece of machinery, and so does everyone who rides in it The 38-inch tread makes no difference as to roads. I have driven it over the worst roads I ever saw.” —-Pennsylvania. Just the Size to Oet Over Bad Places “I have taken several country trips and the machine performs nicely. It is just the size to get over bad places with ease that all other cars fail to negotiate.”— Tennessee. Mud and Chuck Hole Hub Deep “The roads around Harvey include some very good ones, and I think some of the worst I ever rode over, mud and chuck holes hub degp, but the little car didn’t seem to mind it at all. This trip alone paid me for my visit to Harvey.”—lndiana. Goes Without Trouble Where Other Cars Could Hot “Have been in sr.ow where no other car would attempt to go. (Couldn’t if they would) and could go right ort, without trouble on account of narrow tread.” — lowa. Over the Sierra Nevadas "I just returned from a trip over the Sierra Nevadas, and must say that my little car worked like a clock. I was very much pleased the way it plowed through dust and up hill.” —California. Five Passengers Dp a 35 Per Cent Grade ' "1 recently took this car on a test up a steep grade with myself and four voting girls in it, which made a load of dyer 575 pounds. It took the hill at the rate of 14 miles per hour. The grade was 35 per cent.—Pennsylvania.

More Bridges Thay Any Other Connty "This is one of the worst counties in the United States in regard to roads, hills, etc., having more bridges than any county in the United States, but regardless of this fact, upon every demonstration, my car has negotiated every hill and traversed the most miserable roads satisfactory in every way,”—Ohio. The Mobilette Beats Them All "For comfortable, easy riding qualities, road adaptibility and downright honest construction, the Mobilette beats them all.” — Missouri. - Over Fifty Miles to the Gallon of Gas ‘T made the trip from Chicago in twelve hours and had very bad roads. There were places that the roads —well, they were simply fierce. While the distance from our city to Chicago is about 220 miles, I figure that I drove better than 25 miles out of my way getting there. On my trip I used five gallons of gas and a quart and one-quarter of oil, but on the return trip everything was different. I went by another road and the way that little car performed was wonderful, indeed. I made the distance —220 miles —on four gallons and a quarter of gas and less than a quart of oil, with no trouble of any kind.”—(This is at the rate of over 50 miles per gallon of gasoline.)—Michigan.' Adauts Itself to Any Kind cf Bo ad "The narrow tread adapts itself to any kind of road, and the exceedingly long wheel base makes it a v'efy easy riding car.”—Missouri. Dp Hills On High With Pour Passengers ”1 took three of my friends in mv Mobilette to Lorraine, Ohio. Vou will no doubt wonder how I managed to get three people in the back seat, but we did it all right. They nad to stick their feet out of the Mobilette and it looked very comical, but the Mobilette rambled right along and climbed every hill we came to on high speed. Mind you, I didn’t change the shifting levers once. You certainly have a great engine in this car. The ease with which it climbs hills is surprising and we have some, pretty steep hills here. There are some roads that some cars have to change their gears in going up hill which the Mobilette takes with ease. I have been all around this part of the country, and have gone over all kinds of roads, and can truthfully Say that, it can go over any kipd of a road, and can go where some big cars cannot go.”—Ohio.
