THE PRESIDENT OF FRANCE RIDES IN A MARMON 34 In the inaugural parade held in Paris in February, M. Paul Deschanel, the newly elected president of France, rode in a Marmon 34, as did other dignitaries and high army officers. During the war the French High Commission visiting this country was much impressed with the remarkable showing made by the Marmon 34 in the U. S. 'Army Active Service Jest in the Big Bend district of Mexico. So much so, in fact that they placed orders for several hundred Marmon 34's for the use of the French General Staff. Have you had a ride in the New Series Marmon 34? If not, a new motoring pleasure awaits you. We shall be pleased to give you a demonstration. N0RDYKE & MARMON COMPANY.
