A GREATER CAR a finer cara more luxuri
ous car and a reduction of one hundred
dollars in price.
Here in a nutshell is the most important auto
mobile announcement of this seaaon.
You all know this car.
You know of its instantaneous success at the auto
mobile 6hows last January.
You know that everywhere it has been welcomed
and praised as the year's greatest single achievement in the
motor car industry.
You know that in six short months it has set the
standard by which all light Sixes must be judged.
You know that it has been conceded to be the most
beautiful, the most distinctiveand the most widely copied car
produced by any manufacturer.
And, now, the price haa not only been reduced to
the amazing figure of $1295.
But
We offer you MORE distinction MORE luxury
MORE beauty than you wert dbl to purchase at tht higher prict.
Such is the latest and greatest achievement of the
Paige-Detroit Motor Car Company.
Such is the announcement which thousands of
motorists have been eagerly waiting to hear.
Now indeed comes your opportunity to satisfy
that longstanding desire and cum the finest of all light sixes a
Paige "Fairfield Six-46,"
New Features in the "Fairfield Slx-46"
When we say that the new "Fairfield" is a greater
and jiner Sin we mean precisely what the words imply.
. The only changes which have been made in this car
are distinct and obvious improvtmenti.
You will find for instance, that the top is now made
of genuine Pantasote instead of Mohair.
Inside the car, the upholstery has been changed to
the finest French Glaze hand-buffed leather. No amount of
money can buy a finer quality of leather, hair or springs for
upholstering.
Scrupulous care has been given to the finish of the
"Six-46," and you will now find a "paint job" which cannot be
bettered in America. It requires twenty-four days to finish the
long graceful body in its Paige Richelieu blue and the running
gear has been effectively set off with a warm red.
At every point you will find better workmanship
finer material Xamfoomr appointments.
We have deliberately set out to make the "Fairfield"
the Vist word in six cylinder elegance and luxury. We have
spared neither pains nor money to accomplish our purpose.
When you actually see the wonderful improvements
which have been made, you will find it difficult to reconcile so
much real value with the greatly decreased price.
And, now, let us say a word about "price."
This has been a strenuous season in the motor car
field an especially strenuous season in the light six division.
Prices have been slashed right and left. Bold, in
temperate "claims" have been made and it has, perhaps, been
difficult for the public to separate the wheat from the chaff.
But no matter what the "claims" may be the
public is concerned first and last with Quality 6at'c quality
fundamental quality.
So, this is the year of all years when you must inves
tigate and analyze before you finally decide to make your invest
ment in an automobile.
Only too often a cut in price means a proportionate
cut in quality. A car, you must remember, can be refined" to
the point where all of the goodness is taken out of it.
Therefore, make it a point first of all to critically
invettigate the car which you propose to buy. Pay attention to
the little details quite as well as the big ones. Actually tatitfy
yourself that price reduction has not meant quality reduction.
It is on this basis that we want you to consider the
Taige.
In plain terms, ask the Paige Dealer to prove to you
that the "Six-46" is all that it ever was and a great deal more.
Or better still, look up a friend who drives a "Fair
field." Take him to the Paige Agency and let him point out the
new improvements quite as well as the old basic quality.
Let him tell you in his own words why this car is
the greatest value for the money ever offered to the American
public.
Proceed in the 6ame way with any other light sixes
that you have in mind. See if they will stand the test of such a
critical investigation.
Then, form your own conclusions. That's all we ask.
