You know to a woman most electrics look alike, are upholstered alike, are equally comfort" able. But they do not run alike. , How do yoa know? ' ' . I've looked it up. There is a wide difference between them in the number of miles they can travel on a charge in the cost of running v. them. The Baker has the mileage record; has always had it And it cottt lets to operate? x Exactly. You see, a Baker hasn't a' lot of dead weight to lug around. It weighs less than any other equal powered car. And people tell me that its high speed motor is vastly more effi cient than the more cumbersome type of slow motors used in other cars. Less battery equipment is required ; and battery equip ment costs money, you know. Well, well, what a head yoa have, daughter. ' . You've got more tense than the average man.
