PERFORMANCE is the factor behind the success of Fisk
Heavy Car Type Tires. . Their rapidly increasing sale is due to
the verdict of car owners who, once using them, buy again for
their own cars and recommend them to their friends. "You are urged
to inquire among many Fisk Tire users" because we can present no
stronger argument than the everyday service Fisk Equipment is giving.
MILEAGE and DIRECT REPRESENTATION combine to make
the only semce" that really interests any buyer. It is THAT
SERVICE upon which the success of Fisk Tires is founded.

FLANDERS "20" ENJOYS that Bappy-stal today to
an extent greater than any other car. And because
there is more value more automobile, mora qaahty
of performance, and better looks, then ia any other W
or 2Morse power car ia the whole world at b erioa.
AND IT ISNT CHEAP at any point Bettor steel ia
aot used in any automobile oa earth. Oat thai any
regardless of pric. W uee the best th adencs of
metallurgy and of autonsobfle engineering can specify,
IN APPEARANCE It is Just what yon bar bee
looking for, a smaller edition of a high-powered, high
priced car. It look $3,000 it eelli for $900.
WE FIND TWO CLASSES of people, moeth, buy
Flanders "20" cars.. V
FIRST: DISCRIMINATING FOLK who will not
have will not be teen in a poorly -made, noisy,
under-powered and cheap looking car at any price.
THESE HAVE WAITED for years for the arrival of
a car the man of pride but nxxlerate means could buy
and drive with pleasure. They found it in Flanders
"20" ss in no other light car. But the people ar .
conservative too they don't car to tak risks or to
experiment with new models.
SO THEY. WATCHED Flsnders "20" thro three sea
sons. The first, the usual discovery and corrective stage
n was like most other new models. Then she struck
7 her gait and for two seasons past she has-beea
' steadily forging ahead till now ah leads undisputed,
THERE ARE TWO WAYS to buy an automobile.
One is to buy a cheap car because it ia cheap ia price
i, and then pay in installments the difference between
that and the value of a good car la repair and
replacements of inferior partsand then find you
have nothing.
THE BETTER WAY is to determine just what ia th
lowest pric at which a really first class 20 horse-.
power car can be made. Decide which car ia backed
by the best reputation for quality and service after
ward. Then pay that difference in th first place aad
have not only quality but a car that ia appearance aa
well u performance will be oa your family will b
proud to ride in. .
THAT'S FLANDERS "20" if yon search tbe world
over you will decide that way.
WHY, FRANCE BUYS Flanders "20V. to an extent
greater than any other car mad oetaide Fnme. Ger
many also; Belgium, Italy, England, W exported
4.000 Flanders "SO's" last year. Of what other Amer
ican car caa this be said? -
EVEN THE GREAT E-M-F' "80" does not enjoy th
demand abroad that Flanders "20" does. The "30" is
essentially an American product made for American
roads. The "20" accurately conforms to European
ideals and engineering standards and ia coometitioa
with their owa it sells as fast as we caa supply them,
APPEARANCE is worth while-is worth all it coats.
Beauty is more thaa skJa deep fat a motor car. Has
to be made good to look good. A "tin car" cannot
but look "tinny." v
YOU'LL FIND ITS CHEAPER by the eed of th
first year to pay the $150 to $200 more aad owa a
Flanders "20" that looks tbe pert aa well aa perfociaa
it a car in which the repair and mainlrrainre bill
are practically nilr-than to pay leas aad get so much
lea. And have everybody know k too.
BUT YOU'LL HAVE TO HURRY if yoa expect t
get a Flanders "20" this Spring. There ha! aa bote
to lose. Yoa may be too late bow your local dealer
may be sold pp to hi full allutuiML If so, w can't
help him. Only way to to as htm at one aad get
your order ia.
AND DON'T EXPECT tbe dealer, fast bseaas yon
