Here is the Car You Should Buy Now For the Following Reasons: The New Regal "25" Underslung Touring Car DFaVCTiM Ml TMRCD rtWC T - - J .L .L t t ... . , . V REASON NUMBER ONE Tiy and match the value of .- e a. .. . . uus car u you can. Automobiles are bought today by comparison and comparison is the strongest argu ment we can present for your consideration of this new Regal"25" Underslung Touring Car. By that, we mean the quality of the materials put into the car, the suprem- acy oi its design, tne excelling "market and own ers" value of its price consideration and the factors of horse power, size and proven ability. REASON NUMBER TWO Comparison proves'its superior value, now we'll emphasize its construction. We made the first "Underslung" Touring Car that sold for less than $4000. .We offer in this car the first Underslung Touring Car to sell for less than $1000. To own an "Underslung" at any price is to possess a "safer" car, a more "comfortable" car, an "easier riding" car, a more "economical" car, a more "accessible car, than cars can possibly embody that are built the "ordinary" way. To say nothing of the "advanced" engineering . construction that "Underslung" means. REASON NUMBER THREE Try and think of how many V Touring Cars of established reputation you can buy for less than $1000. Here is a "25" Horse Power Under slung Touring Car not only under $1000, but offering supreme advantages in beauty of design and con structional merit. At the big Automobile Shows, deal- ers and our manufacturing competitors frankly and openly admitted that it was the "one" car exhibited that could boldly claim "the most for the money" and without question "the best for the money." OTHER REASONS The motor of the Regal "25" Under slung Touring Car has been used in ten thousand Regal mission, that most important pari of a chassis, is of the power and size usuallv found in 30 and 40 Hnru Pnurr Touring Cars selling for so high as $2500. The Ton neau is roomy and most comfortable, the wheel base most liberal, the beauty of body line unsurpassed. The car not only "looks" different but it different. A car that keeps hundreds of dollars in the pocketbook because it antedate all reasons why any man should pay more. , MORE REASONS will be demonstrated to you after you have seen this car, tested it on road with load, and critically gone over every inch of it, than can possibly be recounted here. It will capture your aopreciation and prove to you conclusively that the new Regal "25" "Underslung" Touring Car is a standard of value that is unequalled It is the car you will buy now because it is the car by every comparison you should buy now.
