principle! of construction of the Cote

more than 1X00,000,000 and who contrtbuto

apolls tonight after a two day's standard

Car company at the Columbia club :n
Indianapolis In addition to the parts
makers, practically all of the Cole dis

and Canada were in attendance. The
object of the conference was to work
but clearly In the mind of all concerned
the real , significance of the third and
new type of automobile-the standarlzed
car. Clear headed speeches were made
by the representatives from all the parts
makers, and at the end of the conference
it was the unanimous consensus of
opinion that tho most Important meeting
thus far In the history of the motor car
had transpired.
J. J. Cole, president of tho Cole Motor
Car company, said "The significance of
thlsjraeetiner cannot be over estimated
BndVlll not be appreciated until the news
is a trifle older. These men I speak of,
the parts makers, not our distributers,
show by their presence that they un
qualifiedly endorse the system of stan
dardized building as introduced by the
Colo Motor Car company and that they
believe tho user of motor cars is ready
and Insistent for a better motor car
value at less money. The only way that
the best results can be obtained In auto
mobile -building Is to build strictly from
the recognized parts."

I?OR the. past season, the Paige "36" at $1275 has been recog
nized by everybody as such extra value that it has had no competition.
Manufacturers and dealers with cars selling at similar prices have
declared the Paige "36" "a gift" at the price. They haven't even
hoped to compete with it They have been content to get their share
of the business that we couldn't handle.
The equipment of the Paige "36" is universally acknowledged to be of a character
and completeness only found on the highest priced cars. But bear this in mind it is the Paige car itself,
not equipment, that has demanded the consideration of the trade and public alike and that is respon
sible for its overwhelming popularity. Clothes don't make the man and neither does equipment make a
motor car. It is the superior design, the unusual mechanical features, the power and flexibility of the
i c.i r: ; i. r i t u: i 1 j: J i i: t
Paige "36" throughout that have kept the thousands of Paige owners, in all parts of the world, enthusiV f
astic over their cars and made every one of them a Paige "booster." No amount of equipment could J
possibly accomplish this if the car ifee(rwas.not right When you come to look at the Paige car, if yoa .
are not an automobile expert bring one with you. You can judge the equipment yourself, but let pirn
judge the Paige construction. He will tell you that entirely aside from the equipment, no other car has
ever been produced at anywhere near the price that will give you as much in fine amstruction,
size, power, economy, comfort and style as the Paige. These are the quahties.oajjhich, it. will
pay you well tp judge your motor car.
It is hard to realize that the price of the Paige "36" is only $1275."' A really big, roomy'carjlifrlrich
wheel base; left side drive and center control, a powerful, quiet 4x5-inch Paige motor; unit power plant;
silent chain drive for cam shaft, pomp and generator; deep tilted 10-inch cushions and a score of other features of
design and construction which place this car beyond competition. As for equipment, in every detail, from starter
to tail-lamp, it is all of the highest class.
Last year a lot of big men in the trade said we couldn't afford to sell the Paige "36" for $1275, and flat
we wouldn't continue that price. After three or four months the same big men in the trade alarmed at our sweep
ing supremacy said, "They're making a strong play for popularity now, but watch out for their 1914 price."
Well tho 1014 price U $1273, Just the same. Not a dollar added In cost to yoa, bat look at the added eqaJprneotr Wyrtrfw
Hors, J illy Cartalas, Combined XUiin-Vialoa and Ventilating Windshield, Non-Stdd Tirea in the rear, and Ventilated Hood.
All of this is added on for 1914 and the price remains the same. If the Paige "36" has been sensational vahsa
this year and for every car delivered there havo been many purchasers waiting what a value it is for the coming
Sari No other car approaches it in value at the price, and you would have to pay four or five hundred dollars more
find more value in any car.
This isn't "advertising talk." It is just the plain old-fashioned unvarnished truth and almost anybody that
knows automobiles will tell you so.
Production has been increasing steadily in the factory and we are able to take care of more purchasers all the
time now. The plant is working day and night Deliveries of the 1914 models are being made as promptly as could
be expected in the case of a success like the Taige "36." Our immense new factory is under construction and oar

The 1914 season will be a distinctive Paige triumph. Keep that in mind. Just as the 1913 season has been a1
Paige triumph. Because in the Paige "36" and the Paige "25" the public finds extra value which no other car can give.1

From this date we will equip the Paige "25" with -an electric starting and lighting system for $75 extra.'

tires; sturdy, silent motor, 3x4 Inches; unit power plant; cork insert multiple disc clutch; wide doors; roomy body. '
Previous models of the. Paige "25" laid the foundation for the high reputation of the Paige Car. For the past two years, especially, the "25"
has been recognized as a splendid, reliable car at a low price. And all this time we have worked steadily on refinements and tHt hnnrovementa
many of which are found in this year's model.
