America Follows Europe
Returns to "Fours"!
ThisVelie Four Will Displace Any Six!
(at half the cost for maintenance)
Already the average owner is tired of the excessive fuel and tire cost of the heavy " Six," and Europe, the
Dictator of Automobile practice, has come back to the economical "Four." C There only the light "Six"
survives the new highly developed "Four" is supreme. C In this country the type of car now supreme
in Europe (the Velio 4-45) leads the way. Advance orders for this remarkable car are 800 per cent
greater than last year in the face of the tremendous shout for "Sixes" made by so many manufacturers.
We Build The (1000 Lbs. Lighter)
"Velie Six" Why!
Hecnuso tlio oxpcrlenco of Kuropo has taught us how to build !i
real Liifht "Six."
A ''Six1 that weighs less carrying a load of six people than tlio
average "Six" weighs empty.
A certain small percentage) of owners may always want a "Six."
And this (1000 Lbs. Lighter) "Six" actually competes with
"lurs" of tlio samo sizo anil jiower In economy of operation.
Hut even our output of this i-markahlo car is greatly restricted.
And what we build will be built practically on order forourdealers.
Velie Output of "Fours" to be Doubled
Trebled if Possible!
Tlio Velio alono (with possibly ono other high-grade American
factory) has accepted tho verdict of Europe and is conllnlng Its big
output to "Fours."
Additional factory buildings havo so far enabled us to supply tlio
now Velio 4-45 in sulllclent quantity.
Hut already Velio dealers aro booking hundreds of orders from
"Six" owners who in less than one season havo discovered the useless
oxpenso of owning a heavy "Six."
Why "Sixes ' Will Not Supersede "Fours"
Manufacturers went to "Sixes" to get a smoothness of running
they could not get from "Fours" of tlio ordinary type.
Hut Unlay in Europe tlio highly perfected methods of balance
construction make tlio 4-cyllnder car as llexlblo and smooth-running
as the "Six."
And 4-cylindcr economy can never bo obtained from a 0-cylinder
car.
So, practically, tlio only difference between tho new Velio "Four"
and tlio ordinary "Six" Is in weight and tiro and fuel expense.
Ask any owner of a heavy "Six" ichut thut difference tul
Lighter Than Other 4-Cylinder Cars of the
Same Size and Power
Consequently much moro jwwer for speed or hill-climbing.
Wonderful riding ease with samo speed over rough country roads,
comfort equal to that of any "Six."
For tho long, wldo springs, oversizo tiros and balanced construc
tion produeo wonderful riding values.
Conspicuously beautiful in design, upholstery, and excellence in
finish tho Velio car is remarkable.
Its complete equipment is practically tlio samo as that In cars
selling for 2000 or 3tXX) more Tho very best.
