.ANNOUNCING
THE 1916
Saxon Sales Show
Big Increase for
July of This Year
According to Information given out yes
erday by Percy Owen, vice president In
charge of aales. the Saxon Motor com
pany's business for July was almost
double that of the same period a year
ago. The month showed 80 per cent
greater sales In point of number of cars
and considerably more than that In point
of their value. The fact that many of
the orders received specified the six-cyl-
Iner model, whereas a year ago the
Saxon company was building only four
cylinder roadsters partly accounts for the
large proportionate Increase In volume of
buslnoss.
Aa an Indication of the prosperous con
dition of the Saxon Motor company,
orders on one day recently totaled 430 of
the six-cylinder touring and four-cylinder
roadster models.

Four New Ideas
Today there are four new idea in
motor car design:
Light weight
High speed motor
Yacht-line body

Light weight comes from right design

axles, steering gear and other vital
parts is lighter and stronger than or
dinary carbon steel. Vanadium steel,
not only makes better springs, but re
duces their weight
Saon high speed motor design gets
more power with less gas out of a
mall motor than men used to get
out of big, heavy motors. Be
sides, this is a six-cylinder
motor with the even pull
and marvelous flexibility that
only a "Six" can give. Ex
cept for starting the car,
gear shifting Is practically
unknown to Saxon "Six"
owners.
The yacht-line body of Saxon "Six"
exemplifies the latest motor car fashion.
Its very lines suggest swift, easy, mo
tion. Riding comfort for all five passengers
is found 'in the exceptional roominess
of tonneau and driving compartment.
Long, resilient cantilever springs make
rough roads easy.
If you seek speed Saxon "Six" has it.
This car rau 490 mileH from Los An
geles to San Francisco in 13 V hours
15 minutes faster that the "Lark,"
the Southern Pacific's fastest train.
If you seek power Saxon "Six" haa
demonstrated it on every famous test
ing hill In the country. At Cniontown, Pa.,
It climbed the twlntlng three-mile mountain
road In fuur minutes and four seconds, de
feating r11 cars In its price class.
