COLD WEATHER BRINGS BIG
DEMANDJOR NEW SEDAN
WoM comea from the Thoraa B. Jef
fery company. Kenosha, Wis., that cold
weather nas completely snowed under
their body building department. Orders
for the new Jeffery Sedan have stormed
the factory without a letup since the
first real chill of fall crept Into the air.
In fact, the demand continues so heavy
that it la now certain there will not be
enough Pedana to go around. Those deal
ers who put In large order early In the
season are patting themselves on the
back, and the compsny Is recommending
that all buyers who want their ears
promptly will have to order early.
Those who have seen the Bedan remark
on Its beauty of line and finish. Msny
say It Is the first real custom-made en
closed roach to sell at such moderate
price. No one would ever suspect that the
top la removable yet It la, and everyone
who buy the car will have the comfort
and luxury of a closed car this winter
without having to buy touring cr when
summer come.
