travel 61,800 miles without stopping
average 25.5 miles per gallon of gasoline
ON July 1st 206 Saxon dealers in
all parts of the country, driving
stock model Saxon Sixes, staged
a 300-mile non-stop run to prove the re
markable gasoline economy of "Saxon
Six."
The winner averaged 34 2-3 miles per
gallon of gasoline. The grand average
for the 206 Saxon "Sixes" was 23.5
miles per gallon.
The total distance traveled was 61,800
miles more than twice around the
world nearly 20 times across the con
tinent During the entire 61,800 miles
not a single motor stopped running.
Men from a leading newspaper in each
of the 206 cities acted as official ob
servers, and their affidavits certify to
the correctness of the records.
Stop for a moment and picture to your
self this remarkable scene in its en
tirety. ' .:,
Don't think of just one Saxon "Six"
traveling 300 miles without stopping,
and averaging 23.5 miles per gallon.
Don't think of just one car "tuned to
the minute" for a gasoline test on a
measured gallon of gas over a specially
selected piece of roadway, all condi
tions ideal.
But think of 206 Saxon "Sixes," each
traveling 300 miles without stopping,
meeting every condition of road and
weather, running through -congested
city traffic, through mud, through deep
sand, through rock-strewn canyons,
over hills and mountains and average
country roads.
f And then the full significance of this
average of 23.5 miles per gallon of
: gasoline will strike you.
This country-wide Saxon "Six" test
proves what any Saxon owner could
do with his own car. Remember that
in most instances, each Saxon "Six"
carried five passengers.
Ask yourself' (if you would know just
how great an achievement this is) what
other car, of equal size and power at
less than $1,000, could match this
record.
Yet, after all, the average of 23.5 miles
per gallon of gasoline is not the only
remarkable thing about this 61,800
mile run. '
For there is the fact that not a single
one of these 206 motors stopped run
ning once.
There is the fact that no mechanical
troubles occured.
There is the fact of the extraordinary
stability and strength of Saxon "Six"
that this run establishes.
In no other way could the pledge of
STRENGTH, ECONOMY, SERVICE,
made to Saxon "Six" owners by the
Saxon Motor Car Corporation, be
proved more vividly, more clearly,
more impressivly than by this perform
ance of the car itself.
