; Purchasers Turning
To Cheaper Cars
! "The d-man 1 for In.v priced light

: Ma -.well de-lubuler.
"I imaiiit'c the business of the other
classes of cars has increased in pro
! portion, as this has been a wonderful
I ear for the automobile men.
"One thing, however, which makes
me ibiuk that the sales of light, low
priced cars have gained to a greater
etenl is the fact that so many prole
'ional men and men wdio have larger
cars, are purchasing small cars. 1 he
economv of - r per at ion and ease of
movement in crowds makes the light
model an ideal car for work of this
nature.
"Automobiles are fast being recog
nized as an economic factor in the
I family pleasure fund. I he Maxwell.
I for instance, can be operated for a
j trifle over D cents per mile. This
j proves to be a most enjoyable, as well
las invigorating, form of pleasure. In

1917 GHANT SIX $825
THE 1917 Grant Six can now be inspected on the sales
floors of Grant dealers the country over. There are
over 1200 Grant dealers and they are just as much
delighted with this new model as you will be.
The records of the Grant Six Overhead Valve Motor
in hill climbing; its extraordinary power and equally
extraordinary flexibility and economy are the sort that
make people talk, and in these days of good cars it takes
an extraordinarily good motor to make people talk.
The Grant chassis is simple, strong and thoroughly
efficient. Grant bodies excite comment because of
their roominess and beauty of line and of finish.
Thrre is a quality of workmanship and stability in every
detail of the Grant Six that makes it ea-sy to see the
reason why Grant production has increased this season
to 2(!,n0O cars. Before you buy any car, make it your
business to see and ride in a Grant Six.
