That is question of the utmost importance to every pros
pecttra ear owner. An automobile ie only as good as its
weakest unit One faulty part destroys the efficiency of
the entire car.
There in just as much dif ference in the mechanism of auto
mobiles as there is in the mechanism of watches, and scien
tific construction assures accuracy of operation in both.
The reputation of the Glide Six was established by per
formance not promises. It has given steady, satisfactory
service on all kinds of roads
and under all sorts of condi-'
tions. The Glide is not mere
ly a show car for city boule-,.
vards, but has the strength,
power and endurance neces
sary to climb steep hills and
negotiate ro u gh country
roads.-' -
There is not a single faulty
unit in the Glide "Light Six."
Every unit Is the best that ex
pert mechanical skill can
produce. No unit that is ex-
perimental -none that has not stood the rigid tests of
actual service is ever found in a Glide chassis. Its unit
Power Plant gives ample speed, power and endurance.
The Glide is handsome in design with graceful yacht-line
body, luxurious upholstery and refined appointments that
give pride of ownership and automobile comfort. v
Unit formnit specification for specification the Glide is
the best "Six" at the lowest price for which a car of Stand-,
