MAY 15th ALL DETROIT ELECTRIC
CAR PRICES ADVANCE $100
You Need An Automobile and
the Detroit Electric
v. i " 1 1 '.' .
Is the Most Practical and Economical
Type to Buy
Prices of materials and labor of all types have been steadily ad
vancing for months past This fact naturally affects the auto
mobile manufacturer. '
We have exhausted every effort to keep down the sales price of
Detroit Electric Cars but the time has now come when we, too,
must advance prices, but before we advance, we offer you an op
portunity to buy at present price.
When you buy a Detroit Electric bef ore May 15th, you not only
save $100, but you insure yourself against prohibitive operating
expenses for the future for if you own a Detroit Electric, you
will not have to pay the excessive price for gasoline and oils which
are mounting sky high. Where they will go to, no one can tell.
Further, the car is so simple to operate and so free from mechanical
complication that you need no chauffeur nor mechanical services. Surely
here is an opportunity for a big saving in your automobile service.
The Detroit Electric, with windows lowered, is a perfect car for summer
driving with windows raised, it affords protection from rain, dust and
wind, and offers the privacy of a limousine.
Your cost of current is but $5 to $7 per month. Tire mileage is double
that of the gasoline car. Replacement and adjustment charges are
negligible. . ,
" Surely the modern Detroit is the practical, economical car to meet your
motoring requirements of today.
By buying now you save $100. Don't delay! Make up your mind now
and place your order before it is too late.
