noel water eNpcriment was car
ried on during the recent all-year rar
ihow week conducted by Kissel Kar
agents throughout the United Slates."
says G. A. Kisel, president of the
Kissel Motor Car company.
"One of the regular all-year cars,
selected by a committee of promi
nent men, was placed under a battery
cf sprinklers so arranged that the
water lnt the car in exactly the same
'a ay as if it was traveling in a regu
lar rainstorm. This test was con
tinued 1'j hours a day for eight days.
t the end of which time the commit
tee thoroughly examined the car. The
result of this unique test is contained
in the following .extract from the affi
davit signed by a member of the
tfommittee: "YVe found the car to
' h? absolutely dry, with no indication
i, of leak at anv part of the interior."
V J he forward end ot the car,
against which the vatcr had been
driven with considerable force dur
ing the entire period, was found to
be absolutely dry. The same was
true toward the back, where the wa
fer fell as much as it would have done
during a severe storm. Paint and
?namel on all parts touched by wa
ter were found to be uninjured. It
had not been disintegrated or even
injured by the .water.
"To my mind, this instance is typi
:al of the advances made by the au
tomobile manufacturers in designing
bodies for automobiles whereby mo
lorists can travel in comfort, no mat
er what the weather conditions arc."

3rant Holds Down the
Price of Its Six Car i
Four vears ago the GrSnt Six made j
utomoDiie History Dy ncing tne nrsi
ix in the world to sell for less than
r 1 ,000. Within the last four months
'he Grant has had handed to it the
lonor of being the lowest priced six
n the world and the question that
verybody is asking is whether the.
nakers of the Grant Six intend to
ctain this unique position.
"It would have been easy to boost
mr prices $50 or $75 and to have
idded a great many thousands of dol
ors to our profits," says George S.
W'aite, general sales manager of the
jrant Motor Car corporation, "but in
lhat case we should have lost Vfc
prestige that comes when hundreds of
:housands of people are shown that
car is absolutely unique."

Economical Power
A Graphite film forms between the sleeves and
on the cylinder walls of the Stearns-buiit-Knight
motor.
This film prevents the escape of gas. Every
spray mat enters the cylinders is utilized.
This is the reason for the exceptional economical
