In discussing the new National Sextet,
we can well be moderate in our every
statement
For the beauty, the power and the com
fortofthisfinecararesuch as need neither
exaggeration nor extravagant mention.
There are certain salient qualities of
she National Sextet, however, that de
serve exposition, and they are offered
here as proof of the Sextet's excellence
throughout.
Knowing the fineness of the National
Sextet as we do, we welcome a close and
point-by-point comparison with all cars
that merit your respect and considera
tion, regardless of price.

tha car ia turned without gear
shifting in a 40-foot street, The
steering is of the freely operating
worm-and-gear type. Brake and
clutch pedals yield easily to pres
sors. Brake and gear-ehifting levers
are unusually long and operated
without change of posture.
Economy
For a car of such impressive size,
the Sextet delivers remarkable
returns from gasoline and oil,
averaging 12 miles to the gallon
on lowest grades of fuel and 125
miles to the quart of lubricating
oil.
The high efficiency overhead-valve
design and the elimination of
energy-wasting friction through
the extremely fine and accurate
alignment of all parts give maxi
mumpower from every ounce of
fuel.
Special provisions have been made
for the efficient handling of low
grade -fuels, the intake manifold
being enclosed in the cylinder head
and entirely surrounded by heat.
This manifold is specially designed
for the correct application of heat,
based" on experiments covering two
years.
that the Sextet is so finely and
sturdily built as to be a stranger
to the repair shop is the source of
an economy even more worth while
than the savings effected in gas
oline and oil consumption, desir
able though such savings may be.
Comfort

seven passengers." The seats are
set 1 1 inehes below the upper body
edge, giving satisfying sense of
security. The upholstery double

Thesemi-ettipticsprings,allaround,
measure 38 .and 60 inches re
spectively, and their cushioning
power is further augmented by the
use of heavy Hartford shock ab
sorbers, front and rear.
Finish

uine coach - finish, applied in
twenty-four distinct operationi,

cialists. Bodies are sand-blasted
