NEW bright star has risen.
And a lucky one.
A wonderful new motor
car is here.
ItYa Jordan.
Built and priced to lead the field of
fine quality light cars, it is distin
guished by a new and exclusive Jordan
motor.
A thrilling dynamic bundle of fasci
nating power is the heart of thisthe
best automobile ever built in America
to sell around 52000. That's value.
You have never ridden in a motor
car just like this.
No man will be able to judge it's
exceptional personality until he has
known this rare experience. No
man will be able
to classify it as
merely a remark

a nimble, elec
trifying some
thing in that
burly motor,

Pep Punch Performance
Call it Pep Punch Performance.
It makes the old driver turn and grin.

yourself. Scores of people we never
hope to sell are invited to do this daily.
The motor is chain driven of course

Women Who Know
Women who know how ancient ap
pears the gown of days gone by can ex
plain the charm of Jordan appearance.
Jordan has always dared to lead in
body styles. Tt was Jordan who made
the old-fashioned beveled edge body
look as antique as grandmother's hoop
skirt That's style.
In this new fashion car all instru
ments are under glass, lighted from
Ntm emt VntiUttr
without. Protected in washing and
from rain. A concentrated beauty
spot taken in at a glance.
A Little Touch of Charm
Women who first learned to drive
old-fashioned heavy cars quickly sense
tnat subtle some
thing the feel
of the wheel of
a Tordan car.
That's ease in
handling.
Drive all day
and vou'll re
turn nappy and
exhilarated
mentally and physically unconscious
of the city speed laws- enthralled by
many easy miles per hour on country
roads. That's comfort.
Rare comfort is yours, however warm
the day. The new cowl ventilator
keeps the fore compartment cool. Op
erated with a twist of the wrist from
the driver's seat
The ventilator adds a little touch of
charm a little bit of something that
'every good car eventually must have.
Imagine yourself approaching this
trim, - graceful car low hung, with
lines inspiring speed.
The colors are as interesting as all
Jordan ideas. You have your choice of
the most enduring; bright finish or the
new opaque velvet finish. If you
choose the latter, drive your car a
, month turn on the hose and it's clean.
No polishing
no scratches will
show.
Women as
usual are de
manding it first,
" because it has a
custom appear-
' anceand because
it is dust-proof.
Drive The Car Yourself
Step into the Jordan. You . know
you step you never climb into a
Jordan. Experience only, not words,
: will reveal the feeling when you take
the wheel. You are more a part of
this car than'any you ever sat in. It
has a solid, sturdy feeling. You know
thatthe car is all one piece. It stays-put.
Balanced better than any car built,
this nimble Jordan hugs the road, mov-

ing constantly ' forward never side- '
ways. No wiggling, wabbling or twist
ing. No taifwagging behind.
A new lubricating system insures the
long life of this Jordan. Alamite
throughout. But that's not enough
for Jordan a new independent system
reaches inaccessible places under the
car no more crawling under. -
A new trans
mission and a
positive lock
saves insurance
protects against
theft annoyance.
A new type of
clutch, instantly
responsive, long
ronlrnl lever
reaching into your very hand.
It is a rusdess car. Every nickel
plated part on a foundation of brass.
There's a new swanky Jordan barrel
lamp custom style with broad band
of nickel on non-rusting brass.
No more unloading passengers to
find a dirty tool roll, usually empty.
Tools in padded locked compartment
in left front door.
Jordan Has The Courage
Success Vision and the lucky
Jordan star made possible this timely
announcement.
Success enabled Jordan to avoid the
deadly struggle to cut quality to quickly
attain a lower price. It gave him cour
age to build a vastly better car instead.
Old Jordan owners knew that Jordan
would do just that thing.
Vision enabled Jordan to know that
Service defines Value and motor cars .
will henceforth compete not alone in
price but in service.
So Jordan has built a vastly better
car. An enduring car. Cut his own
profits. Staked his all on the positive
belief that 10,000 men will buy this
car when they realize that it will run
200,000 miles with reasonable care and
last ten years, if the owner treats it
fairly. That's endurance.
