Production Last Year Just About Equaled This Amount --Big d For 1918 In regard to the great demand for Well Done-- E wanted the Gray-Dort car well done beyond comparison. In striving to have it well done, we found the accepted formule of motor car building wholly inadequate. We found, for example, that we wanted a better, simpler, sturdier motor than was being used in cars of the Gray-Dort class. So we called in Etienne Planche, perfecter of the Peugot motor, and had him build the splendid power-plant that goes in every Gray-Dort. We were not satisfied with the comfort of other light cars. So we designed a special body of unusual roominess, with extra good cushions, and 50 inch full cantilever Throughout the entire car itis the same. Fine materials, painstaking] workmanship, correct design have made this a finecar, yet a less costly car than many thatlackitsquality. The new Gray-Dort em- bodies all the good features that won instant success: for former models. The 4-cylin- der motor is a triumph of smooth, economical speed and power. The chassis is sturdy and quiet. The springs are long. The upholstery is dee The equipment is Teil complete from electric start- ing and lighting to the tools. New lines of beauty have been given this model. The Jive-passenger touring car is $1,125; the three- - passenger time by making time. A motor car is essentially a time- saver. : + Whatever your occupation, you will find this Overland Model 90 a ow 5,004 i m es . » of 0 consumption, he sa that this 'good investment--the little time. meane the use of about 50,000,000 isaving thrift car that has doubled barrels of gasoline annually. Last year our exports to the Al- jits sales in Canada during the past lies were about 8,000,000 barrels. ¥ The demand for gasoline in 1918, = according to Mr. Bedford, will be : about 60,000,000 barrels, whereas ~~ the production of gasoline in 1917 very Loca 3 was but between 50,000,000 and Dealers in E lity 55,000,000 barrels. In the United States » The motorist who wants to test his gasoline for purity may find the following suggestion useful. Put The Dort Motor Car Company FLINT, MICHIGAN springs in the rear.
