In the eyes of the chauffeur

Is the most satisfactory Automobile made for every day service. The two-cylinder (opposed) motor gives 8 actual horse power and eliminates the vibration so noticeable in other machines. The body is luxurious and comfortable and can be removed from the Chassis by loosening six bolts.
