There are shops and blocks of business structures such aa one sees In every olty, of brick or con crete or stucco with rows 01 stores below, and the usual apartments overhead. There are the factories that grace any city and the railroad stations: there are Ice plants and car barns; there are churches without which no city la complete; there la a Young Men's Christian Association building and Bbrlne Mosque. In the civic, centers will be seen the high school buildings and the court house, the library and similar city buildings. Over to one side will be seen at the tar corner a tine farm home with frame house, and the accompanying barna and Implement sheds and all the farm yard appurtenances seen In such a home.

As usual In such cases and with such exhibitions, there will be many free samples of goods and products given away day and night to the vis It otrx, but the main event will be the feasting of the eye on the really niarvlous work of design and construction that has been done by these Springfield youths In the making of homes and buildings done on a scale of 1 Inch to the foot and done so perfectly and artistically that no una can see them without real benefit. There will also be exhibits of the advertising posters made by both high school children and oth nud 6th grade purlls, and of books showing an entire home from Die front door to the back made by the children of the Springfield public fennels.

This is a gratifying victory for our organization. For a long time we have had our eyes on the Rickenbacker franchise. We wanted to represent this Eroduct. We knew its value. That's because we new the car.

After a more searching investigation than a prospective owner could afford to make we have selected the Rickenbacker "Six 'and Vertical 8 Because they are the only, cars embodying all the principal outstanding advances in modern motor car engineering. Because they 'are the only cars the motors of which have no period of vibration which is directly due to the Rickenbacker tandem flywheel. Because in the air cleaner, a particular Ricken backer invention' which eliminates carbon from the motor, we found another great advancement not embodied in any other car. Because the double depth built with the strength of Brooklyn Bridge, gives easier riding qualities than found in any other cars of their class. And in addition innumerable other features which would take up more space than we could possibly, use to tell you the story.

But, last and not least 4 wheel brakes. 4 wheel brakes are without question one of the greatest improvements made in motor cars since the advent of the self starter. And we all know that was quite some improvement. With all of their marvelous mechanical improvements the designers of the Rickenbacker did not overlook appearance and comfort. They are charming in appearance, light in perfect in balance, comfortable to ride in and tre mendously economical in performance.

As a matter of fact, we just believe that In every way they are designed in advance of the crowd. These are a few reasons why we selected Rickenbacker. We merely urge you to do one thing. Permit us to put you at the wheel of a Rickenbacker. Permit us to offer you the courtesy of one of these cars for thirty minutes.

And we will assure you, if in this time you do not say it is the greatest, sweetest performing automobile you ever drove, we will not make any further effort to sell you the Famous Rickenbacker "Six" or the "Vertkal 8 Superfine." But frankly; we do believe that every fair minded ergon can sell himself in less than thirty minutes operating one of these cars himself. We want to say just one word about service. Based on our experience we know its value. Therefore, you can depend on the fact that Rickenbacker Service is' going to be built on courtesy, promptness and a square deal to everyone. Won't you permit us to show you the latest Rickenbacker models? MAUS OMANS MOTOR CO.
