SUNDAY. FEBRUARY 3. 1924 PAST r. SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 3, 1924 THE COURIER in to RTHY OF ITS C.A Rickenbacker is Right Enthustastla and tnttantansous endorsement was th response to tht epoch-making announcement of "Nothing Elt to Buy. Factory advises us that order er pouring in, and ar warned that demand for Rickenbacker Car will exceed the possible supply, can expect only our quota.

That' the most eloquent endorsement of thi latest Rickenbacker policy a "Fully-Equipped Car." You know what we mean, of course a car, that as it comes to you, and at the advertised price, is so completely equipped with every desirable safety factor and convenience that there is left for yeu, "Nothing Else to Buy." That announcement made ky Rickenbacker at tho opening of the New York show, created a sensation almost as great as had previous epeehal keuarerements nrt announced in Rickenbacker car. It was as great aa inneaieei hilts way the Vikre-tienlese Metor. the Two Fry Wheel, the Automatic Air Cleaner, Disc Usl Wheels, Cradle Springs and 4-Wheel Brakes. Until Rickenbacker sat this new standard this higher code of selling ethics rou used to pay extra for such necessities a front and rear Bumpers, Automatic Windshield Wiper, Dlse Steel Wheels, Motometer, Wind Wings, Car Heater, etc. When you had paid for your car, you had only begun you still had to pay $150 to $250 more before your car was complete.

Since January 1st, included aa "standard equipment" in Rickenbacker cars are the following: Bumper front and rearj Folberth Automatic Cleaneri Mote-Meter Mote-Meter Wings; Meto-Meter Lock; Transmission Lock; Ignition Switch Lock; Drum Tire-Caver; "Stop" light; "Pipeless" Car-Heater; Rear View Mirror; Shock Absorbers. Closed Mode's have Vanity Case and Clovk. Open Mode! Pevel Fh. Windshield Wing and all models have 4-Wheel brakes, of course. You are entitled all these thinj and at the advertised price of any car for Rickenbacker ha included them n.

without changing prices of closed models and on open models at considerably reduced prices. But accessories alone do not make a car. So even did you obtain all these "extras" you still could not hope for Rickenbacker performance, or low upkeep, unless that csr had all tho advanced engineering features which have made this car famous. Rickenbacker is first choice of men who know most about automobiles, and when you learn all there is to know about this car r.o one could sell you any olher at any price. But, considering the nation-wide popularity and demand for Rickenbackers, you must not delay if you would ensure reasonably early delivery.

We are now taking orders for spring delivery and a limited number for immediate or as soon as we get them. So suggest you place your order early now if you would avoid disappointment. You'll never ho happy till you da own a Rickenbacker. Prieee cure t. o.
