B g rsC OE "The Best Liked Car in the Country" "A Friend of Mine Said" A dozen times a month some one comes into the showroom interested in the Briscoe because of the enthusiastic praise a friend has bestowed on it. Sometimes it is the striking beauty of the car; sometimes the economy or the comfort or sturdiness, or any one of a score of Briscoe features. But it emphasizes the fact that a Briscoe owner is a Briscoe boosteh-a motorist who realizes that he has secured the best value in the market today. Below we give the names of a few Briscoe owners in town. Maybe some of them are friends of yours. Ask them what they think of their cars.
