TTTE DAILY GATE CITKV

'N THE SATURDAY EVENING POST of January 3rd,
we first introduced the Paige "Six-46" to the American
public. In that advertisement we said: gffi&fBWtBBflt/m
"It is our conviction that history has repeated itself and
the Paige Company has again set the standard of value in the
3^ moderate priced field.
"Henceforth, "Six" prices and "Six" values will be
judged from a viewpoint 01 Paige achievement." ,.~
This was the prediction that we made when we intro
duced the Paige "Six-46." 1
I This was the statement which, we believe, has been
1 absolutely realized in six short months.
The success of this remarkable car has far exceeded
every expectation that we ha,d for it.
We knew that we'Were building right. __
"ZZZZ We knew that no better material or sounder principles of
SSSS: construction could go into any car at any price.
We knew that—feature for feature—this car marked a
11 distinct epoch in automobile manufacturing.
1 i. But, with all of Our confidence, we could not forsee the
tidal wave of demand which has been created in such an
amazingly short time.
From every section of the country—from the large cities,
small towns and farm districts—there comes a constantly
increasing demand upon the factory for "More Sixes—More
Paiges."
5EEEE Dealers have doubled, trebled and quadrupled their
3^ allotments in order to keep pace with their orders.
____ Every night ,finds the Paige factory working on double
ZZIZ: shifts—every day finds our shipping platforms taxed to their
utmost capacity with more "Sixes" bound for everv section
SI of the nation.
£^3 In the very middle of our production season it has been
necessary to consider plans for increasing the present huge
factory.
Now, these plans are under way. Ground will be broken
ZZZZZl immediately, and equipment installed to double the capacity
1 of the Paigd plant and produce 150 cars per day.
These are merely a few sidelights on the success of this
great Paige "Six-46." If you would know why this car has
attained such immediate recognition, we ask you to consider
ZZZZZ the following facts.
The Paige Marks a New Era
Up to the present time, motor car competition has been
confined within three distinct "price classes"—represented by
low, medium and high-priced automobiles.
All cars have been judged in comparison with other cars
of the same "price class." Manufacturers have been quite
content to maintain consistent prominence in their various
ZZZjZZ "price" divisions, and the Public has learned to estimate
_____ automobile values by this method of class comparison.
But one, epoch making development has been on the
SSSSSJ way. One car—three years in the making—has appeared
upon the horizon.
And, in less than six months, this car—the Paige "Six
46" has comnlfitplv shattfrrA all tho '1
46"—-has completely shattered all the standards of "Price
Class" and established itself in an absolute unique and
individual position.

Because the "Six-46" is a full HUNDRED
POINT motor car, we contend that—IRRESPEC
TIVE OF PRICE—this car offers as much essen
tial value as any automobile made in this or any
other country. .r.f -v 'v
Because this car embodies—in full measure—
all that a man could desire in ANY car, we affirm
that it fixes, at SI 395, the topmost price that you
should pay for the utmost in motoring.
In appearance the Paige "Six-46" is not only the most
beautiful car, but the most distinctive and individual-looking
car offered in the American market this year.
Its long, sweeping stream-lines are adapted from the
very latest European designs.
Without being in the least bit ^'freakish," the Paige Six,
ts "smart" in every detail.
Its character is unmistakable. Wherever you see a
Paige Six, on the city street, on the country road or parked,
at the curb, you recognize it instantly
A distinctive feature of Paige design is the astonish
ing combination of beauty with unsurpassed comfort. While
a light Six, it is a big Six.
It is designed to seat its seven adult passengers with am
pie room and luxurious motoring comfort for each and every
one of them. nupiwmw
No motor car—not excepting the most expensive cars
made in this country or abroad—can offer more motoring
luxury than the Paige Six offers. In all essential details it
has reached the highest achievement of motor car design and
manufacture.
And withal, Paige Design has achieved Paige Economy.^ The "Six-46
is an economical car. That means more than the low price—$1395. It
means low tire bills, low gasoline bills, low repair bills and small depreciation.
The tremendous power and extraordinary flexibility of the motor in
this record-breaking "Six-46" have been a potent factor in its nation-wide
success.
Without shifting from high gear the "Six-46" throttles down toaslow
walking pace and then "picks up" immediately to the speed of the wind.
It is virtually, throttle-controlled.
Paige cars have always been noted for their ease of control. Smooth
gears—quick acting brakes—and a responsive^ steering wheel enable a
women to drive this car as readily as an electric. This means not only
motoring-luxury, but the vital factor of safety.
Check Up The Field
Point for point—feature for feature—the "Six-46" offers
essential value all that you can find in any car—regardless of price.
There is nothing better than the best. You can only hope to get out
of a motor car precisely what the manufacturer puts into it.
Nowhere can you lay your finger on one single weakness—one single
compromise—in the construction or equipment of this amazing motor car.
No niattrr'how much you may be prepared to pay, you can't buy a
better combination of motor car essentials than you will find in the Paige.
"Six-16."
If this car sold for $5000 we couldn't employ better principles of con
struction than we deliver for $1395.
Furthermore, the most discriminating motor car buyers in the
country have rccognizcd this fact. Men and women who can readily af
ford to buy any car have selected the Paige—not because of its price, but
because of its QUALITY.
They have selcctcd the Paige because it is a FULL HUNDRED
POINT motor car.
"The year-ahead car"—that is what they are calling the "Six-46"
But—a3 a matter of fact—this slogan is quite inadecniate.
The Paige has, indeed, created an entirely new Era. In appearance
alone it has set the vogue for 1916 design, anrl will, undoubtedly, be the
most widely copied car at next year's automobile shows.
The Paige "Six-46" is a tried and proven success. Once again, Paige
has "shown the way".
