The Lexington Minute Man Six defeated each
and every one of the 109 contesting cars on the
seven points included in the challenge, proving
conclusively that the challenger is champion of the
highway.
Following publication of the challenge in the
Metropolitan press, approximately one month ago
(see reproduction above), hundreds of motor car
owners and representatives of dealers and manu?
facturers visited Lexington showrooms in New York
and Brooklyn to personally verify the original an?
nouncement that only two conditions would be
imposed, namely, that only stock cars would be
admitted to the contest and that only standard test
gasoline could be used.
Then, too, many of those interested were desirous
of ascertaining what publicity would be given to
the event following the conclusion of the contest,
and especially whether the names of the defeated
cars and the owners thereof or the dealers therein
would be disclosed All were assured that the
contest was to be conducted on the highest plane
of sportsmanship?that the Lexington Motor Com?
pany of New York was simply desirous of verifying
a belief, long held, that the Lexington-Minute Man
Six was master of the road.
The seven points included in the contest cov
f*?C
ered every feature of vital interest to prospective
purchasers of motor cars.
Lexington claims of superiority are backed by
the compelling fact that the Lexington Minute Man
Six met all comers and defeated them with margins
of victory sufficient to remove all possibilities of
doubt or argument.
The hill climbing contests were conducted on
Fort George Hill, Manhattan; Dyckman and Eagle
Rock Hills, New Jersey. The speed contests were
held, against time, in localities we prefer not to
mention lest officers of the law be unduly interested.
This splendid triumph of the Lexington Minute
Man Six was made possible in large measure be?
cause of the Moore Multiple Exhaust System and
the Lexi-Gasifier, two exclusive Lexington features,
inventions of John C. Moore, Chief Engineer of the
Lexington Motor Company, manufacturers, who
control the patents.
The Moore Multiple Exhaust System entirely
eliminates back pressure, thus doing away with
trapped gases, and by actual test, in laboratories
not controlled by Lexington interests, enabled a
stock motor to develop 22.8 per cent more horse?
power than was developed by the same motor

used on

The Lexi-Gas ier is designed to afford better
carburetion, giving the same power and perform?
ance with low grade gasoline heretofore possible
only with high test fuel.
Some other features embodied in the Lexington
Minute Man Six, not found in any other make of
car at any price, and certain features found only in
$5,000 cars, include the following:
One Piece Patented Brush Frame, eliminating
squeaks and rattles; providing the only known per?
fect foundation for a motor car.
Chassis lubrication by means of self oiling bush?
ings, resulting in the use of only one oil or grease
cup on the entire car.
Universal Joint of the non-metallic type, render?
ing lubrication unnecessary, eliminating back lash
and protecting vital parts of the car.
Special Brake System including one-finger emer?
gency brake and cable service brake that ?^noise?
less and efficient under all conditions.
Two-Way Head Lamps, approved by various
States, with plain glass equipment and without the
use of special lens.
You are cordially invited to visit our Showrooms and make a personal inspection of The Champion of the Highway.
