Marvel Has Looks, Power
and Speed to Spare
You can get some idea of TlylE SIX of ' 1 6 from the
picture, but
You've got to see the actual car to appreciate the beauty
of its long, clean lines; you've got to ride in it to convince
yourself that it rides as easily in the rear seats as up front;
you've got to see it glide over the bumpiest bumps like a
yacht in order to comprehend its fine riding qualities.

THE SIX of '16 $1250
f tx b. Racine
Here's power, speed, looks and comfort at a very low
price. The 48-h.p. motor enables you to pick up from
2 to 60 miles within a city block. THE SIX of 16
has a 1 25-inch wheelbase, weighs only 2925 pounds and
does 1 5 to 1 8 miles on a, gallon of "gas."
A unique feature of this car is the revolving headlights;
by loosening a set-screw you can turn the lamps com
pletely oyer, flashing. the strong rays right back into the
car. Think what this means on a dark night in case of
tire change or for any reason you want a strong light over
the whole of the car. There are many other unique
features equally important.
To see THE SIX of 1 6 is to want to ride in it; to ride
... " . '
in it is to want to own it. Arrange now for a demonstra
tion no obligation.
