This is the Six-Cylinder Cole "60" Delco Electric
Starting Touring Car
AT the Chicago show 122 Coles were sold.
In New York the record was almost equaled. Every Cole
you know is giving wonderful service at low cost. The motor
is one of the quietest ever built. There is not an ounce of ma
terial in this car that is not the best that money can
buy. The Cole is the only medium priced car
built using the Mayo Radiator. You Know what
Timken products are they are recognized best, The
Cole uses Timken axles and bearings THROUGH
OUT. Note that word "throughout." Tfien, just to
cinch the argument, the Cole comes regularly
equipped with the Delco Electric starting, lighting
and ignition system, another recognized best, and
we charge you nothing extra.
Whether you are a prospective user or a well
rated dealer seeking a new connection you will want
to know how we can offer all we claim at these remarkable prices. The answer
is complete STANDARDIZATION. Do you want tov know how standardiza
tion is going to affect you and your pocket book? Of course you do. It's a big
subject and a live one one that goes home'to all of us. The Cole is the Parent
of Standardization. '
