The higher radiator, now standard in all Ford types, has brought a general improvement throughout die entire line and the new radiator apron blending with similar apron effects on the fenders gives the front of the cars a highly finished appearance. - J The touring car shows a decided im- provement having a more streamline ef- fect.

ROADSTER FOR 2 STILL FAVORITE The smart, spirited roadster, built for two, or a companionable three, continues to lure a substantial proportion of motor car enthusiasts, despite the undeniable and increasing nreference f of - -closed models evident in recent years,;; This statement is based upon the re- ception accorded the Stutz Six roadster, numbered among the latest contributions â€"to-motoring~utifity and fashion, recently announced by the Stutz Motor Car com- pany of Ame^e^^^;:.;.^,^' £;., Simultaneously with l the appearance of this model in Stutz distributing cen- ters, an immediate and active response in the,form of positive buying orders from a large and varied class of motor car userss^ecame evident, Stutz officials .state.Ju. â- --'.....-1-------......."Z'^J'J.'.". ' ,,',"' The primary appeal of the Stutz Six roadster, it has been determined, is to business and professional men who desire a high grade, economical car for their exclusive, personal transportation. Also, it has a large following among small families who value it as an ideal tour- ing and sport conveyance. The low, graceful lines of the car carry especial appeal to those who are influ- enced by exterior attractiveness, imparted through coach work of unusual distinct- iveness and refinement. Contributing to the unique style effect achieved are the long, sweeping afterdeck, jaunty top, and «rtra wire wheels, mounted alongside the ^Irresistible as well is the surpassing comfort and inviting "feel" of the car, with the occupants suspended close to the ground amidships of the axles.'

The new sales and service station goes by the name of Thompson & Schuler, and is headed by H. A. Thompson and H. A. Schuler, both of whom are well known in north shore automobile circles. Mr. Thompson continues to handle the Jordan car at the salesroom at 1522 Sherman avenue. Mr. Schuler known as the promoter of the annual North Shore Motor salon, has moved in Evanston motor circles since the automobile sales business was in its infancy. % ~- The salesroom at 1008 Davis street, formerly occupied by the Evanston branch of the Lexington-Chicago com- pany, has been a scene of great activity during the past week, while arrange- ments for the display of new Lexington and Monroe 1924 models have been go- ing forward. Thompson & Schuler en~ joy the distinction of being among the first dealers in the country to secure these new lines of cars. "The Lexington plant is a wonder," said Mr. Schuler yesterday on his re- turn from Connersville and Indianapolis, where in company with Mr. Thompson he visited both the Lexington and Mon- roe factories." ;f"Lexington builds prac- tically every unit under its roof4 The plant seems to spread over the entire industrial section of the town. The Anotcd motor shops are pronounced by engineers as without a superior. "The Monroe factories at Indianapolis are the largest in the state of Indiana, comprising the government Four Wheell- Drive plant, built during the war, the old Premier headquarters and the former home of the old Monroe. The produc- tionfacilities are enormous;" Thompson and Schuler announce the inauguration of a novel and advanta- geous service * system for North Shore owners of Lexington,. Jordan and Mon- roe cars, including oiling, greasing, and adjustment, together with a written re- port on the condition of every part of the car. Hamilton Lane of- Chicago is in charge of the service department.
