Balanced Value
Value, as represented in ray -Dort Motor
Cars, is a union of good qualities.
Strength that means faithful service, free
from trouble, yet sacrificing nothing of the
lightness so essential to economy.
Beauty unquestionable, that yet allows for every essen-
tial of good engineering. Comfort, too, both in riding
and driving.
And then a price kept surprisingly low by factory
efficiency and big production.
You need in your car ALL the qualities the Gray -Dort
has. And probably you need nothing more. Certainlyyou
can, get nothing more without paying very much more.
The touring car is $1245; the Gray -Dort Special—the car
with added refinements and extra equipment, is $135
extra; there are also a coupe, and a sedan. All prices
