There are many reasons for the
‘price of a motor car. The car
may be built down to a selling
price. The price may be
forced up to a profit mark.
There may be weight, size,
speed, that you do not need.
But the Gray Dort price is the
lowest price at which a big,
efficient organization can
build a fine light car.
The Gray Dort is built right
first. It is built with real big
car quality and comfort and
appearance. lt is built to give
you all the service you need,
free from trouble. Then by
. I
_ _f\--_
factory cfiicicricy the price is
kept low.
So when you buy ai Gray Dort
you are putting every dollar
into real motor cuz' value.. Ride
in a Gray Dori riien you will
see how g,rez1tlj.- cheaper cars
fall short of it and how light
car; higher-pricctl give you no
more or not as much.
The touring car is $1245; the Gray Dnrr
