AN ENGINEER'S APPRECIATION OF THE "E.11.F." Among the purchasers of th» "E.M.F.* , car and its smaller sister tho "Flanders" have been a number of engineers. The. '-E.M.F." and the "Flanders" pleaso tho average motorist fay their reliability, their speed and power, and their economy iv running. Tho engineer who owns one of these- car.* gets en added pleasure out of the high mechanical efficiency, tho simplicity and strength of construction, and this evidence of consummate skill which permeates every detail of "K.M.F." cars. Here is a sample letter of appreciation from an engineer who ovrns ono of these.cars. The writer is Mr Job Oshorne, of; I>oyleston, tho inventor and patentee of tho power well-.sinkinfc plant. He writes: —"Tho 'E.M.F. , car I bought from you has now registered 0000 miles. It has given mc every satisfaction. I have had the car fivo months, doing 1000 miles per month. 1 think it is the best car for the money that can bo bought. It is and strong, and inexpensive on tyros and tithes." It is not necessary for us to say more. The owners of tho "E.M.F." land ''Flanders" are their best advertisers. The five-seater 30 h.p. "E.M.F." sells at £375; tho fourseater 20 h.p. "Flanders" sells at £295; and tho two-seater 20 h.p. '•Flanders" at £275. Every car is equipped complete with hood, windshield, and fivo lamps, included ia tho above prices.
