The oldest stagers were the three representatives forming the Tilling-Stevens team, which had covered, respectively, 255,400, 286.500, and 249.000 miles. Each of these machines had covered more than the distance separating the earth and moon. For your motor’s sake demand pre-war “Big Tree.’’ Less wear, less expense, less worry. —Advt.
