■ “They copied all they could follow, But they couldn’t copy my mind, And I left them sweating and stealing, 3ES? A year and a-half behind.’’ —Kipling. ''iAtLjra,-— Rugby: The 1 r Roll-Royce of Light Cars. Rugby Challenges Misleading Advertising Every statement made in Rugby advertising is carefully checked and considered. All available data is consulted to avoid errors—which we would correct if pointed out—and statements inviting incorrect inferences are avoided. At least one other Dealer in light cars has not been so particular, and we often wonder, supposing a buyer purchases that light car and later discovers that every feature of importance was anticipated and refined by Rugby, whether he then feels satisfied with his purchase. RUGBY introduced these Big Car features in 1923 (First Low-priced car to do so.) Force Feed Lubrication. Silent Timing Chain. Single Plate Clutch, Semi-Elliptic Springs, Water Pump, Five Frame Cross Members, Petrol Tank at Rear, and many other important refinements then unknown in light cars. In 1925 33 h.p. Ricardo Head Engine, Four Wheel Brakes (Std. on Californian Factory Models, optional on others). In- 1926 Very Powerful and Smooth Brakes on Ilin x 2in Drums—Many detail refinements. In 1927 Rubber Mounted Engine, Pressed Steel Tank Carrier, Air Cleaner, Oil Filter, Gas Filter, Ball Brg. Stg. Pivots, Small Wheels and Large Tyres, etc. These features have been tested, proved, and refined in nearly HALF A MILLION Durant-built Rugby-Star cars in the last five years.
