JEWISH CHRONICLE

The Great Jewish
Problem of Today

Satisfaction among Holmes owners, extends to features of service usually
accepted by owners of other cars as necessary inconveniences.
Most important is motor cooling. In water cooled cars boiling is not
infrequent in summer; freezing is always present in winter. The Holmes Im-
proved Air-Cooled Motor will not overheat on hot days and there is nothing in
it to freeze in winter.
In the usual car of equal size, nine to twelve miles to the gallon is the aver-
age fuel consumption. Gasoline consumption in the Holmes averages 18-20
miles to the gallon for a properly sized car of 126-inch wheelbase.
Tire service with many cars averages 6,000 miles to the set. Tire service on
the Holmes shows better than 10,000 miles to the set; due to the easy riding of
a flexible chassis on full elliptic springs.
Country roads slow down the touring speed of nearly all cars. Road com-
fort with the Holmes is expressed in speeds of from thirty to forty miles an
hour, easily possible over roads that other cars must travel at twenty.
Fuel and tire economy in the Holmes are proof that:
High operating costs are no longer necessary in a car of proper size; the Price
Economy
is no longer restricted seating capacity and cramped discomfort.
of
Performance records in the Holmes are proof that roads and weather are
no longer masters of a motor car.
