By Eakljc Smith. Special Correspondent to Scribblers The new 1950 Outing Special, which has made such a hit on the Coast. This model is mechanically perfect, and has all the conveniences that the sinlnner tourist needs. For the ladies there is the electric curling iron and powdering machine, to be used after the swim. This model is especially adapted for house parties. The swimming pool is provided with a bottom and water may be put in the tank without injuring it, and for this purpose we equip each model with an ink dropper. This model may he seen (at the purchaser's own risk) at the firm’s new headquarters LANDWEER MARSHALL, 3226 High St. The other new models to arrive soon are JORDAN TIN-SIX The JORDAN TIN-SIX has been greatly improved upon in acces- sibility. ()n the very latest models, it is no longer necessary to remove the transmission while adjusting the carburetor. On the closed models, they are equipped with hot and cold folding doors.

A it is necessary to install spark plugs every few miles, and automatic spark plug changer is part of the equipment The new “COOTIE” has some very unusual equipment, including such items as power driven lead pencil sharpener, illuminous lights, silent horns—besides the two ladies shown in the catalogue illustration. Be- sides these outstanding features, it is guaranteed not to rip (more than 150 per) nor to fade (away), and that we are the first to ever use the famous “hollow-headed nuts.” NOT ,» AM [30]
