Women, it was held, were incapable of reasoning logically, but trusted blindly to intuition, instinct or inspiration. That may, perhaps, have been the case; but in the present age of emancipation, woman has proved her ability to appreciate facts as quickly and capably as do men. This is nowhere more evident than in the purchase of a car. IVlen can no longer take up an attitude of condescension toward the feminine mind when it comes to selecting a cai. The woman of today wants to know the facts about a car " construction and performance before being satisfied bv appearances. Here are a few of the facts about the Standard-9.: The FULHAM 9 h.p.
