ELECTRIC COACH IT is a curious fact that coach building was one of the last of the arts to be modernized. The coach body of the middle ages was hung high because the coach was designed to pass and did pass constantly through seas of mud, through bogs, swamps and shallow streams. Not- withstanding the wonderful transformation wrought by modern street paving, coach makers clung blindly to this design until the advent of the Hupp-Yeats. The result was a top-heavy, awkward and dangerous construction, entirely out of place under modern conditions. The Hupp-Yeats introduced the safe, sane, low-hung construction which an authority has stamped as the first advance in coach construction in over a century. This design provides a car with which skidding and swerving is an impossibility under ordinary conditions; a car that is as easy to enter or leave as to step from one room to another; and a car which possesses a grace and beauty that the high-hung electric never had. The desirability of this design is shown by the wide attempts now being made to copy it. The appoint- ments of the coach are in keeping with the exquisite beauty of the design. There are six models, designed to suit every town-car need. Regular equipment includes Hycap Exides Battery and Goodyear long distance No-R un- Cut-Tires; Motz Cushion Tires at additional cost.
