Ten Weeks Sufficient
There is no reason why one cannot finish our course in the allotted
time of ten weeks, but no charge will be made if more time is required,
as we desire above everything to give you such a course that your
efficiency will make your work a pleasure.
Your work can be done as well thousands of miles away as if you were on
the ground at our School.
If you contemplate purchasing a machine, you could not do better than
to first take our course, when you will be able to judge better on your
own account precisely what style of machine is peculiarly adapted to
your needs and your particular section of the country.
We can be of great service to you in choosing a machine. Some machines
are better adapted to certain localities than others; for instance,
a hilly or sandy country requires a low geared, light weight, high
powered machine, and you can rest assured on getting our unbiased
opinion.
Our course has been taken by many ladies who own or contemplate owning
a machine, and they are among those who are most emphatic in praising
our method of teaching.

Remember
It is a nice thing to understand a motor, whether you ever intend to
drive one or not.
* * *
No one should purchase an automobile without first taking our course.
* * *
The man who buys a motor car without first learning one will live to
regret the day.
* * *
Astonishing, but nevertheless true, not one-half of the machines
manufactured are fit to be placed on the market. Do you know the reason
why?
* * *
Never buy a car with the weak point, every other car has it, take our
course and be able to select the right one.
