One of the main elements of the extraordinary
K-r-i-t value is the fact that the K-r-i-t is
always a new car.
We employ an efficient corps of engineers and designers to devise improve-
ments and refinements.
We install these improvements and refinements as rapidly as our engineers
develop them, instead of holding them back for introduction on the
next year's models.
So the K-r-i-t owner, at the beginning of a so-called "new season," as at all
other times, finds himself with a car in which the latest practical ideas
have already l>ecn incorporated.
The K-r-i-t car—every K-r-i-t car—has been
brought up to the current motion in the
motor car industry. We announce no sen-
sational new model because every K-r-i-t
car is new.
This policy is as old as the K r-i-t Company.
We adopted it at the outlet because we believe the buyer is entitled to the
most modern in design, construction, or progress—no matter when he
purchases his car.
Because of this policy we make no "new season" announcements and will
make none this year.
And localise of this policy, the purchaser of any K-r-i-t at any time, is as-
sured of getting a car that embodies the latest and best in engineering
practice and in design.

THE K-R-I-T REPUTATION for staunch-
ness and extreme durability is not contined to a
few isolated communities, as you probably have
learned.
IT IS AS WIDE AS THE NATION; and the
rougher the country, the more difficult the roads
—the more firmly the X-r-i-t is established as
the medium-priced car that has made good.
TEE CHIEF OF THE REASONS for this
is, of course, the structural quality of the car.
BUT BACK OF THIS, and overshadowing
in importance every other consideration, lies the
fact that every part essential to smooth running,
long life, economy and comfort is produced by
and within the K-r-i t organization.
IN OTHER WORDS, the K-r-i-t at $950 is
a manufactured car in a sense as binding and
literal as the term implies when applied to the
$1000 or $5000 car.
YOU SEE IIOW this process of manufactur-
ing, instead of buying parts ready-made and as-
sembling them, saves money for the manufacturer.
AND TIIE SAVING, in this instance—in
the shape of better material, more careful work-
manship, better operative qualities—goes into
the X-r-i-t and makes it a vastly better value
than the average $950 car.
WE NOT ONLY DESIGN THE MOTOR—
we make it; cast the cylinders in one piece to
give rigidity and preserve alightment; equip it
with ball bearings and with connecting rod bear-
ings 50 per cent larger than usual, to promote
smooth running, silence and the greater develop-
ment of power.
WE MAKE THE CLUTCH of multiple discs
—a clutch that holds, and holds in sand and mud
and on the hills; and yet starts the car as
smoothly and easil y as an electric glides away.
WE MAKE THE TRANSMISSION and rear
axle, cut the gears from chrome nickel steel—the
hardest and costliest metal known—and mount
them on ball
hearings.
WE DROP FORGE THE FRONT AXLE,
thus assuring strength and stability in a most
important meml>er.
WE MAKE THE TRANSMISSION DRIVE
shaft of chrome vanadium steel and specially
heat-treat it for toughness and strength.
TURNING TO THE FACTOR OF COMFORT,
you tind the touring car amply roomy for five
grown persons—and equipped with full elliptic
rear springs, another unusual feature for $950
to $1000 cars.
i#
At Almost Every Point throughout the K-r-i-t
you encounter a value-fact that you have not
found in other cars of the K-r-i-t price.
To Be Si re, you may succeed in getting
one, or even several of the K-r-i-t features in
some other car of equal price.
