Show 'BRDWER BRINGS HOME! iW LIBERTY STORY Was First Straight Line Body Car to Be Exhibited Ex-hibited in 1917. Manager R, A. Brower of the Judd-Brower Judd-Brower Auto company, Utah and Inter-mountain Inter-mountain distributors for Liberty Six ! passenger cars, is home from a visit to tbe Liberty factory at " Detroit. Mr. Brower says he was amazed at the car-production car-production sight he witnessed while there. Also, he states that the Liberty people have made arrangements to double the ca pacity of tbe piant and that new eons truer, ion will soon begin on additional addi-tional modern buildings. It will be one ; of the most completely equipped and : modern automobile plan ts in all the U. j S. A. when finished, said Mr. Brower. i I Manager Brower returned with a new j j story about the Liberty Six and also i i the good news that several carloads of t L berty mode's &re en route to Salt Lake. The new Liberty story runs as follows: "At the 1317 automobile show at Xew I York it was noticed that one of the new I cars on exhibition displayed a. different I type of body design than anything that j had theretofore been shown," Manager i Brower said. I "On the first day or so people showed the usual interest that anything new al- i ways excites, but as time passed it was noticed that there was a constant group about this exhibit and that the in no, ation was evidenty making a 'hit.' i "The car was the Liberty Six. It was introducing the Liberty straight-line ef- ! feet in a ntomobile body design. And the! way it ught the popular fancy during the few days of that show established ; j the success of this new type. i "It was interesting to observe that dur- ! ing the following year a score or more j , manufacturers made radical changes m j i their lines and showed a strong tendency j toward the Iipps the Libert y had first' presented. Tt was pretty difficult, how- j ever, to copy the new style and yet accomplish ac-complish something different. "Recently a far greater percentage are fo 'lowing the straight -line styie, hiclud - I ing many of the highest priced models, and they are wonderfully improved in appearance as compared with their predecessors. "However, the Liberty is said to be ; maintaining an unusual beauty of design ' in the style which it pioneered, and al- though recent cha nges have not been : radical it is so distinctive and so modern mod-ern in appearance that it continues to draw the interest of motorists everywhere." |
