This is a Demonstration and School Car Only—Not
the Car You Buy. The Briscoe You Want to
Own is the Regular Single-Drive Car
>HE Briscoe Twin-Control Car is here. Arrange to take
your driving lesson this week — tomorrow or next day.
This Twin-Control Briscoe has been built specially by
Briscoe engineers to make learning-to-drive safe and easy
for everybody. This is the method employed to teach Red
Cross nurses how to drive in the war zone. A wonderful help to
women and girls.
The Briscoe Twin-Control Car has two steering wheels, two clutch
pedals, two sets of brakes, two sets of gear levers, two accelerators, two
gasoline controls and two spark controls. The left or driving side of the
car is duplicated on the right side—instructor and pupil drive together.
Consequently the beginner can drive on the boulevard, in traffic,
anywhere without nervousness. The instructor has complete control
of the car. Many can learn to drive in one hour, whereas learning to
drive in a single-drive car might require a week or more of lessons,
involving, as always, some risk to both car and occupants.
This Demonstration Will Prove to You the Great
Flexibility, Inexhaustible Power and Easy *
Handling of Briscoe B4-24 Models
my/Mm/q, HIS is an example of Briscoe care for its owners. You will
gyp find this the ideal way to appreciate the balance, sweet-run-
lIP nin8 qualities and quickness of the new Briscoe — the free-
flowing power of the Half Million Dollar Motor. You will
' be a better judge of motor cars once you ride in the Briscoe
Twin-Control Demonstrating Car—once you feel the gentle clutch,
the easy-acting gear shifts, the smooth rush of power that answers
the slightest foot pressure.
Yoii'Il realize why the Briscoe is such a great value at $725—a price made
possible by building the car entirely in our ten factories.
Then—you'll be delighted with the roominess of the new Briscoe—ample
for 6-foot men to stretch out in—and its extreme good looks. Briscoe Cars
are made distinctive by meadow-green bodies, black fenders, filler aprons and
cream-colored wheels.
Telephone for Appointment
Take advantage of this unusual opportunity to learn to drive and to know
the Briscoe. Just telephone us. We'll tell you the hour you can take your lesson.
