The WHITE—a masterpiece HERE is the finally-perfect stream-line—so much talked-of, so seldom found. There is grace, ease and a culturedly confident suggestion of power in the gentle line of the hood, leading to the dash, where even the windshield blends into the stream-line. But the conventional back of the front seat— that stiff, often awkward arrangement—why did not our eyes pause there? We turn our gaze—and there is no back of the front seat! It has been absorbed in a ripple of the stream-line producing the center cowl. What "go," what unbroken charm this double cowl effect gives the body! Here at last we find a car which seems to have been carved from a single piece—sculptured, if you will, by some master having the hand of Phidias and the mind of Pericles. 32d SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE ADVERTISER

The WHITE—a masterpiece THE secret of all beauty is the line — the sweeping line. The line of milady's neck and shoulder, of the wave lifted against the breeze—all lines of beauty follow that principle. And here in White Motor Cars we find that mechanics have been matched with beauty. The unbroken line of faithful delivery of power and dependability of performance have been matched with this masterpiece of body-designing. (][ So deftly and truly has even the cunning sweep of fenders and footboard been drawn along the car that the wheels themselves melt into the idea and the spare tire furnishes a completing touch in what an artist would call a "composition." And the top—The White Monotop—whether up or down, merges quietly into the complete picture. SCRIBNER'S MAGAZINE ADVERTISER 32e

The WHITE—a masterpiece<br />

HERE is the finally-perfect stream-line—so much<br />

talked-of, so seldom found.<br />

There is grace, ease and a culturedly confident<br />

suggestion of power in the gentle line of the hood,<br />

leading to the dash, where even the windshield blends<br />

into the stream-line.<br />

But the conventional back of the front seat—<br />

that stiff, often awkward arrangement—why did not<br />

our eyes pause there? We turn our gaze—and<br />

there is no back of the front seat! It has been<br />

absorbed in a ripple of the stream-line producing the<br />

center cowl.<br />

What "go," what unbroken charm this double<br />

cowl effect gives the body! Here at last we find a<br />

car which seems to have been carved from a single<br />

piece—sculptured, if you will, by some master having<br />

the hand of Phidias and the mind of Pericles.<br />
