| 4832 18 to 1 WATSON STABILATOR PATENTED RUBBER FLOW SOFT - SMOOTH - SILENT always Night photograph of the huge plant Where the World's Finest Shock Absorbers are Built The new Watson Rubber Flow Stabilators— finest of the world's shock absorbers—are built in the beautiful plant pictured. Modern in every phase of construction, equipment and layout for progressive manufacturing and assembly, this building—960 feet long by 240 feet wide, and day-lighted over every foot of floor space—is probably the largest plant in the world devoted solely to the manufacture of shock absorbers. Here is produced Watson Rubber Flow, the newly discovered plastic resistance medium which is used only in Watson Stabilators. Rubber Flow is the only shock absorber resistance medium known today that is not affected by the changes in weather or temperature. It is largely due to this fact that more than half a million American cars are scheduled to have the new Watson Stabilators as standard equipment during 1929; that recognition of the new Stabilators is spreading rapidly in foreign countries; that one of the largest manufacturers in Europe has adopted Stabilators as standard equipment on his largest model; that many other European cars are testing Stabilators for standard equipment. There is nothing like Watson Rubber Flow. There is no shock absorber like the new Stabilator. There is none other that can assure the same good ride always, regardless of climate, weather or temperature. The sales possibilities are almost unlimited. This huge plant is at present being operated day and night to meet the world-wide demand for these new shock absorbers.
