View of a 1911 Duryea Electa. Printed on front: "Duryea's Electa. A carriage for the elect. Combines the elegance, comfort, cleanliness, noiselessness & simplicity of the electric with the reliability, long range, light weight, low cost and ever-readiness of the gasoline car. Faster, handier, simpler, lighter, more durable and less expensive than an electric. No tire trouble, no punctures, no delays, no complicated mechanism, no transmission, no differential, no clutch, no propeller shaft, no universal joints, no gears, no chains, no complicated oilers, no dripping oil, no freezing water. Just the cleanest, simplest, handiest and most comfortable auto you have ever seen. Chas. E. Duryea, Reading, Pa." Typed on back: "Subject: Duryea automobile. Collection: MS3/Charles E. Duryea Collection. Date: 1911. Source: Estate of Charles E. & M. Jerry Duryea. I.D.: Electa, 4 wheel."
