Period commentary on the features of the White Six. From Feb 1912.
WHITE “SIX” OFFERS MANY ADVANTAGESElectric Starting and Lighting, and Left-Hand Drive Only Few Features.The electrical self-starting and lighting system of the White Six, in connection with the left-hand drive construction car, offers an advantage to the driver which is distinctive with this car alone. With this convenient combination the driver is enabled to step into the car from the sidewalk without being obliged to go around the car into the street to get into the seat, start the car or light the lamps.A self-starting system, even when it also lights the car, which very few of them do, is nowhere nearly so convenient on a car driven from the right-hand side, as it is necessary to walk around the car into the street to get into the driving seat. The advantage of the White Six arrangement is forcibly illustrated just at the present time of year, when the streets are usually covered with slush and mud.
