But we do feel, in all honesty, that the motorist who hnds himself in that happy circumstance this rail IS particularly fortunate. For Cadillac has never offered so many wonderful things, in such abundant measure, as it does today. It is supremely beptiful—with grace and dignity and rnajesty that set it instantly apart from the rest of the world s motor cars, ^ Its performance is simply breath-taking—even when measured against Cadillac’s own extraordinary standards. And the car is luxurious and distinctive and pride-inspiring far beyond its iUustrious predecessors. . In addition to all this, the current Cadillac creation IS unbelievably practical to own and economical to operate. The lowest-priced Cadillac, for instance, now costs less than twenty-two different models of other makes of motor cars manufactured in America. And you can ride out a normal, full day’s journey on a single tankful of gasoline. As if this were not sufficient to set it apart, a Cadillac car according to an authoritative study of used car prices—may be expected to return a greater f^rcentage of its owner’s original investment at the time of resale than any other motor car in the land! So—if you are considering a Cadillac for yourself and your family—come in and order one today I right thing to do—and it’s the right time to Dundee Road PINEHURST GARAGE CO., Inc. Pinehurst, N. C,
