othei woman. Hoagy Carmichael,
tamed most prehaps as tunesmith
for the now-classic "Stardust,’’

ly scored an impressive acting
triumph as the negro in "Intruder
in the Dust."

in l'or both a musical and drama
tic experience, for the film con
tains a number of hit tunes sung
by Doris Day and interpreted by
famed musicians representing
the bands of Harry James, the
Dorseys, Duke Ellington, Charlie
Barnett, Stan Kenton, Vaughn
Monroe, Phil Harris and Spade
Cooley.

BE SURE—check the Telephone
Directory before making a call
Telephone numbers, especially those recently learned or
seldom used, have a way of getting mixed up in our
minds. So why take chances on wrong numbers——you
need only a second or so to check the telephone directory
to make sure you are calling the right number. You'll
Snd it always leads to better telephone service.

It may have been !>nt a decade ago,
or it may have been far back in the
“Twenties” I . < but sometime, some
where, a young man stood in the soft
light of a Junetime morning and
repeated the words—“I do.”
^ Since that time, he has fought —with
out interruption —for the place in the
world he wants his family to occupy.
J^And It‘wel! may be that, out of the
Struggle, lie has lost just a bit of the
«enUJHent^thabused.to abide in his
heart —for success is a jealous master
and exacts great servitude.
But not when the Junetime comes —
and, with it, that. anniversary ol
another J une! i
Then the work-a-day world, with its
many tasks, is east abruptly aside; and
sentiment—pure and simple—rules in
his heart once more.
f And, because there are so many
thousands oi him, doorbells are ringing
this June throughout America , , . and
smiling hoys in uniform stand, hats In
hand, to deliver the proofs of remem
brance. And along with the beautiful
flowers, and the boxes of candy, and
the countless other gilts, some of those
brides of other Junes will receive the
titles to new Cadillacs.
And, for them, there will be no other
June like this—save one alone.
As your Cadillac dealer in this com
munity—we’ve had long practice in the
art of keeping secrets. Why tint come
sec us today? You can trust usiiot to tell!
