You dont hav to argy that with

Over-All Debt Is
$442,000,000,000
Public and private debt in the
United States, on December 31.
1949, amounted to $442,002,000,000.
This represented an increase of
about two and one-half per cent
for the calendar year, 1949.
Of this indebtedness, the Fed
eral Government owed about
.$210,500,000,000 and state and lo
cal governments owed $18,000,
000,000 The rest of the sum rep
resents indebtedness incurred by
the people and corporations of the
United States in their own bus
iness affairs.
This tremendous total of in
debtedness would have scared fi
nanciers to death thirty years ago
Nobody would have believed that
the nation and its people could
carry such a financial burden ex
cept in the greatest distress. Nev
ertheless. something like prosper
ity seems to be abroad in the land
and few seem to be concerned
about the amount owed or how it
will be paid.
Boys air rollin up ther prices of
thay manufactured craps. And
then lets see sumthin bout ther
farmers roll-up.—Ther Agercultal
Department says here on this
sheet that ther farmers got fer
thay—
Flu curd Tobacker 3 times as
much in 1949 as in 1939: Cotton 3
times as rttuch in 1949 as in 1939;
Corn 2 times as much in 1949 as
in 1939: Wheat 2 times as much in
1949 as in 1939; Milk 3 times as
much in 194ft as in 1939, Beef
Cattle 3 times as much in 1949 as
in 1939; Veal Calfs 3 times as
much in 1949 as in 1939. Now
dont that show that fer evv one

\ilestone in a f .areen
We see it happen over and over again —
and it’s one of , the greatest satisfactions
we enjoy in this happy business of selling
Cadillac cars.
It’s when a man comes into possession of
his first Cadillac—and we witness the
wonderful, wonderful things it does for him.
We see his happiness as he places his order
—not as the result of a sudden inspiration,
but because he has gradually reached the
conclusion that he has earned the right to
the unquestioned best. A Cadillac buyer has
his mind made up when he starts to move.
And then wc see him on that happy day
when his ear is available for delivery--and
he settles himself so proudly behind the
wheel.
He’s a little quizzical, we sometimes note.
Could it be, he wonders, that he’s antici
pating a bit too much?
And then he’s out in the street—headed
for home the long Kay 'round. 1 here are
some things a man wants Jo try for himself
— with no on'e near to watch him!
Those are thrilling days that follow.
There’s the first long ride with the family
... the first trip to the office, with a waiting
delegation to admire his choice . . . and
there’s the time he learns, in an emergency,
that his car is worth its whole price in
safety alone.
And then, almost before he knows it, the A
odometer registers a thousand miles—and
he’s back to tell us all about it. And, per
haps, to grumble a little bit at giving it up
for a checking over. It’s .hard to part front
a great new love, even for a little while!
, Yes, it’s a priceless privilege to watch all
this. Makes a man feel that he s doing good.
