Kvery time a new annual model motor car comes out, the fellow who has bought one of that make recently sees 40 per cent go off his Investment right away. Ills IKW car becomes obsolete. Tct It douM. less lias many miles of good servtco in It, which would bo profitable to the owner If ho didn't face tho em. barrassment of drlvlrur a "last yeur's model." Home manufacturers guided by sound economic prln. clple, have decided not to have any more annual model changes, so Mm man who buys tho car can use It without embarrassment until iK has had the full investment returns from It. With a car built so care fully and with such staunch ma. terlals that It Is good for 1 00.001) miles and more, It is a waste to make It obsolete with a "new an. nual model." - 7JZU?Vr. ;-y gas FOR COLD MORNINGS VELTEX' WINTER CAROLINE solves the cold weather prob'em for all rnotoridU.
