STAtilSiCH AMD DEPENDABLE
Flashing suddenly into theAmcrican market,
the Dodge Standard Six has swept instantly ,
forward to spectacular success ..... Not .
alone because it is the fastest Six in the
world selling below $1000, but also because it
possesses more style, luxury and roominess.
1 And because it is Dodge-staunch and Dodge-
dependable built to carry one horsepower
for every 47 pounds of car weight! A fact
that explains its nma.ing speed, pick-up
and power on the hills.
Drive this remarkable car today and you
will understand why its performance is the
talk of the country.

What 'Does It tost
You t6:XiiaE:
Consider just the question of depreciation alone, for example. An -Eastern
Oregon Packard owner bought his Packard sedan six years ajro,
. . - has run it over 75,000 miles. lie is buying a new Packard sedan for
$2,595, selling his old car for $700. .
This owner's car depreciation in six years has been $1,900 just $330 a
year $27 a month. And he enjoyed the comfort, pleasure and per
formce of a Packard! How much per month has it cost YOU to own a
less satisfying-car? Figure it out for yourself. You'll see how you
haVe paid for a PACKARD without having the pleasure of owning one!
THE PACKARD OWNER PAYS LESS, IS MORE ECONOMICAL IN CAR
OWNERSHIP!
- CompaVe the cost of Packard, ownership; point for point, with any other car in the
popular or high-priced class. It's less for insurance practically equal on tire cost
, less on total repair bills about the same on tire mileage and gas and oil consumption.
National statistics show original Packard owners keep their cars an aveitige of 37
months oyer three years and original owners of other popular-priced cars keep them v
an average of 16 months less than a year a year and a half. Think of the deprecia
tion cost! x "
The man who buys a Packard'is paying less, is moie economical in his car ownership
than he could possibly be by buying in the so-called popular-priced class. We can dem
onstrate this to you from your own experience. See the new Packards at our special
showing Sunday arrange for a demonstration next week. Yoii can easily finance
the purchase of a Packard on our payment plan.
