The Final Proof of Quality
In these days a man must exercise intelligent judgment in the administration
of his personal affairs. When he buys shoes, he must buy good shoes
for the very simple reason that poor shoes are frightfully extravagant.
When he buys a motor car, he must buy a good car for the same reason.
If you care to make a little investigation of the used car ma rkets, you will dis
cover the final proof of Paige quality. For it is a matter of record in
fifteen of the principal cities that Paige used cars bring, a higher price
proportionate to first cost than any other American automobiles.
