In dedicating ourseives to so huge a task, we must call upon every resource that is available. At home as on the firing line our vital problem of transportation can be very largely solved by the motor car and motor truck. With vast supplies moving to the seaboard, it becomes a patriotic duty to travel by the road and thus release railway equipment for the government. The hustling executive must have the right of way he must swing down the line nn high gear he must realise that the time saving automobile is essential to his success and the cause which he champions. AnJ now just a word about our product. The Paige is merely one of America's high grade motor cars, but we are proud of the part that it is playing in this national crisis. In the field of mechanical products, the Paige nameplate stands as an unques tioned guarantee of honest manufacturing and fair dealing. We ask you to buy that nameplate rather than four wheels and a painted body. We ask you to buy a refutation that has endured through many fitful periods in the motor car industry a reputation that will endure so long as Paige cars arc made for and sold to the American people.
