vu are paying
for a PACKARD
Why not own one ?
It really costs no more to own a distinguished Packard
Standard Eight than a lower priced vehicle of like size.
Operating costs are no greater. And the higher first cost
is completely offset by the longer period the Packard owner
gladly keeps his car.
THERE in a nutshell is the
reason to many of your
friends and acquaintances are
driving Packard cars.
Why not enjoy the distinction
and satisfaction of Packard
ownership yourself?
Let us give you a Packard
demonstration the new kind
of demonstration with facts and
figures set down on paper in
black and white!
Wc can quickly show you that
gasoline, oil and tire costs are just
as great for your present car as
for a Packard if your car com
pares with a Packard in size. This
is true even if your present car
cost but half the Packard price.
And we can show you that
license, Insurance, garaging and
repairs for your present car cost
just as much in the aggregate as
they would cost for a Packard.
This leaves only depreciation to
consider. And depreciation on
half-price cars traded in every
two years or so is just as great
as depreciation on a Packard
kept twice that long.
That is why we say, "You are
paying for a Packard."
And that is why we invite you
to own one.
We know you will want to
keep your long-lived, always
modern Packard far longer in
.months and miles than you
ever kept a lesser car. And that
its beauty and luxury will be a
source of satisfaction long after
the purchase price has been
forgotten.
The price of the most popular
model of the Packard Standard
Eight the five-passenger Sedan
is but $2485 at the factory. Ten
other body styles are available on
the IIVA and 134'2-inch wheel
bases at from $2425 to $2885.
Why not let us appraise your
present car and tell you about
the convenient Packard monthly
payment plan X

From Declaration of Purposes.
"We omphatlcully and sincerely

in our organic law, that the
Grange, national, state or subordin
ate Is not a political or party or
ganization. No Grunge, if true to
its obligations, can discuss parti
san or sectarian questions, nor call
political conventions, nor nominate
candidates, nor even discuss their
merits in its meetings.
"Vet tile principles we teach
underlie all true politics, ail true
statesmanship, and if properly car
ried out, will tenil to purify the
whole political atmosphere of our
country. Kor we seok the great
est good to tho greatest number.
"We must always hear in mind
that no one, by becoming a Patron
of Husbandry, gives up that in
alienable right and duty which be
longs to every American citizen,
to take a proper interest In the
politics of his country.
"On tho contrary, It is. right for
every mouther to do all in his.
power legitimately to liu'liicnce for
good the action of any political
party (o which ho belongs. It is
Ills duty to do all ho can to put
down bribery, corruption and trick

to the SmooMlnwlcy tariff bill.

not fulfill the promises of the He

bill that woulo. raise agricultural
products to an equality with in
dustrial goods. "Industry has re
ceived ten increases under the
Smoot-lliiwley tariff bill for every
