Flowers for
the LIVING
smell sweetest
WE MORTALS generally
agree that it's nice to re
ceive a few bouquets while we
can still enjoy them. Vet the
sad fact remains that most good
citizens have to wait and read
their own obituaries to learn
they've been appreciated in
their communities.
John Jones ... so writes the
editor . . . has gone from
among us. He did everything
he could toward the upbuild
ing of this city. He was active
in the Community Chest, the
Chamber of Commerce, the
Rotary Club, and assisted every
movement concerned with civic
development, character build
ing, and social welfare.
Now we don't want to strike
a too lugubrious note. But
such activities, we realized long
ago, everywhere mark the good
citizen. Why wait, we asked,
to send flowers? Why not show
appreciation by an active de
cision to get in there and help?
Hence, in every community
where we have the man-power,
you'll find this Company work
ing as fellow-member of good
citizen organizations.
We've been doing this a long
time, now long enough to
learn definitely that our idea
is shared by others. Frequently,
now-a-days, somebody sends us
a bouquet for our good citizen
ship. And don't think that we
don't like it. We think it's fine
because we know it's true.

MAYBE YOU'VE SUSPECTED that something
like this wm happening.
Mavhe, in fact, you've helped spread the
word about the new 1W0 Packard.
But not even the most rabid Packard fan
would have dared to predict how far that
swing to Packard would go. Deliveries during
the thirty days ending September 20th were
159 ahead of the similar period last year.
It means that car buyers have discovered
that, this year. Packard has a car that is
incredihly good. And that this pulte-quick-ening
Packard can now be bought for little
n,e than the smallest and cheapest cars.' In
fact, Packard's 19(0 prices are the lowest
