And then it will be ready for Mission Number Two: to do the same thing for its second owner. And so on, in turn, for its third owner and its fourth and, mayhap, for an almost indefinite number of others. In fact, a Cadillac just about refuses to give up, if it is treated fairly and driven with common sense. Even after the body has ceased to exist, the heart of a Cadillac often beats on. You can see those tough old engines and chassis everywhere. Maybe you'll see one supplying the power for a country sawmill ... or pulling a plow ... or serving as a truck, with an improvised body. Give it regular, decent care and a Cadillac chassis is all but indestructible from normal usage. Of course, as the purchaser of a new Cadillac, you would not expect to utilize more than a minor portion of this ability to serve. You would look forward to changing models from time to time, in order to enjoy the benefits of styling and engineering advancements. But what carefree and satisfying performance this quality foretells, for the period during which you would expect to keep the car! It is the world's best guarantee of the first owner's satisfaction. - All this, of course, is just one more solid reason for owning a Cadillac in addition to such obvious rea sons as beauty and luxury and pride of ownership.' Better come in today and be then of a Cadillac s proud and happy owners. SKINNER'S GARAGE 143 S. Riverside Medford Phone 2-6234
