FINDLEY BOB FISHER ! f rifefFTTir "inn 135 pii To the ManWho is Hesitating There are many motorists here in this community who have given serious consideration to the pur chase of a new Cadillac car this year and yet, for one reason or another, have not made the move. If you are among them, we hope that you will pause to read the little message that follows. For we are sure you will find it interesting. Ordinarily, when a man hesitates to make the move to Cadillac, it is because he is not familiar with the practical aspects of Cadillac ownership. Insofar as original cost is concerned, a Cadillac is eminently practical. Several models, in fact, are actually priced competitively with the so-called "medium-priced" makes. Operating and maintenance costs are also remarkably low. We have he? ' it said by new owners that Cadillac is the most economical auto mobile they have ever owned. And as for resale value well, Cadillac tradition ally retains a greater share of its worth through ' the years than any other motor car in the land. In short, the great Cadillac car represents one of the wisest and soundest automotive investments on the highway today. The moral of our message is this: It is still not too late to set things right in a 1956 Cadillac of your own! We have a selection of new Cadillacs on hand and we can promise you both prompt delivery and a generous trade-in allowance. Why not come in today? SKINNER'S GARAGE 143 South Riverside Medford .
