It movos food nnd clothing to mer chants' stores nnd distributes them nmong tho peoplo who neod them. It movos materials for building purpos es. "Without transportation our cities would wither nnd dlo; peoplo would starvo. Without transportation, tho farmer would havo to loam again how to mnko his own clothing. 'Without transportation thoro would bo no progress. "And foremost of tho transpor tation mediums ot tho present and futuro stands tho automobllo.

SbbbSbbp -CSr iSFmBK The busy world of today pays homage to the motor car. Like other time and labor savers, it increases the pro-Juctive efforts of the human race, making possible the accomplish nent of greater tasks in a shorter period of time. If you arc contemplating the purchase of a motor car as an aid to timesaving, we ask that you consider especially the fivepassenger Paige Glenbrook. Here is a car which, in size, speed and power, is especially suited to the everyday needs of business. And, in beauty, comfort and mechanical excellence, it is quite the equal of higher priced cars. When you see the Light Six Paige, you will be agreeably sur prised, we believe, to realize that a car of such outstanding worth may be had at such a moderate price. uC .' , x Vn PAIQE'DETROIT MOTOR OAR CCMPANY, DETROIT, Mkhtgat.
