Of should impress upon voungsters the importance of avs being alert and - watchful. Small children never should be al- lowed to go far from home unless attended by older persons. “The attention of parents is also called to the fact that shrubbery plots, which occupy the center of some streets, are often_an attraction for children at play. Youngsters in these plots are often temporarily concealed by the foliage and when they dart out into the street they are taking chances of being run over by ps motor vehicles. “Most children get a wonderful lot | of pleasure out of coasting down a | across street car tracks in ing vehicles, this is a pastime t is full of danger.

Before Packard Six enclosed cars were reduced in price by an average of $750, many men felt that Packard beauty, distinc- tion and comfort were beyond their reach. But now, the long pent-up desire for Packard Six quality and performance has been turned into an active, eager demand. It has been further stimulated by appreciation of the many important improvements on the new Packard Six models. Naturally the demand for the Packard Six is now far greater than any previous demand in Packard’s twenty-five years of fine car manufacture. Come in and let us show you the car which is creating thou- sands of enthusiastic, new Packard owners. PACKAR Packard Six and Pachard Eight both are furnished in ten body types.
