Your judgment tells you that those who drive Cadillacs are likely to be people of importance—and are very probably in the public eye. It is small wonder that you feel this way about people who own and drive these distinguished cars. For more than half a century, Cadillac has been a favorite car of the leading people in every com- munity across the land. For Cadillac is the on/y car in America whose name has consistently been reserved for the finest cars it is practical to produce. People who want the finest have learned to come to Cadillac—as the tide goes with the moon! Of course, you don’t have to be a prominent person in order to find a reason for moving up to Cadillac. There is every practical reason for owning a Cadillac —as well as every personal one. Under normal driving conditions, the Cadillac car will run a full day on a single tankful of gasoline. The lowest priced Cadillac costs /ess than twenty- two models of other makes of American-built cars. And a Cadillac, according to an authoritative study of national used car prices, will return a greater share of its owner’s investment at the time of resale than any other motor car in the land. So whether you are promincnt, or whether you are Practical—Cadillac is your perfect choice! Better come in and see us. Cadillac was never so fine and beautiful as it is today—and it was never more practical to own and enjoy. We're at your service—any time you wish to call? MULBERG CHEVROLET CO.
