Brennan has been ill for several days and was taken to John B. Mur- phy hospital. News of his illness had been withheld until Brennan's illness became so serfous late Mon- day. Then the hospital issued a brief statement saying Brennan was dangerously ill, that the last rites of the church had been administered and that members of Brennan's | family had been called in.

Brennan, after an early career as a coal miner, had amassed a consid- erable fortune through insurance business in Chicago. hours. The bears are not chameleons by any means, but I do believe they ultimately change the shading of their hair. It may be simply a coincidence that the pelts which 1 saw corresponded with the predomi- nating tint of the country from which they came, but I am inclined to believe otherwise.

Only occasionally are all of these miles used by one owner. The American custom of turning in a car after an average use of two years, brings into the market every year several million “used cars.” And these offer oppor- tunities which more people are appreciating every year. The cars accepted by General Motors dealers in trade vary in name, body style and price. Some have seen sturdy service; in others the potential mileage has been scarcely touched. There is a wide field of choice for families want- ing transportation at the lowest possible cost, or wishing to own a car of a higher price class. Particularly do used cars present an easy way of own- ing a second or third car.
