Almost without exception these busy girls say that washing dishes actually helps them to keep their hands lovely and white for the office —because they use Lux in the dish- pan. Nine out of every ten asked wash their dishes with Lux. As Miss Elsy Stephans, private secretary to the me—prmdem of a mrgc company, says: “I find that Lux in the dishpan keeps my hands looking lovely—and of course in my position it is ime= portant that my hands look dainty and well cared for.

" 2 Y family is large enough to need two cars. This year I'm going to keep my old car instead of trading it in on the new one. Of course trading it in would make a difference in the cost of the new one. But that’s outweighed many times by the convenience a second car will mean to us good for years more. “Iam enlarging my garage to make room for two cars. But that’s a good investment in itself because it will increase the value of my property and make it easier to sell. and our old car is A used car is unused transportation General Motors suggests that you keep your old car when you buy a new one. More and more families are doing it cach year. That is a reason why the number of two-car families has jumped from 300,000 to over 3,000,000 in ten years. Used cars have years of unused transportation in them; years of satisfactory performance. And the GMAC low-cost plan of purchase makes it easy to pay comfortably for the new car while you enjoy its use.
