Kindling the Sabbath Light

THE purchase of an automo-
bile is primarily an investment
in machinery. The unique value
of the Cadillac as a piece of fine
machinery is one of the reasons
why most of our customers
never think of changing to any
other car.

A Paige Picnic Makes a Perfect Day
❑
Picnic joys today are not complete without a car—a good
car like the Paige that carries the whole family comfort ,
ably and securely to the country or to the water side.
❑
❑
❑
❑
No stuffy trains or crowded boats, but a sturdy Paige that
gives you freedom to go and come as you please, saving
time and adding greatly to the pleasure of the day.
Picnickers find the Paige ideal because the same reliable
service they derive from their car in daily use is what
they need when they take time out for a big day in
the country. They want a dependable, comfortable
car and they find it in the Paige.

amply bears out that first good impression.
