Complete, it has en atmosphere of refinement, distinction and complete comfort, while its shops are models of utility and economy. Furnishings and decorations m the display salons cost upward in the tens of thousands of dollars. Model Service Station A tour through the service depart- ments affords one a splendid idea of the remarkable development of the automotive industry. This is not a garage but a miniature Cadillac plant where expert attention can be given every machine brought into the tes- ters' room. The work-shops, comprising the en- tire second floor of the building, present a busy scene any day of the year, what with numbers of cars (most a tailed an investment of about $200,000. of them bearing Evanston, Wilmette, Its display rooms and offices bear an • Winnetka and Glencoe License plates) undergoing the various processes of inspection. This service station has its Cadillac owners on a regular schedule for oil- and greasing, bat it also carries the Cadillac ports and employs men who know how to adjust them. Flat prices are charged on all work, so that the Cadillac owners know before work is started on his car just what the cost will be. Every car is given a thorough road test before being given the final O. K. A tour through the service station will be one of the most interesting items on the program at Saturday's formal opening.

There was no obvious reason why even the minor changes should be made. The new model Single-Six is evidence, however, of the spirit which moves Packard to strive ceaselessly toward an ever greater measure of perfection. The more than 30,000 owners, in whose opinion the Single Six cannot be greatly improved, will be gratified to know that the car remains unchanged in fundamentals of engi- neering and manufacture. The chief improvements in the Single-Six are: ist. Four-wheel brakes, as regular equipment; two additional brakes on rear wheels--a total of six; and. Improved steering ease; larger steering wheel; 3rd. A jBtill heavier and smoother transmission; 4th. Artillery wheels of enhanced appearance; 5th. Battery located on the running board, as in the Straight-Eight, and enclosed in a theft-proof box. These improvements, of course, make the new Single-Six an even greater value, a still more saving investment.
