While others drive in Swept-Wing style <* Poor Bill just mutters curses vile: "They got new styling, features, too-- "I bought a 'deal'--boo-hoo, boo-hoo!" Moral: Yesterday's looks and features are no bargain at any price! No car fe a bargain if it's obsolete in styling and engineering features. And the Swept-Wing Dodge actually obsoletes other cars in its field with its low, low look of toQSQnow and revolutionary advances like Torsion-Aire Ride, Push- Button TorqueFlite and Total-Gontact Brakes. So don't get "bargain-talked" into yesterday's styling and features. The same money buys the car that's years ahead. See your Dodge dealer. Join the swing to the Swept-Wing Dodge. <4 Garden Club News TTie Wonder Lake Garden club took a second place red ribbon for its barbecue buffet setting at the flower show aOur Town" presented by the' Bull Valley, Kishwaukee Valley and Woodstock Garden clubs June 15 and: 16.
