Spoked Wheels Known in Times of Ancient Egypt "The recent discovery in the tomb of the Egyptian ruler, King Tutank- hamen, of chariots equipped with spoked wheels prove the ancient ori- gin of wheel work," says the Firestone New Service. While these historical vehicles were equipped with tires, they were not of the rubber variety, however, but massive iron bands that must have made shock absorbers a desirable thing for those who used such convey- ances.

BATTER] ACE SORE NEVER LOSES DISTINCTION s 7 > PACKARD CAN BUILD A PACKARD ONE Packard Six and Pack- ard Eight are both furnished in sen body types, open and en- closed. Packard's ex- tremely bevel ine. payment plan ma possible the immediate enjoyment of a Pack- ard -- purchasing out of income instead of capital. ASK THE MAN WHO OWNS The Packard Six represents every inherited tradition of Packard standards --carefully considered design, the best possible materials, the most painstaking workmanship in the industry. It represents, also, advancements in engineering ideas that are the fruit of Packard's 25 years of experience. These cars are striking examples of that exclusive quality that never permits a Packard to lose its peculiar distinction even ten years after purchase. After you have examined and ridden in the Six you will agree that only Packard can build a Packard. And if you ask any of the more than 40,000 owners of the Six they will tell you that their own facts and figures prove there is neither wisdom nor economy in paying less than the Packard price.
