An incident Occurred at work which I've taken the liberty to get on paper. During the winter months I've been working in Evanston. Riding over the ice and snow Audrey Seifert' and t have had our Share of excitement. One day the. car slid over the pavement into a btg snow drift. Five men shoveled the snow to get us out. If anyone needs help solving a mystery murder we can well assist. On our two-hour drive we listen to every detective F B.I.. etc. . ' Wieboldt's in Evanston, for whom I work, last week paid tribute to women who work and some seventy-five of the department store's 263 women employees proved they are as good home makers as they are store keepers. "Yours truly" was one of the seventy-five that entered two cakes for the contest. There were prizes ^in each of the three divisions, upside down, angel food and decorative. The pretentous cake in the picture won first prise in the decorativve division. Just luck, the fact 1 had a- rabbit's foot and a horseshoe had nothing to do with it. Mrs. Lillian Hoff had the prize winning angel food and Mrs. Mary Jacobson the upside down cake. BQ|h, are residents of Evanston. My other dream cake, which was more of a nightmare, a chocolate layer cake, turned upside down. Regular cake, $.66, upside down, $.99 The following card on the cake read "My favorite upside-> down cake," a $60,000 prize recipe madetfrom the "never-let-you-down cake flour." That won honorable mention; some honorable person mentioned if I ever brought a cake like that again I wouldn't .be there to see it. I wholeheartedly agreed with him. Tt was a zany idea. The judging of the cakes took place at 8:30. I wasn't nervous much, felt like death warmed oveT. fn an hour some kind person came upstairs to take pictures. Had me a 4>it worried, the man had such a good camera. After a few pictures I returned to the book department (trying to Impress Miss Rosa, my manager, how ambitious I am). I was there ten minutes when again I got rushed away for more picture. Felt like Mrs. Ferris, the big wheel at Riverview. The temperature dropped lower and lower and people who braved the cold were sure to leave the door open in their mad scramble to get into the store. It was decided that Dorothy Bond would leave with chills and fever, if not pneumonia, so easel, books, posters and paper were moved to the center aisle. Then we waited. The buyer ran back and forth to the parking entrance, the reception committee, the lords of industry, stopped by every few minutes to welcome our star. the d i s p l a y b o y s h o v e T e d a b o u t hoping the set was as it should he-Vand still no Dorothy. I was playing the cash register with one eye on proceedings when a luscious blonde, followed by five stalwart men, came into my department asking for Miss Conway. I almost collapsed when she said she was Dorothy Bond. With pride, flutters and jitters I abandoned the book department and led the star to the scene of activities. This concludes by memorable day at Wieboldt's with the exception of mentioning Dorothy Bond's sketch, a cartoon of me. And you know, surprisingly, I look better than In real life.

The car will be at your service throughout your pleasure. Give it reasonable care and reasonable usage, and there" is no practical limit to a Cadillac's utility. Authenticated records show various Cadillacs well into their mond five hundred thousand miles of service. Of course, the, original owner seldom has any requirement for such exceptional mileage. Being progressive, he wishes to change his cars design teat with Cadillac's advancement appearance. - But he benefits, all the same, from this wonderful capacity for service. It means that, month after month and year after year, his Cadillac performs magnificently--with the minimum of care and attention. The great Cadillacs for 1951, now gracing America's streets and highways, are built in the finest traditions of Cadillac quality. If you have not inspected them, you ought to do so. We'd be happy to see you--at any time. Wt trt sorry indeed that delay in delivery of new Cadillacs continues unavoidable. Not only is the demand beyond all precedent, but much of the company's materials must, of necessity, be allocated to defense production. Thousands of Cadillac's craftsmen are already engaged in this effort. If you are waiting for a Cadillac, please be patient-- *Md to your pMrfte.
