We all& know that splitting logs issn't i»the easiest past time in the world. But there is compensation, for nothing is/nicer than a cozy firs on a cold night. But when you're splitting the logs and someone else is enjoying the fire, that's a horse of a different color. So if anyone knows who is "borrowing" logs from a hard working resident of Wooded Shores, will you please tell them about "Honest Abe Lincoln". and maybe they'll split their own. I know it's hard work but it could be the first step to a pretty good job.

C(^(/i/%ze~anclnctaction cf Thtfre are several ways that a man can pay the price of a new Cadillac car--and find himself in possession of an automobile of far less stature. Because there are many motorists currently considering the purchase of their next car, we would like to enumerate these ways of going astray. 1. Assume that the purchase price of a new Cadillac car is higher than it actually is. (There are eleven models of other makes that this year cost more than the lowest-priced Cadillac model.) 2. Fail to appreciate that the basic price of a new Cadillac includes important things that are extra on many other cars. (Including automatic transmission. ppwer steering and power braking.) 3. Neglect to find out from a Cadillac dealer what your present car is worth in trade. (He is especially anxious this spring to welcome new owners.) And if you take one of these detours, think of all the Unique pleasures you could be missing. There is Cadillac's styling--so majestic that it attracts attention wherever it goes. There is Cadillac's comfort--so wonderful that every journey becomes a brief vacation. And there is Cadillac's performance--so great that it is without rival on the world's highways. So we suggest that you play it safe--and get all the facts from your dealer soon. You might be closer to a Cadillac than you think.
