When I talked! to Mabel she and Joe had the- whole ,• back seat of their car filled and ready to be taken to their distribution center. Both Mabel and Joe were amazed that (h* ' column reached so many people , out side of the Highlands. Just shows it pays to advertise and my humble efforts in compiling the news every week are well worth it. I am most happy that the response has been so great They will accept all -cards at aiiy time, and are yery willing to make all the trips necessary to get them where they will do the most good.

THERE IT GOES WINNING MORE HEARTS AGAIN! Every time a Cadillac goes by, it seems someone foils in love with it. Last, year, for instance, more people moved up to Cadillac than ever before in history. And the way 1964 is starting off, Cadillac is going to attract more owners than even its beguiling predecessor. Why? We think the answer is easy. ^ Each year Cadillac simply lengthens its margin of product leadership--by introducing advancements and improvements that are entirely its own. In 1964, for example, we've combined the heater and air conditioner ih a single unit--with a single control. You set the thermostat at your favorite temperature just like you do at home--and the interior of the ear holds it winter and summer. We call it Comfort Control*. Mm *xtra-co»t option. Then there's Cadillac's new Twilight Sentinel*. When it's time to turn on the lights, they switch on automatically . . . and then turn off when sufficient daylight returns. And in the evening, the headlights can be set to light your path from car to doorway and then turn off automatically after yoti have entered the house. There's a lot more about the 1964 Cadillac just as new and! just as exciting. Take performance, for example. There's the exciting new 840 h.p. engine--the most powerful in Cadillac history--combined with the smoothness of an improved Hydra-Matic or the completely new Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission. Give in to your heart and get behind the wheel. Let your authorized Cadillac dealer introduce you to " America's most desired motor car.
