Delicious Cake
As You Cart
Tell by Tasting
Ivinssponge Cake is golden
with the goodness of pure eggs,
clean milk and country butter.
Carefully timed and tested
ovens bake it "just to a turn"
not a burnt corner or a heavy
side crust fluffy all through.
Serve Ivinssponge Cake to
night or its popular compan

PACKARD TRUCKS VALUED
ON 100,000 MILE BASIS
Truck economy cannot be gauged by the first cost of the
truck, nor by the figures of the first year's operation alone.
The one conclusive test is What economy will the truck
show in 100,000 miles of operation?'9
I ROB ABLY the best customers for
Packard trucks are the many solid,
well established mercantile and manu
facturing houses of America.
They have been in business for years and they
expect to stay in business for years longer.
When they buy trucks they are buying
transportation. And they know that the capacity
of the Packard to maintain economy in 100,000
miles of service, makes a Packard worth as much
as three ordinary trucks each at half the price.
a? a n
The greatest mercantile house in Chicago
wrote off the value of sdme of its Packard trucks
four years ago. These trucks are still running in
first class condition.
Fifteen thousand miles a year for nine years is the
average of several trucks in the service of another
great department store.
What a small factor in transportation expense,
is the first cost of any of these trucks!
These long distance transportation, records
show another important thing. .
They demonstrate that long life and low up
keep expense go together.
Because the same quality of engineering design
and careful scientific building which makes possi
ble upwards of 100,000 miles with a Packard truck,
also keeps it on the road with the minimum of
attention and grooming.
??
8
You may have occasionally heard a man say
that when you buy a Packard truck you are pay
ing for a name.
That is quite true and a very small price it is
for the insurance that the name gives you.
When Packard sells you freight transportation
or passenger transportation, or even transporta
tion by air it is delivering to you the results
of the most complete transportation engineering
organization ever brought together and it
furnishes the cheapest transportation per mile
you can buy.
For figures see the Freight Transportation
Department of your Packard Branch or Packard
Distributor.
