The CADILLAC Combines Luxury and Economy
Economy consists not in saving, but in selecting. It is no trick
to build a handsome enclosed car which will take you there and bring
you back with comfort and convenience. But designing and building
an economical enclosed car is a fine art. To choose between the essen
tial and the non-essential; to choose the weight, proportion and ma
terial which will give the maximum utility and service—this is the
task of the experienced designer.
There isone guiding principle in Cadillac construction—the greatest
usefulness at the least possible initial cost and lowest possible price.
To buy a cheap car, you get less service and comfort per dollar of
cost; to pay more, you get merely an added host of expensive non
essentials.
If you will drop in at the showroom or send a phone call we will
show you more conclusively what Cadillac economy comprehends.

Relief from Eczema
V d)
Don't worry about eczema or other
skin troubles. You can have a clear,
healthy skin by using a little zemo,
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
extra large bottle at SI.OO.
Zemo generally removes pimples,
blackheads, blotches, eczema and ring
worm and makes the skin clear and
healthy. Zemo is a clean, penetrating,
antiseptic liquid, neither sticky nor
greasy and stains nothing. It is easily
applied and costs a mere trifle for each
application. It is always dependable.
