First Cost vs Cost Per Mile

j AST year Packard She sales were far more than double 1924 volume. The reason for this greatly increased demand for Packard Six comfort, beauty and distinction is simple. An ever-growing proportion of the public is learning three important facts. These facts are. First. That the Packard Six is not high in price, costing far less than most men think. For example. the five-passenger sedan is but $2,600.00 delivered at your door. Second. That the. Packard "Six may be bought on a liberal payment plan which distributes its cost over a year. For example, the down payment on the fivepassenger sedan is $1,020.00. from which is deducted the value of the used car turned in. The monthly payments are then but $170.00

CThird. That it is better business and real economy to buy a good car and keep.it twice as long than to buy a succession of lowpriced yearly-model cars^^nd pay in depreciation more thartM saved in first cost. For example' . the car most frequently turned in by Packard Six buyers has been driven an .average of only I 5.087 miles' ’ Those thousands who bought Packard Six cars last year expect to V.^p them at least twice a§ long as the cars they turned in. And 98^ of those who bought Packard cars during the past six years are still Packard owners. Packard Six ownership costs lessby the mile. May we tell you more about this famous car?

SPEEDING THE SPOKEN WORD

Two telephones as invented by Alexander Graham Bell would, if connected by wire and charged with banco’, furnish simple intercommunication. But that portion of the present telephone plant represented by Bell’s in-1 vention comprises but about two per cent, of tl.e whole. The instrument on your desk is only the inbound and outbound terminal.’ ' .You measure its performance nrx in terms of the receiver and transmitter. 1 or of the intricate switchboard mechanisms and circuits tliat lie in between it and the telephone you call, but rather in terms of the facility and dependability wKh which it responds to your directions. That a load call shall be practically instantaneous, within the limit of machines atrd human hands to function, is not an unreasonable expectation. ’ That on average calls across the slate or the continent relatively lomrer' intervals are now required is probably understood. Yet there is reason to expect that as time goes on. with the further development i». operating equipment and methods now of practical use the placing and completion of calls to distant points will more and tiiorc c.osely approach the facility and speed of local connections. So great has been the recent improvement in these respects that com panson of 1926 will. 1906 or even 1916 would make ihe accomplishing oi those earlier years seem rather ordinary. Only by such progress does telephone service keep p, l c with the in. creasing reliance which American business puts on it. • w. W. BRITTAIN. DwWcz Stance.
