is a masterpiece. For him who
doesn't want to know there is mo-
tor in the car''-who just wants to
go and go, fast or slow, according
to his whim, and in perfect comfort
and silence, the Twin-Six also is a
revelation. For it provides travel free
from all consciousness of engine eff
fort-motion without the sense of ex-
erted power.
The new cars are lower than the
previous Packard models, with a
slightly more flowing line. Cushions
are lower and easier The new plait-
ed upholstery is smoother, handsomer
and easier to keep clean.
The choice of bodies is wide enough
to satisfy almost every taste and re-
quirement There are over forty styles
of open and enclosed bodies, includ-
ing Il number of special custom-made
build especially for the Packard
chassis.
The 2-25 and 2-35 are identical ex-
cept in size, the former having a
wheel base of 26 inches and the latter
80 inches. There is no difference in
quality and the unit power plant, COM
prising motor, clutch, and transmits
sion is interchangeable.
Tho Packard car is built throughout
in the Packard shops. No other auto
mobile is so thoroughly factory prod
uct of the company whose name it
bears. Practically all steel forgings are
especially heat-treated under the sup
ervision of expert metallurgists in the
Packard heat treatment plant-one of
the safeguards which makes your fam
lily Safest in the Packard.
Every Twin-Six is jealousy watched
through every step of it's manufacture
and assembly, but Packard vigilance
does not cease when the car has been
delivered to the purchaser. Packard
dealers throughout the country are
required to maintain a service de-
partment, an adequate service stock,
and an organization that will look to
the wants and needs of Packard own
ers at all times.

PACKARD TWELVE
MOTOR IMPROVED
Removable Head Attached to
Each Block of Cylinders
Is Marked Change

Distinctive lines, detail reflnements
and trustworthiness are marks of the
Packard Twin-Six exhibit at the Au-
tomobile Show and in our own show
room.
About eighteen months ago, the
Packard company created a big SEN
sation by placing before the public the
Twin-Six, on which it had been work.
ing quietly for several .'ears.
The new 2-25 and 2-85 Twin-Six
cars are the result of an added years
experience, study and research. The
most noticeable improvement, says Mr..
Is. 3. Harrington, manager of the local
branch, is the removable head at
tached to each block of cylinders
This makes for greater accuracy in
manufacture and for greater conven-
fence in keeping the motor well
groomed.
Greater efficiency in the use of the
lowgrade gasoline which has been on
the market for some time, has been
accomplished by the improved ar
rangement of the gas intake passages
and by locating the thermostat at the
outlet of the water-circulating sys-
lem, where it controls more definitely
the temperature of the engine.
The 12-cylinder idea has triumphed
in the eighteen months it has been
in use. The uniform torque, the great
er power, smoothness and flexibility of
the Twins together with character
istic Packard durability, has left no
doubt in the minds of users that the
12-clinder engine is the greatest auto
mobile motor ever built.
For the owner who delights in splen-
did mechanism, the Twin-Six motor

of Public Health Krusen, as a precau-
ton against petromortis, a disease
caused by inhaling gasoline fumes
from engine exhausts. DR.. Krusen

RATE GRAVES.

A pretty custom is observed in
Washington, as it is at Arlington, on
the other side of the capital city.
Since age has set its stiffening fin
gers upon the faculties Of the veter-
ans, youth is employed to serve as
hands and bending knees when it
comes to decorating the graves.
Bands of little girls clad in white ac-
company the Veterans to the burial
places. and as each grave is reached
a veteran stands at either side The
child salutes, then kIieels down and
lays a bouquet upon the grave, the
men standing at salute meanwhile.
Rising, the little Whitehead girl again
salutes, turns and all march away to
decorate the next grave.
This pleasing ceremony is also car
ried out at Battle Ground cemetery at
Washington, two miles north OF Sol

smallest national burying ground in
the United States, covers just one
acre of ground, but each Memorial

chief interest from the fact of its be
