our work. And the result is a real
motor car-not makeshift or COM
promise.
In brief. while we agree that first cost Is
an important consideration, we are
convinced that Ultimate cost is vastly
more important.
We believe that the only true test of
economy is twelve months Of hard.
gruelling service on the road.
We believe that freedom from repair
bills and excessive depreciation is
infinitely more desirable than a mere
catch-penny list price.
These are our convictions. We have
held to them staunchly during many
fitful periods in the motor car indus
try. So long as the Paige Company
is factor in the making and dis
tributing of motor cars, we shall
continue to adhere to them.
And it is because Of these convictions,
and their practical application to
manufacturing, that the Paige car is
regarded as a preferred Invest
ment' in every automobile mart of
the world.
The Glenwood post., 1918-04-20
The "Preferred Investment"

The wise man selects his motor car
investment in much the same way
that he selects first mortgage bond
or any other high grade security.
He looks for permanent, enduring
q4ality-r1ot mere surface veneer.
He looks to the integrity of the
manufacturer, the critical expressions
Of the average owner and the history
of the product over a period of years
1t is on this basis that we would have
you consider the Paige.
From the standpoint Of initial cost,
ours is not a cheap motor car.
There are many cars on the market
that sell for less money than the
Paige and we could readily build them
ourselves if we considered that the
best policy. But we don't.
We firmly believe that self-respect,
comfort, and enduring satisfaction
have an actual market value. So we
build those things into our product.
We take just little more tine-just a
little more care in the selection of
n1aterials-just a little more pride in

DIVIDED FOOD WITH INDIANS
Splendid Spirit of Seif-Saerifce
Shown by Party OF White Trav-
eers in the Far North.

The day of adventure. romance and
sentiment in the wilds, is recalled by
the arrival mt Quebec couple of days
ago of two meR and woman, the
wife of one of the men, after 950-
mile drive by dog sledge across Tn
EaYa in 50 days. When the party ar
rived at the first outpost on the brim
of civilization the first act was to re-
plenish food supplies which were com
pletely exhausted. and all hands with
an appetite. Then the trio pushed for
ward again after the first meal in al
most a month, because halfway across
the white wastes the party discovered
ten Indian families slowly starving.
with no one to go for FOOD and no
one to bring any to them.
The sledge party was prOyisioned to
the ounce for It's trip of almost Two
months but could not leave without
doing mething-although pitifully
little-for the starving Indians. An
other careful calculation was made
and each OF the three consented 70
live on the least possible ration and
take q chance on accident or loss Of
supplies by storm or other means. All
except what the party believed would
sustain life against the cold was left
with the Indians and when the trav-
elers reached the first outpost they
had been some time without food and
were strenuously hungry. The food
supply of the dogs could not be re-
duced, as the only hope of safety for
the party was in the "huskies,' so the
humans ate practically nothing while
the dogs got their regular allowance.
The story of the long drives across the
northern snow fields Is familiar in
modern fiction but occasionally mar
rative of fact as in this case presents
reading that maintains the essence of
adventure and romance quite as well.
The spirit that surrenders food to
starving savages or barbarians, mid
way of a 900-miles journey over end
less snow with no surer guarantee of
safety than the willingness of team
of dogs is that which underlies the
world struggle in Europe.

If you could not yet serve, you could

Either you strained your resources

disqualification for active service is
no justification for forgetting the boys

The war will be fought to the bitter
