Day by day the world followed the
movements of the gigantic armies;
watched with tense anxiety the Hun foe
as he neared either Paris or the British
channel ports. Those were his real goals,
and from these bases he meant, step by

civilization, until the whole world was in
subjection to Berlin.

Case Automobiles Are
Sold by c. l. Conover

The Case six-cylinder automobiles
that are being exhibited at the Auto
Show by c. L. Conover cover a series
of designs that meet most all re-
quirements in automobiles.
The all-season model, a Springfield
type body, with it's artistic and sub
stantial refnements, interior perfec-
tions and riding comforts. presents
the distinctive appeal TO the ultra
fashionable and sensible automobile
owner. This car with the windows
in place makes the interior as snug
as bug in a rug in wintertime and
in summer with the windows low
cred into the sides in a manner that
makes it an attractive car for the
open season.
In the Family model, the lines of
this new Case Six seven-passenger
car are distinctly beautiful. Seven
passengers share the enjoyment of
deeply tufted upholstery and Mar
shall cushion springs. Front seat
comfort is one of the many features
of the new Case Six. Underslung
scmi-elliptic springs put that con-
soling satisfaction into the full rear
seats. Complete electrical equipment,
including dash and tonneau lights;
divided front seats; mahogany pam
cling in the eowl, and many other
features make this one of the desira-
lie touring cars.
The Sport model gives pleasurable
riding TO four passengers. Mechan-
ically the same as the seven -passen-
ger model. yet compact, the fascina-
tion of having party of two, three
or four snugly seated, riding at a
snails pace or at its premier pace of
sixty miles an hour. makes it enjoy
able and comfortable, 1t is a practi-
cal model for the professional or bus
mess man, and meets the class re-
quirements of the son or daughter.
