cAn analysis by the
Packard Motor Car Company

There are many thousands of
Packard Trucks in industrial
service. They are not only keep
ing essential business going, but
they are taking a heavy load off
the over-burdened railroads.
And of the $4,000 Packard
passenger cars in use-many are
devoted to war-work, most Of
them to essential transportation.
These wheels must be kept
turning - not only to hold faith
with the Packard owners, whose
confidence and goodwill are the
finest assets of the Packard Com
pany; but because the Nation
cannot afford to have its trans
portation contracted.

much speculation both in London and

With the American Army in Eng

army returns to the United States
there will go with it, or at about that
time, many women who, though Brit
ish born, have become American citi-
zens. They have married American
soldiers and the indications are that
their example will be followed by
many others.
Marriage of men while in the serv-
ice is not regarded with favor either
by the war department or by officers
at headquarters in England but con-
sent to a wedding has been given in
more than one camp.
So far the marriages have been be-
tween the English girls and the en-
listed men, and in. some cases the
bride has worm the uniform of one of
the many women's auxiliary corps of
the British army. In such cases the
girl has continued in the service of
her country and the goodbyes when
orders have come for moving have
included the expression of the hope
that they may "see each other in
