The case in question was replevin
action by the Packard Motor Car Com

ident of the Longacre Renting Company,
who leased the car TO the Longacre Rent
ing Company, from whom it was replev-

NEVER has a more important
IN automobile announcement been
made-Lexington starts off the after

separate counts:
First, you can get Lexington cars

Second, you can get ne1O models.
This is the important fact. Why is
it that Lexington is in this enviable
position? You will find this reason is
one of the best arguments for your
owning car built by this institution.
Prior to the war-curtailment of

to-date cars.
In addition, Lexington builders had
looked far ahead and anticipated

inventory of materials.
On top of all this, Lexington enjoys
wonderful production advantages be-
cause Of its affiliation with ten large
factories devoted to specializing in
motor cars parts.
This alliance permits quicker pro-
duction. it makes possible many man

and better built cars.
