During the month from March Is to

of things they are much less easy to

BOON TO SMALL FRY

Many small manufacturers are IN
able to enter the export market be-
cause they cannot afford to go to the
expense of protecting their trade mark
made in the foreign markets. To these
manufacturers. permission to use
national trade mark at a nominal fee
woul be great boon. if such mark
were protected by the Government.
throughout the world. 1t will also be
q boon to many larger manufacturers
who have had their own trade marks
prated in one or more foreign couu-
tries, In such countries these large
manufacturers need only place the
nation~ emblem upon their products.
The foreign consumer, therefore will
soon recognize that even goods bear
ing an American private brand are not
necessarily American. unless such
brand is accompanied by the nationaI
trade mark
small manufacturers are now at
quite disadvantage as compared
with large manufacturers because of
the inability of the latter to expend
huge sums in nationally advertising
their products. The quasi.monopolv
secured in this way by large manufac.
turers will he to a very large extent
vitiated by permitting the small mann.
facturer of integrity to use upon his
goods of recognized quality the ma.
tional symbol which will be freely ad-
vertised throughout the world to far

CADILLAC SUBURBAN
 MAKES APPEARANCE

Recognizing the fact that there is a rapidly growing demand for a motor car that is suitable and comfortable in all weathers and all seasons the Cad lilac Motor Car O. has produced a new type which the owner himself can drive in town and in touring, in winter and in summer.
 The new car known as the Subur- ban, is built on the 132-inch wheel base Cadillac chassis in order to af- ford ample room for it's seven passen- gers and the impeachment which is ordinarily carried in touring. The front seat is unusually wide and set at an angle which robs a long ride or drive of much of it's tedium. The aux Hilary seats are large, comfortably up- holstered, and so placed as to afford maximum room both for their occu- pants and those in the rear seat.
 Four wide doors provide entrance and exit for front and rear compart- ments. Door windows are readily lowered to their full length, and the body windows at the rear seat drop two-thirds affording complete free dom of air circulation. The side and rear windows are provided with silk sunshades. Body construction throughout is of aluminium.
 The new Suburban is a well ba1anc- ed car, and has demonstrated to the satisfaction of its designers it's great comfort on country roads. It is a car of the utmost utility, practical for summer and winter use, and for all the variations between the extremes of heat and cold.
