ate in lining-up with such reliable

men as B. C. Hamilton of the Hamil
ton Garage of LaGrande, Wade Siler
of Enterprise and Masters e. Perkins
of Baker" Wade Siler while he has
been established in Enterprise only
a comparatively short time, has new
ertheless demonstrated his ability to
sell cars and at the same time give
satisfactory service. b. c. Hamilton
is an automobile man of long expert
ence who has built up one of the big
best businesses in LaGrande. Els
reputation for looking after the wants
of his customers has gone beyond the
confines of Union county. Master d
Perll ms are known as possibly the
oldest and best known automobile
dealers in eastern Oregon. The mere
fact that they handle a car is Ger
tain proof of it's worth in the minds
of Baker people. All of these dealers
had attended the Portland show,
where they had gone knowing the
Cadillac leadership-its fame as the
standard of the world. They came
| back from the show with this idea of
Cadillac superiority more clearly de-
| fined than ever before"
| Mr.. Goodwin says that the Cadillac
/ is as popular in Oregon as it is in
Idaho and, as the people of this state
realize, that's going some"
