A USED CAR
PROCLAMATION!

Owing to the popularity of the
new Type 81 model and the consen-
sus of public opinion that the
Cadillac can be depended upon to
do all the things an automobile is
intended to do; do them better than
any other car, regardless of price or
size, - we have taken in trade a
large number of used cars, which
must be sold in the next few weeks.
Inventory time necessitates a
sweeping removal of our entire
stock. Never before has this COM
pany offered bigger car values than
at the present. With the record
breaking delivery of new Cadillac
models the past month we have
added to our stock a great variety
of used cars, which we are willing
to move Immediately at big reduc-
tons in price. Here is an oppor-
tunity to buy the car you always
wanted at an attractive figure.
The Directors of Neel-Cadillac
Company have decreed that an
opportunity to become the owner of
one of these cars be given to present
owners as we'll as non-owners. If
you already own an automobile, we
will trade in your present car as part
payment for better one. You can't
afford to pass up this opportunity.
We are not in the used car
business. This department we
maintain solely as an adjunct to our
new Car sales.
Don't pass up this chance to
take advantage of honest-to-good-
ness used Car values at prices that
will not prevail again for long
time to come.

came, is verified daily. Too many

view of life. and too many suffer for

where fortunes are piled up from
poverty, there is too often tenden-

rather than the result of toll and in

genius for money-making that a few
possess.
The boy, therefore, imagines it
will do no harm if he idles for a
while. When he is ready to settle
down he can easily acquire wealth
by peculiar sharpness that quite

many boys and girls fail to make
