DR.. Cages Picture
In "Pacemaker'

The current number of the Odds
mobile Pacemaker, a trode publ
cation issued by the Oldsmobile
automobile company, contains two
excellent pictures of winter ac-
Invites in st. Johnsbury. One
shows a scene on one of our typi-
cal Vermont roads in winter with
the following caption: "Dr. w. A.
Gage of st. Johnsbury, Vermont,
drives his fourth Oldsmobile, a
Model 43-A Roadster, every day in
the year over mountainous roads,
which are covered deeply with
srow in the winter. DR. Gage has
standardized on Oldsmobiles be-
cause of their dependability, pow
er and riding qualities, which are
essential to the medical man who
must reach the patient regardless
Of the road or the weather condi-
tons.
Another scene is Of the Golf
links in winter with the caption:
a group of Oldsmobiles enthusi-
asts gathered to enjoy the winter
sports at st. Johnsbury. Skating,
skiing and coasting are among the
winter sports sponsored by the
Commercial Club of this city.
These two pictures are a good
boost to the winter sports activi-
ties of St. Johnsbury. The publ
cation is distributed free through
Oldsmobile dealers and automobile
clubs of the United States and
Canada.
