No one knows better than Milton what hard work
it Is to pilot car at high speed But he found rest
full ease in his Packard Eight at speeds second only
to those Of specially designed racing cars.
Is it any wonder then that Milton has called the
improved Packard Eight "America's greatest carp
He means great in performance great in design and
beauty, great in ease and comfort.
Nor is Milton the only famous racing driver to give
the improved Packard cars the distinction of his

New Paving In New York
New York city iii the brief span
Of SIX years, from 1920 to 1925. has
added 6.706 900 square yards of
raising the total from 41,375. 900
square yards in 1920 to AZ, Os2 900
square yards IN 1926. Most Of the
new paving has been OF the higheak
types since 6.55l 900 square yards
OF the increase consisted of sheet
asphalt and asphaltic concrete.
While in 1920 the asphaItic types
made up CO., per cent Of New
York's paved area, the 1926 returns
show the proportion to be 63.6 per
cent.
Detroit has added new pavements

total payenlents Of all types ia the
three.year period from 1923 to 1895
was 2,864,299 square yards, while
the gain In sheet asphalt alone
greatly EXCEEDED the total gain with
q figure OF 3,2S7,144 square yards.
This apparent discrepancy is due
to the fact that for the past few
years sheet asphalt has been laid
almost exclusively in Detroit and
has replaced some Of the other
