Whatever you want most in a car
beauty, size or performance-you get it
in extra measure in a Pontiac. In fact,
when you choose Pontiac the decision
comes very easily because Pontiac alone,
at its price, gives you everything!
For example, take Pontiac's distinctive
smartness. Certainly there is no question
on this point. Pontiac is the one car that
stands apart from all the others.
If it's size and big-car sure-footcdness
you want-Pontiac' your car! p ntiacs

"You can fetch them tomorrow Pa replied
There won't be anything else left that's worth

The others followed him. Two hours later they

Davys legs were tired and his arms ached clear
to his shoulders But he didn't care bit For he had
