In 1916 industrialist Andrew
Carnegie looked at a Winton
Six and proclaimed it the ul-
timate in automotive perfection.
For myself, I thought the '36
Ford V-8 took the all time hon-
ors when it came out. It just
goes to show you how fickle
standards are, and how we ex-
pect more and more in our auto-
mobiles as time goes by. This is
just natural, I suppose. Chron-
ic dissatisfaction with what we
have at hand is the spur that
leads us on to further progress.
No sooner do we get the latest
gadgets and styles added to our
cars than we want to change
them. This is especially true ot
the younger set who transform
their old clunks rote sleek, cus-
tom cars. We won't be satis-
fied till we can sit in the car,
dial our destination, and sleep
till we get there.

For the cost of a Cadillac can
range all the way from the five-
figured price, of the nine-passenger
limousine to a used Cadillac that will
lend eleganCe:,*, to even a relatively
modest expenditure.
Considers,, the four different, Cadillac
models shown here.
All these splendid nmtor cars,
regardhss- of age or previous service,
are automobiles you can own with
pride,, and drive with pleasure.
All bear the unmistakable distinc-
Cadillac's world famed engineering
and craftsmanship.
You get Hydra-Matte Drive, power
steering, power brakes and many
other items of equipment that are
extra even today on most new cars.
And you enjoy the distinction of
Cadillac styling and the respected
character of the car itself.
Because the new 1964 model is
selling at an all-time high, most
dealers have the wkiest and most
tempting selection of almost-new
Cadillacs in their history.
There never was a better time to
give Cadillac distinction to-even a
modest budget.

weekend was Mrs. Ella Harris

happy surprise visit from her
daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Showell
who travelled up from San Clem-
ente, Calif., to spend ~qIother's Day

The lovely dinner also served, most
appropriately as a family celebra-

day, a day early.
Queen Liz Seiners will surely
never forget her 18th birthday

tivities, with a trip by water on
the lovely yacht "Flamingo" to the
capitol at Olympia where she and
the royal court met with Gov. Al-

The lovely, warm sun benevolently
favored the travelers on their
cruise and the gracious welcome
extended by the governor', phts the
hospitality of the Olympia Kiwanis
Club, their host for lunch, all con-
tributed to the unforgettable ex-
perience. On the return trip to

cake, candles and all, presented to
her by Shelton's Princesses Ginna
Co,Tea and Sandi Bedell. Included
