HOSE who are chosen to represent their countries at the courts of the great Capitals must in turn possess equip ment in keeping with the importance of their missions.

Ten prominent American diplomats have recently selected Packard cars as affording the distinction necessary to their business and social activities.

In England, a Packard Six has appeared at the Court of St. James, while in France, an Eight has stood, an object of beauty, at the gates of the Palais de l'Elysée. The diplomatic preference for Packard. is not confined to Americans. Govern mental leaders of many other countries. are also Packard owners.
