To lengthen the life of the bolt, procure a number of leather washers, say, 7-16 in. diameter and about 1-161 in, thick.

For example, a far greater percent- age of tough and costly Chrome Vanadium Steel is used in Dodge Brothers car than in any other. And this gives it exceptional sturdiness. The result is that this car is an in- vestment in proved quality that every Dodge Brothers owner is proud of. DODGE BROTHERS, INC. DETROIT.

BRIDGING the turbulent Parisian traffic stands the ma- jestic Arc de Triomphe-cul mination of a sculptor's dream! Beneath it pass, in review, the chosen motor cars of both con- tinents.
A Packard, its beauty undimmed by this rare setting, pauses with the traffic then leaps ahead, quietly but definitely asserting its mastery of the boulevard.
The powerful agility of this newest Packard is the culmina- tion of an industry's ambition.
