Those frantic wig-wag
signals might interest the
neighbors—or catrh the eve
of a wily wolf. But if you
seek, sound, experienced
medical counsel, go directly
—and promptly—to your
Doctor. Or, if an emergency
should arise, ask him to come
and call on you at home.
. And when you have his
prescription, we hope you
will bring it to this "Relia
ble Prescription Pharmacy
for careful compounding
with pure, potent drugs.

HERE’S WHY Kaiser-Frazer can make this
announcement while other new car prices spiral
upward. Kaiser-Frazer controls its own supply of
many basic raw materials . .. has its own engine
plant, foundry and steel mill. Materials from these
sources funnel into new and modern Willow Run —
the largest automobile manufacturing plant in the
world under one roof.
* ■ a _ _
Unfinished steel goes in one end of this great plant
and comes out a quality automobile, ready to be 4
driven away. All this is accom- ^
plished in a matter of hours, and
with the economy of Kaiser-
Frazer straight-line production.
This ia fin achievement of men
who are injecting new methods
and ideas into an old industry.
In the new 1948 Kaiser, Frazer, ,
Kaiser Custom, and Frazer Man
hattan you get all the features
that others have attempted to copy since Kaiser-
Frazer design was introduced in 1947,
So far no one has been able to more than approximate
the graceful exterior body lines. No one has come
near matching the roadability ... the ride resulting
from seats cradled between the front and rear wheels,
such wide seats with both elbow and shoulder room.
And none have the style features, the wide .choice
of colors and fabrics.
You get all this plus the many refinements made
possible by years-ahead engi
neering and design. And, of
course, all 1948 Kaiser or Frazer
'cars have the new Goodyear 21-
pound jhresaure Super-Cushion
tires th^t make bumps somethin J
you-see but never feel.
»
WHertvtr you drive, wherever you go, 'round
the corner, down the itreet, there it a Kaiter-
Frazer dealer ready to nerve you with genuine
factory parte and approved tertnee.
