READ THIS ^ STARTLING FACT 5 out of 10 Smaller Cars wear a Pontiac Price Tag -yet none gives you Any of Pontiac’s Advantages PONTIAC GIVES YOU UP TO 8.9% MORE SOLID CAR PER DOLLAR! Not one of the smaller cars can give you the heavy-duty construction, the rood-hugging h*fi and ftolid security that surround you in every Pontiac. Yet Pontiac’s the nimblest heavy weight you ever managed—and your Pontiac dealer can show you more than six dozen advanced-engineering reasons why! Pontiac haa gone all out to make this genuine big car the beat behaved beauty that you ever had the pleasure of bossing. You'll find Pontiac’s exclu sive Pr«ci*ion-Touch Controls make steering and braking the surest, easiest you’ve ever expe rienced! Park it, cruise it, try it in stop-and-go traffic . . . this is driving the smaller jobs can’t duplicate! PONTIAC GIVES YOU 4 TO 7 INCHES MORE WHEELBASE! The small cars extend bumpers and fenders to look big—but Pontiac fruits the extra length where it counts—l>etween the wheels! Pontiac’s longer stride brockoti the bumps instead of riding on them. And this extra length shows up inside, too, in stretch-out space for six footers. Add *to Pontiac's bonus in length its all-new suspension system and you have an exdutiv* Level-Line Ride no car at any price can surpass ... and a built-iri sense of direction and security that will spoil you for the smaller cars forever! PONTIAC’S PERFORMANCE TOPS THE BEST THE SMALL CARS CAN OFFER—BY A WIDE MARGIN! Not one of the smaller cars can measure up to Pontiac Performance. Whether you judge a power plant by engineering statistics or on-the- road performance, Pontiac’s Strato-Streak V-8 stands head and shoulders above anything in the low-price field. Your Pontiac doalor will ba happy to show you a comploto facts-and-Aguros comparison—then an eye-opening test drive in traffic or out on the highway will supply all the heart-lifting proof you need that Pontiac has separated the men from the boys when it comes to performance! —AND PONTIAC HAS ALWAYS BEEN FAMOUS AS ONE OF AMERICA’S TOP TRADE-INS! Maybe it comes as a surprise to you that so much more car can be yours at the same pries you’ve seen on the smaller cars. But there’s the fact! And Pontiac is a wondarful invastmant, teal As you know, it has always commanded a top trade-in. So why not step out of the small-car class and into a Pontiac . . . there’s nothing in your way. Your Pontiac dealer has the keys and an eye-opening offer waiting for you right now! So why not look and feel like a million— Instead of a million others? MW!

But our Bell scientists can, and what’i more they’re working on a gadget that will carry electrical impulses vibrating at such a fantastic rate. They call it a “wave guide.” It’s a pair of finely-made hollow copper tubes that will handle as many as 400,000 telephone con versations at a time. That’s a lot of talk, isn’t it. And for folks around town tthe day is coming when, if they want two or three telephone lines out to the house instead of only one, we’ll be able to add the lines without Jhe wires! Telephone research goes oh day and night to make your service ever faster, ever better—and to bring you as much as you want. • * • PLANNING A'TRIP? Everybody’s vacation-minded along about now, so here are some tips to help you enjoy your trip more. Be sure to take along a camera so you’ll have a perma nent picture record of all the fun, people and places. And don’t forget to stop the milk so you won’t have bottles all over the porch when you return, like I did one time. For your peace of mind, let me suggest that you phone ahead for reservations. t Then wlieievef you go, the . telephone will keep you in close touch with home or office. Have fun! I would like to brag a bit about the fact that Miss Josephine Neighbors, Service Representative in the Business Office, has a shining new trophy on her desk it reads “Spartanburg District Manager’s Merchandising Trophy.” Now I don’t want to tell much about it except that it recognizes outstanding performance. However, if you have a chance ask about it when you visit or phone the Business Office and give Miss Neighbors a chance to show you how she won it.
