Rotary Club
Hos First
Birrtiday Party
The Clinton Rotary Club
celebrated its first birthday
Tuesday night with a banquet
at Mary Musgrove Hotel.
A. I. Mason of Laurens was
featured speaker. Mason, a
native of Renno, attended
public schools in Clinton and
is former p artner-manafcer of
the Capitol Theater. He is a
former president of the
Laurens Rotary Club and cur
rently serves as sergeant-al
arms.
Club president Taylor Mar
tin presided over the event
'Put-a*Volkswpgeivfaslback in a race with the
rest oMhe fastbacks around today and it would
lose hands down.
Even at top speed it wouldn't stand a chance
•egainst a 350 h.p. job. (Our fastback cruises at
.about 84.)
Today a lot of people spend a lot of money on
a cor because it's big and fast.
But the strange thing is, when they buy a car
•with so much speed and power, they seldom stop
^•o think where they’ll be able to use it.
Do you need a 350 h.p. engine to take you
downtown?
Or for a ride in the country?
y Or for that once-a-year vacation trip? (Even
f©n the highway you can’t use a hundred-mile-an-
hour car. Remember, the fastest you can go on
•lost highways is only 70.)
This is exactly why we made the VW Fastback
(#»e way we did. Its 65 horsepower engine gets
you cut on the thruwoy quickly. And with that
many horses in a Volkswagen, there's plenty of
power for highway passing.
Our fastback has its engine in the rear and it’s
air-cooled. (That means no water or anti freeze.)
And since it doesn't have a lot of idle horses to
feed, you'll still be able to get up to, 27 miles on a
gallon of gas.
You can buy a sensible fastback like this for the
•ensible price of $2,179.*
.And never miss the power you didn’t pay for.
