for the purpose or with a piece
•>f coarse cloth. This serves to
clean the coat of dust and'dirt,
to ventilate the skin, and to add
tone and condition to both coat
and skin.
Don't overdo bathing your
dog; once a month is often
enough. Bathe the dog in a
warm place, using a good bland
soap. Keep water out of his eyes
and ears. Lather and rinse well
at least twice, and dry him
thoroughly with rough towels,
rubbing in the direction of the
hair growth.
Dogs’ nails, if not worn down
naturally, should be trimmed
frequently. Use clippers made
for this purpose, and be careful
not to cut into the pink portion,
or quick. Smooth off rough
edges with a file. I
If wax accumulates in the
ears, swab it out gently with
an orange stick tipped with
cotton and dipped in oil, alco
hol or peroxide. Eyes that are
irritated should be bathed in
boric acid and treated with a
good eye ointment. If you give
your dog a large knuckle bone
to chew every week or so, it
will help keep the teeth clean.
Feeding Tips: Feeding a dog
candy and sweets won’t give
, him worms, as was once com
monly supposed. It will merely
keep him from eating as much
of the food he needs for good
. health and nutrition.

Ever notice how a man looks when he takes the
wheel of his new Cadillac and heads tor his
favorite highway?
Take a good look the next time you have a
chance—and we think you’ll see a happy man.
There’s just no mistaking the pride and satis
faction that show in his face . . . or the happiness
and contentment that reside in his heart.
And, as any experienced Cadillac owner can
testify, he feelr every bit as wonderful as he looks.
For a journey in the "car of cars is both a
marvelous tonic for the spirit . . . and a wondertul
opportunity for physical rest and relaxation.
It starts the instant he slips into the driver s
seat and rests his hands on the wheel. Those
deep, soft cushions hold him in perfect comtort
... and he is surrounded by beauty and luxury.
Even before he sets the car in motion, some of
life’s care and worry seem to go out ot his day.
And then comes the miracle of Cadillac per
formance. It’s an inspiration just to sit at the
wheel ... to look out over that graceful hood . . .
and to watch the miles tlow gracefully by.
And how ecuty it all is. Just a gesture of his hand
on the steering wheel and the car follows effort
lessly and obediently. Just a touch of his toe to
the accelerator and the car answers instantly to
the command. Just a nudge of his foot on the
braking pedal and the car comes to a smooth, safe,
silken stop.
Sound wonderful? Well, we sincerely urge you
to come in at your first convenience—spend an
hour at the wheel—and see for yourself.
We’ll be happy to give you the keys ... and the
car . . . and some wonderful news about the cost
and delivery advantages that you will enjoy if
you make your decision for Cadillac today.
Why not stop in and see us soon?
