You will feel a warm tingle as it enters the pores, then a cooling sensation that brings welcome relief. lulWWi Better than c muttard platttr BETTER VALUES in USED CARS 1929 DODGE SIX Sedan Deluxe $925.00 1927 BUICK Coupe $725.00 ■ 1926 NASH Sedan — $425.00 1926 DODGE Sedan $385.00 1926 STUDEBAKER Coupe $425.00 1926 AUBURN 8 Sedan $550.00 1926 ESSEX Coach ...»- $245,00 1925 DODGE Sport Roadster $385.00 1925 DODGE Coupe $285.00 ! 1925 STUDEBAKER Coach $383.00 1925 ESSEX Coach . $195.00 1925 CLEVELAND Sedan $185.00 1925 DURANT Sedan $125.00 1924 STUDEBAKER Touring $125.00; 1924 FORD Coupe $85.00 SAYLORS MOTOR CO.
