He sald he attended Indianapolis schools until he was 11 years old, when he was sent to Indiana Boys School for six years. 7 After his release, he said, he returned to Indianapolis and re-| mained there until 1942, .when he “went to the- Navy. + He told of serving in combat duty; and said he was injured twice.

YEor Something Really New in Auto-
#
Kaiser. and Frazer owners have discovered that automobile travel can be a pleasure. They write from everywhere to say that at last they. have the car they have wanted evér since the pre-war days of 19411!
Not surprising—for these two cars are the only 100%, postwar automobiles. They alone reflect the engineering progress of the war years—the advance in engine and chassis design, in body lines and interior roominess! Naturally they are a revelation to owners who are accustomed to a prewar performance and ride!
Before you spend your money for a car that will be obsolete within a year, come in and see—and drive—a KAISER or a FRAZER. You will be glad you did, for you will learn that there is really something new in automobiles!
