Packard Asks Again THE PACKARD ADS used to read, “Ask the Man Who Owns One.” It worked well. Then came a time when there weren't so many people to ask, fewer Packards sold. Now Packard is back at it again with a top-flight car, one

It's a self mailer, and agks questions such as these: “What makes did you consider before bu ?” and “What led directly to your decision to buy Packard?” Packard had rough going in the depression, as did other cars, and it was an independent which made it rougher, but don’t write Packard off. Ask the man who owns one.
