Nothing has so stirred the motoring public in years as the Chrysler Hi high-compression en- gine. Through it the immense vitality and brilli- ance in speed, acceleration and hill climbing

of Chrysler have been accentuated.

Now, for the first time, the virtues and values of high-compression are available in fullest measure, to Chrysler owners, new and old alike. The is standard on the roadsters of the “52,” “62” and *72,”’ and on the Sport Roadster of the Imperial “80.” It is available at small extra cost for all other body models of these lines, and may be ap- plied as well, to earlier Chryslers now in the hands of owners.

Th ERE are more millionaires on Park Avenue, New York

Than any other thoroughfare or section in the world

That’s what the Income Tax men say.

Go there some morning or evening and note the men who go into thé $45,000 a year apartments

And you’ll see a Starched Collar crowd.

Or look at the

Aristocrats of Manhattan taking their ease in the big chairs at the windows of the Avenue Clubs—

All Starched Collars.

And look again at the men in the execu- tive offices of the big banks—

Starched Collars again—

And Arrows at that.

So it only takes a few cents

To dress like a man that counts.

Conditions in Hollywood According to the Public Prints THE motion picture industry has

never been in healthier conditio: and prospects are excellent except for the fact that all the large pro ducing companies are on the verg of bankruptcy. A meeting of pic ture people proved conclusively last night that perfect harmony prevails throughout the entire industry. The meeting terminated in a riot which ended only with the arrival of Police Rese rves. Every one in Holly wood is busy and prosperous with the ex ception of sixty thousand people who are starving to death. Wall Street reports that never before hav motion picture stocks attained their present high level and Stupendous Pictures Corporation stock dropped from 109 to 2%, in less than an hour All the big studios are working night and day to complete their next vear’s programs. ‘There will be no motion picture production in Hollywood for the next year because the studios ar closing to save operating costs.

REAPING

A man may spend a lifetime in thought and experi- mentation. But not until he sends out to the world the results of his experience, is that accumulation of any service to humanity. The Mimeograph is helping thousands to reap harvests of a lifetime. A modern-day requisite in commercial and educational life, with its remarkable ability to accurately reproduce letters, / announcements, forms, maps, drawings, etc., it is one of America’s most successful contributions to the world ' of useful things. It reaps enormous results with enor- | mous saving. Vastly large its products; vastly small its cost. A. B. Dick Company, Chicago, will be glad to send you a free booklet explaining this small wonder-worker.

HE strangely ill-assorted team of

has had its ups and downs (ct ‘The Dark Angel” and “The Night of Love’’); their latest, “The Magic Flame,” may be listed among the ups.

It is one of those pleasantly pre posterous romances of a mythical kingdom, with a dual role thrown

in to make things more complicated

There is a lecherous prince and a

noble circus clown, both of whom are in love with a fair trapeze performer, and both of whom, by the oddest_co- incidence, look exactly like Ronald Colman.

You men make too much work of shaving

Because you think it easier to take a new blade than tu strop one, you make shaving just about twice as hard as it

need be.

| | You forget about the time it takes to | unwrap a new blade. You don't think about the bother of changing to another if the first one isn’t keen. You ignore the time it takes to go to the store for new blades. You don’t count the extra time it takes to shave with a dull blade. |

Now consider the easy way. You start with one new blade. You spend 30 seconds a day Twinplex stropping its edge to shaving keenness. You get a marvelous shave in two minutes less time than you required the old hard way. Daily gain 90 seconds.

Keep using that one blade at least 30 days. Gain 45 minutes and 30 cents

At the end of a year you will have saved four or five trips for new blades, 9 hours shaving time and about $3.00 cash more than enough to pay for a Twin plex, which costs only $2.50. Other models $3.50 and $5.00

Pipe Smoker Enjoys Can of Tobacco

Sixteen Years Old

Of course, all good tobacco aged before it is packed, but here is a case of “aged in the can.”

is

On the strength of Mr. McDonald’s letter we certainly owe our packing department a vote of commendation.

For no tobacco could retain its flavor and goodness lying in a dark musty corner for sixteen years unless it had yeen properly packed in an absolutely air-tight can.

So while someone was deprived of this particular can of tobacco for six- teen years, it did provide smoke enjoy ment for an appreciative railroad cashier when it finally came to light

Mr. McDonald’s letter is reproduced

May 18, 1926 Larus & Bro. Co. Richmond, Va. Gentlemen : The agent while going through his

plunder stored in our baggage room came across a can of your tobacco, and account of his not using a pipe he made me a present of this tobacco.

on

ago. But it was in good shape, of re- markable flavor, and was greatiy enjoyed by me. : i Thought you would be interested in knowing how your tobacco held out in these days of fast living. Yours very truly, (signed) Gordon McDonald. To those who have never tried Edge- worth, we make this offer: Let us send you free samples of Edgeworth so that you may put it to the pipe test. If you like the samples, you'll like Edge- worth where-

Here’s to Camel—on a million tables!

HERE’S to Camel. How much added pleasure it brings to the world. Wherever congenial friends gather, or in the solitary hours of work or travel, Camel insures the enviable mood of enjoyment.

All of the mysterious powers to please of the choicest Turkish and Domestic to- baccos grown are brought to fulfillment in Camel. This is done through a smooth and mellow blend that cannot be found

anywhere else. For America’s largest

tobacco organization concentrates its abil- ities in Camel. Into this one brand goes all of its power to select and buy and blend for taste satisfaction. There simply are no better cigarettes made at any price.

Camel’s mildness and mellowness are the favorites of particular modern smok- ers. So much so that Camel’s popularity is greater than any other cigarette ever had. For your enjoyment of the smoothest

smoke ever made, “Have a Camel!”’
