TOURIST BUSINESS IS GOOD BUSINESS
... FOR EVERY CITIZEN!
We all profit when tourists come
to our province. Even if you have
no connection with hotels, oil
companies or amusements, their
increased business helps you. So
it’s in your interest to do all you
can to encourage friends from
other parts to come and share our
Ontario Holidays.
Keep June the fourtheenth open
n your calendar for a big day at
the Centralia airport. June four
teenth has been selected as Air
force Dav across Canada and each
station will open its gates to the
public. Airforce Day at Centralia
will be a station holiday and all
personnel will turn their best ef
forts towards shoeing- the commun
ity a cross section of station life.
Although plans are still in the ten
tative stage as yet, the groundwork
has been laid for flying and ground
displays together with a sports pro
gram and ending with a big station
dance in the evening. The exten
sive ground display planned will
till number two hangar. We even
heard one airman clamoring for a
display whose motif would feature
crossed mops on a background of
buckets and tastefully trimmed with
lawnmowers.

When you own a Pontiac you can be sure it is
deliberately designed and built to give you a cer
tain type of value.
First of all, it is designed to give you fine perform
ance — really fine performance — performance that
will give you a thrill every time you take the wheel.
This applies to the engine, to the car’s roominess
and comfort, to its roadability and handling ease.
Yet — Pontiac is also designed to give you economy
— to operate inexpensively —■ to be easy on service—
and to last a long, long time. In short, Pontiac is de-
signed to give complete satisfaction — at the lowest
possible cost.
This is always true of Pontiac. So regardless of when
you expect to get your next car—make it a Pontiac.
It’s a wonderful value.

The stack of orders piled up for tire new Pontiac are grati
fying testimonials to the quality and beauty of this finest
of the famous Silver Streaks. Unfortunately, so many
orders also mean that many who choose Pontiac must
wait. So if your car-wise head and heart say 'Pontiac* . . .
your present car will give you better, safer service while
you wait if you have it checked regularly by a General
Motors dealer. „P-347A
