Protecting Paige
Buyers
Tt Is, and always has been, Paige policy to protect and con
serve the interests of Paige buyers.
Contracts for large quantities of materials, entered into
months ago, have enabled the Paige-Detroit Motor Car
Company to scale its present li 1 juices so that in no
instance has the increase exceeded £IOO. But when the
present supply of material* is exhausted, there must
inevitably l>e a readjustment of prices.
Paige prices are never fixed arbitral !y. The buyer is al
ways permitted to share in the benefit.-- -lilting from
foresight and good business judgment.
But price has never been the determining fact *r in the buy
er’s selection of a Paige car. He will continue t» Mtoet
the Paige independent of price figur- .
The Paige wins the preference ahvny 1. an oof mechanical
excellence, beauty and supreme quality.

OPIUM, CHARGE
Archie Hoxhill, Albert Quincy Mc-

trict court on the charge of illegally
importing smoking opium Into tb*
United States from Canada.
It is alleged that the drug wu
disguised as harmless and tooth
some *\rup. Hoxhill and McGee, It
charged, arrived In Windsor on
April 0. with two traveling bags
filled with 50 small cans of syrup.
They were suspected of attempting
to smuggle nnd were arrested, but
were *oon released. They continued
m to Detroit, but they left their
bags in Windsor. The following day
Vin. -ar went over and brought th*
bag* to I>etrolt where he was ar
rested.
An examination showed that 49
of *he -mall cans actually contained
-vrup, but the fiftieth appeared to
have, been tampered with. It vrae
.j * ned and was found to contain a
substance that was not pvrup. A
board of health chemist made an
analysis and pronounced the con
ten’s smoking opium. The can con
tained about one pound.
