USES OF PUMPKINS
IT was a cold and frosty morning at Mr. Brown’s farm. The pumpkins were huddled together, and their frosty coats glistened in the morning sunshine.
“I heard Mr. Brown talking about Thanksgiving,” said a little pumpkin. “I wonder what Thanksgiving is?”
“Long ago,” began a big pumpkin, “when the first white people came to this country, it was in early winter, and these settlers could raise no food. Many of them died of hunger and cold. But the next year the settlers planted many crops, and they grew wonderfully. So they had a day to thank God for the crops they had. The day they celebrated is called Thanksgiving.”
“Oh, I see,” said the little pumpkin. “I am sure Teddy was thankful he had such a nice big pumpkin to make his Jack o’ lantern out of on Hallowe’en.”
“I think the cattle are thankful that they have us to eat in winter,” said a middle-sized pumpkin, trying very hard to look wise, but the November air was so delightfully chilly and crisp he had to laugh.
“I’m sure Farmer Brown and his family are thankful to have such a nice pumpkin pie every Thanksgiving,” said a big pumpkin.
“I never knew pumpkins were so useful,” sighed the little pumpkin sleepily. Then he turned over and went to sleep.

CADILLAC
Millions of boys and girls of today are eager partisans of the Cadillac—anxious to grow up and have a Cadillac of their own, like Father and Mother.
With thousands, the ownership of a Cadillac is a family tradition dating back to the days when Grandfather bought his first Cadillac, a quarter of a century ago.
All through these 25 years Cadillac has consistently stood in the forefront of all the world’s motor cars.
Eleven years ago Cadillac produced the first eight-cylinder engine—the basic foundation of Cadillac success in marketing more than 200,000 eight-cylinder Cadillac cars.
Today the new 90-degree, eight-cylinder Cadillac is the ultra modern version of the motor car. Its luxury, comfort, performance and value reach heights of perfection beyond anything ever attained.
Thus once again Cadillac strikes out far in advance, renewing its traditional right to this title, The Standard of the World.

Nothing Like a
POLAR OVERJAC
playing around outdoors
There’s nothing like it for looks or for utility either. The jaunty lines, the natty materials, the exuberant colors—that will all appeal to you, and besides you’ll like the easy feel of it on you—the comfortable fit—the way it “gives” to your movements.
Whatever your plans for this summer vacation you’ll want a Polar Overjac. It’s the handiest thing imaginable to slip into—and just the right weight to give the little extra warmth needed cooler days and evenings. For driving, golf, for “roughing it” and all the rest. Well made, expertly tailored—that accounts for a lot of its good looks.

Transcriber's Note
Obvious typographic errors (incorrect punctuation, omitted or transposed letters) have been repaired. Otherwise, however, variable spelling (including proper names, where there was no way to establish which spelling was correct) and hyphenation has been left as printed, due to the number of different contributors.
Page 19 includes the phrase "if the snow smelts." This is probably a typographic error, but as it was impossible to be certain, it has been left as printed.
