TAXI! TAXI! HERE’S YOUR CHANCE TO RIDE WITHOUT PAYING.

There was a time . when invita tions to go auto riding were rare. You always accepted, and enjoyed it. Those days are gone (along with the smell that used to be in your cellar) and 10 cent gasoline. Everybody "Tias a car now —but pot everybody has ridden in a Franklin. (Harve Hemphill had his first last night). Beginning today we are going to invite everybody in town to ride, in our car. We’ve been telling about its riding qualities, gas mileage, easy . riding, etc., etc. We want to prove it. Folks “from Missouri” pile in—we’ll even let you drive. Every car in this contest carries a pint bottle. (Now will you come?) We want to show everybody how far we can take five people on 4 cents worth of gasoline. Ask your friends and your friends’ friends. Some will go to please us, some to see if we can good oui claims, and some will be like the Irishman at the funeral, who wasn’t acquainted with ' the corpse, but went for the carriage ride. WHY you go doesn’t interest us ■—just so you go. We’ve notified the factory to put our name on that cup and Lois is looking at new hats.—THOMPSON & KIRK.
