than the sword to the outlying corners of the world. Thos roads carried culture and wealth and enlightenment and law. "But the roads we are now discussing lead not to vassal states, but between free and equal fctates. We know well enough that a properly coordinated system tf all kinds of transportation is as necessary in a republic as in an empire. We have, both under federal control of railroads and in tho recently adopted law for their return to p-1-vate management, fully recognized their national usefulness and responsibility. Let us not limit to these highways the application of the lessons learned from ancient Rome. General highway traffic Is capable of indefinite expansion. That expansion means the Increased prosperity of every community which it touches and. indirectly, of the whole commonwealth."

They are exhibiting a South liend tire in a Michigan st. btore window that was built by ex-Ueut. Glen Slick. We knew Siick when he wore a little green cap with a red button on it and we always knew hewould make his mark in this world.

Howard Hagedorn and Ralph Webster sure have got themselves a tricky little showroom over on Mast Jefferson now and we're mighty glad that it's all completed, because all spring we had V wade through piles of lumber and nails and Goodyear tireo trying to find Howard and then we hardly ever could tHid him, because-

Next to this man Hoeffle down at the Gary Truck Sales Co., Howard is the hardest man in the world to find.

We went in to see Howard and Ralph the other morning and Howard wasn't there and Ralph was rolling" tires around the lloor so we decided to while away a few minutes talking to Howard's father and G. Hrut (we nearly called him Gerald) and Hrut told us about a game where you stick a knife into, a book and if the last figure of the page number is the highest you win the berries.

And after we had whiled away

12 pennies we decided we couldn't wait for Howard any longer and

We went in to see Ed Collmer at the Sprine Wagon works and he told us that ho had just turned out two Trailmohiles that are the only ones of their kind in this vicinity and we asked him whether they had IT. S. or Firestone tires on them and his assistant told us to leave that part out so we will.

Jim Gilroy yelled at us as we left the Wagon Works and told us that the United States Co. is going to put up another signboard and now we can hardly wait until they do, to we can brush up on a little moro of the history of this part of the country.

There are plenty of American corporations willing to accept a mandate for any small country rich in oil and mineral deposits. They wouldn't even draw the line at Mexico.

Service is the one thing that we sell service in line with the Golden Rule WE distribute this same Service to all car owners and to all makes of batteries without discrimination. When you pay money for a new USL you are buying Golden Rule Service, of which the battery is but an essential part. It's just the same as paying your employees, your lawyer, your doctor, your dentist for Service. Service is the most important thing in the world today. To all car owners, we aim to be the "greatest Servant of them all." Our Golden Rule Service, we think, makes us so. But we invite your careful co-operation in caring for your battery so as to assure you long battery-life.

Often when a man thinks his battery is "done for" and he is ready to buy a new USL, we show how we can save hir.i money by repairing hiä old battery and giving an adjustment guarantee for eight months.

We sell only USL Batteries with the durable machine-pasted plates. The factory ships them to us "Dry-Charged This avoids all before-sale deterioration so that you really get a perfect, full-life battery.
