Think of a boy as tall as a trolley car

is what ~15-year-old William Ludlum
White OF Jamaica can boast of, and he
is proud of the fact that he is the big
gest boy in these United States. The
little town of Jamaica is just as proud
OF William as he is Of himself. You
can figure out for yourself what a big
fellow William will be when he reaches
his thirtieth birthday. He stands today,

and tips the scales at 262 pounds, SO
you see he is a juvenile wonder. New
