a FREIGHT-CAR PARADEs.
The Striking Flonf of the Southern

The biggest. and certainly one Of the

was the design Of the Southern Manu-

100 yards the spectator could hardly dis
tinguish II from 1.-THE real thivg." so
exact and perfect were all the details.
This company while not exactly en-
gagged IN the railroad business, has
great deal To do with transportation
lines. as it ships it's famed speciality, the
Good Luck Baking Powder" all over
the South. and that, too, by the car

Businessmen who read the inscriptions
on the big car in the parade must have
been struck with some of the informa-
tion conveyed thereby. These inscrip-

company was doing and pointed out the
phenomenal success of some Of our young
merchants. when one remembers that

5tU00pO Raw Hide Bags, while in the
current year the number has gone up 10
