For one hundred and twenty-five years
the world has considered the American n
buffer. But during all hat time the
American has not been defeated OF land
or sea.
For more than a century the world has
considered the American the wild west
performer. wearing clothing simply as a
concession to the tastes Of other people.
But during that time tho American has
been harrnOniZing himself, stirring and as
slmilating the different hlnods in his veins
preparatory 10 finally turning out the
finished American Productive best man
alive.
The American. for n century ana n quar-
ter. has gone into every contest under
estimated by everybody but himself, and
has come out with all the trophies OF
victory.
The American has never gone into 4
battle which he did not expect to win,
pect him to lose. He has never gone
into a battle knowing exactly how muck
he would win. but he has always believed
that he would win something.
