from the Crawford county circuit
court has been affirmed by the Fourth
district appellate court. A Mr.. sur
rell Of Robinson was a Big Four sec

render it forever useless. In a suit

Paper Gloves and Stockings.

Paper gloves and stockings are now
being manufactured in Europe. The
stockings have been carefully ex-
amined BIZ experts. and they are loud
in their praise Of them Let no one
assume they say, that these stockings
because they are made Of paper, will
onls last a few days. for they will last
almost as long as ordinary stockings.
The reason is because the paper Of
which they are made was, during the
process Of manufacture, rendered into
substance closely resembling wool
and was then woven and treated as
ordinary wool.
