Quarrel in Smithy.
One night I went to watch two local
men fight in blacksmith shop for a
decision and to a finish. I was called
out of the crowd to handle one Of the
boys and my man won. After the
fight, while the men were dressing in a
barn next door, the hacker Of the win
ner got into an argument with one of
my best friends. This hacker continued
to brag about his boys ability and
offered to wager 800 he could whip
ANYBODY. My friend took him up and
named me for the opponent. I was
forced to take chance and began

berger. So Joe sent for fellow by
the name of Schiller to train him and
the first time Eichenberger and Schiller
boxed, the latter knocked him out in
punch and Eichenberger' hacker i'm
mediately forfeited the 800 to US. So
I won my first fight without entering
a ring.
But gossip continued to link me with
the boxing game and in few weeks
I was matched to fight Schiller, the

I take pleasure in advising you
that for the 1906 season shall make
a speciality of building Autos to or
der, in sizes from Is to go H. P.
I find that a very large majority
Of the people prefer to have car
built according to their own ideas
and to suit their own special require
ments, and in taking this matter up
I have taken particular pains to
make my connections for this work
with concern that has had an ex-
tensive experience, not only in build
ing cars, but engines Of all classes,
as well as Transmissions, and an In
vestigation will show that they have
the most complete line Of Automo-
any manufacturer in the United

A good car cannot be built by
any concern purchasing parts from
different factories throughout the
country and assembling them. Mel

that has not had years of expert
ence in Gas Engine construction.
