John D. Rockefeller, always popular
among the people of Terrytown, N. Y.
where he lives, is adding to that pop.
ularity this spring by his fondness
for taking his friends and neighbors
out driving Not pleasant day goes
by without the oil king inviting some
of them, men, women and children, to
ride with him in automobile or car
riage, and it is safe to say that the in
vitations are seldom declined, for his
vehicles are the best to be had, and
the drives around Tarrytown are beau
tiful. Mr.. Rockefeller, before starting
for ride, always dons a paper vest,
declaring 1t great protection against
colds, and he insists that his guests do
the same. After the ride he refuses to
take back the garments, and conse-
quently in nearly every home in Tarry-
town may be found paper vest pre-
served as a souvenir of delightful
ride with the multi-millionaire.
