flag and running theirs up. Also 1t is
said that no protest will be made by our

The fact 10 frequently noted that

true that most shoemakers In eastern

the word shoemaker as used bore does

man who owns little shop and bench
and makes shoes by hand. 1t means
proprietor of shoe factory or factories.
So the word farmer, as applied to the
buyers and users OF automobiles, dues
not mean the owner OF little New Eng
land farm which be works himself, but
the proprietor Of large farm or ranch,
employing many men and animals to
work Il. That Is mainly the kind OF
