as though the sun would never set
and finally after it disappeared below
the horizon. the afterglow was mar
yelous. The sky was not exactly
red but the whole atmosphere was
suffused with amber pink. 1t was
not twilight. 1t was not daylight
No daylight was ever so tender and
inspiring, no twilight ever quite so
clear and yet mysterious, and there
were no stars. The sun fingered
long in the heavens and then slowly
magnificently, it descended like ball
of fire, peepng again and again from
behind some lower line of pine clad
hills until at last, it was gone. Then
for a space it seemed to be dark
dark at least in comparison to the
crimson splendor which had passed.
In southern climes the night would
now descend, the stars shine out and
man retire to rest Not so in these
northern ATTITUDES. Soon a rosy glow
began to iiffuse itself from the spot
where the sun had sunk. which in
creased and frightened until the
whole of the western heavens was IL
Illuminated with soft and tender light.
Not only was the sky red, but the at
mosphere was saturated with a gold :
en- pink which pulsated and glowed
with living color, deep red at the
horizon, but changing impercephply
into salmon pink and golden amber
until all faded into the upper blue.
Against this glory, the ridges OF pine
trees stood up black, their tops
touched with golden fire. Where they
had been somewhat thinned, the
crimson shone through their tall ana
slender trunks as though the forest
were on fire behind them. This, too.
was reflected in the lake so that pill.
lars of fire seemed to be descending
into it's dark waters. Turning from
this picture of throbbing light anu
color the contrast on the other side
of the vessel was weird. Here the
waters lay indigo in their darkness
the pines black against an inky sky
the shadows below the rocks SO deep

The heroism of the engineer of the
50-foot gasoline yacht Betsey Ann,
under charter to Gen. Edward Morrell
of Philadelphia, probably saved a
number Of lives Wednesday, when he
stueg tot his post in the midst of
flames and beached the yacht after it
had caught fire off shore. None of
the passengers. all of fhom were SER
wants from Gen. Morrell's summer
home at Sorrento, were burned. The
engineer, whose name could not be
learned, alone was reached by the
flames, his arms and hands being
badly burned while the burning yacht
was being beached. His injuries are
not serious. The yacht, after being
beached and abandoned, drifted off
shore and sank. The Betsey Ann. was
valued at $4,000.

Its primary strength is its simplicity easy to handle-free
from mechanical difficulty.
Its secondary strength is its dependabiity- proved in the
hands of users by remarkable service in scores of businesses.
And finally, its low cost of operation and maintenance,
together with low initial cost, make it possible for anyone to
own it. Hundreds use it because it's cheaper than a horse
and buggy. \,

Everyone can use the Brush
It's low enough in price to be within the reach of everyone 4
It's adaptable enough to be of use to anyone
That's why it's Everyman's Car

THE Brush Runabout: is the embodiment of an original
idea-no other car just like it.
It's not a miniature big car, with big car completely, without
big car stability.
It's designed especially to serve a certain end-to provide
an adaptable. dependable, economical car that anyone can
drive, everyone can use and no one, who depends on quick.
economical transportation can afford to be without.
Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-02-02

ECONOMY-there isn't any car in the world
- that's in IN with the Brush for economy.
That's easily demonstrated. The Rural Free
Delivery service pays small salaries to carriers
and horses eat a good share Of the pay.
But the X. +. ID. finds the Brush viii beat the
horse hollow when ii comes to a low cost. Here's
one example-and there are plenty Others:

times, and The engine has turned over 1000 hours. Snl
in ~hrst-claas condition and giving perfect service. Cost
less than $500. Can any horse do as much-or cost so

Brownsville herald. [volume] (Brownsville, Tex.) 1910-current, 1912-02-02

ClMDLICITY appeals especially to the woman.
Fear Of mechanical trouble is a bugbear.
She often lacks the strength to crank a big car
and the agility to steer it and shift levers in
crowded traffic. She can handle the Brush with
ease. She never worries about its mechanism.
She can control it readily. She can give herself
up to the delights Of the road.
What better proof could be offered than the
famous Abernathy boys trip, from New York
to Oklahoma after meeting Roosevelt. Nine
year-old Louie drove the car after only three
lessons, and six-year-old Temple often cranked it.
They never had a bit of trouble.
Your boys-or your wife-can drive it as easily.
1t would mean health and pleasure for them.
And it's a smart-looking little car, too.

MO CROWDED CARS-what a relief To

the youngsters happy shout an hour earlier at
the thought of a bully ride.
Ruddy checks and bright eyes come from out
of-dooTs. You're buying health for them and
for yourself when you buy the Brush.
1t might come in handy to close a sale or get n
