DO you note the similarity between
this story and one that was told nearl,
2.OOO years ago about man who was

We ARE MOVERS.

The newspapers have thought II
worth while to record the fact that one
western couple has spent sixty-6ve
years on the same farm.
Ii Is unusual.
In the west especially one will find
comparatively few couples that have
reared children. welcomed grandchll
dren and have had great-grandchildren
to play In the same home.
However
In the old countries such a thing as
living on one farm for sixty.dve years
would provoke little comment. There
Il an inn IN England whose license as
a public place IL 500 years old, and inns
are transient things compared with
farms.
Sixty i've years:
Why. In Europe descendants OF one
family have lived on the same estate
for a thousand years or more. Having

We do Il differently.

We make that place the point Of our
