yourself and your friends to be pre-

When a man increases his vocabulary
he has provided an asset greater than
money. Money spent like water that

the money will buy more water.
Speaking of lawyers wellknown
attorney was overheard telling friend

More books are now being rushed

that the dictionary distribution will

Double Deck Shipping for Automobiles

With the increased demand for the
medium priced car, the manufacturers
OF such cars have used every conceiv-
able plan for shipping their product.
One plan which has proved very sue
eessful and which has doubled the ship
ping facilities of the railroads, is the
double decker freight car. Where
formerly three or four automobiles
were shipped on one freight car, now
SIX or eight can be made to ride in the
