One OF the most severe epidemics
In black rust ever recorded has swept
the wheat belt OF the northwest, with
unprecedented damage. predicting a
production far below normal.
Reports arriving at the department
not only substantiate the predictions
OF government experts, but. It is said,

Spring Song of the Auto Bug

l will sing you of an auto,
And its some motor, too,
1t has skads of speed and power
And Timken bearings, too.
The springs are cantilever
And they simply can't be beat,
Ignition is Atwater Kent,
And the gas tank never leaks.
And when you want to start it
You don't have to crank or swear;
Set your heel upon the button,
(For at starting its bear)
Open up the throttle
To give it the needed 'juice,"
And up the street your Saxon
Goes shooting like the deuce.
The ventilating wind shield
Will render clearer vision.
Another Saxon feature
Is our three-speed transmission,
Which enables you to climb all hills
Without fear of motor ills.
You can motor in the daytime,
Also at darkest night;
Our two-unit lighting system
Will furnish lots of light.
You turn button near at hand
And quicker than wink
Two glow-worms on the dashboard
Put the darkness on the blink.
Economy is the watchword,
So the people say,
And now the Saxon forces
Are working night and day.
For convincing explanation
Just ask for a demonstration.
And if speed, light weight and comfol
Are what you have in mind,
You are mighty sure to find it
In this SAXON SIX of mine.
