TWO things enter into every
/ job where labor is involved.
Time and material.
Time is usually the more ex-
pensive of the two. Don't for
get that when you call the
plumber or the carpenter.
The plumber who is a bust
ness man will safeguard your
interest by shortening the dis
lance between the shop and
the job.
You will know him because
he uses a VIM Delivery Car.
Time is money to him and with
the VIM it takes only three
minutes to equal a mile.
Besides the VIM is the most
economical deliveryfor a plumb
er on the market. Least ex-
pense for gas, oil and tires and
upkeep. Just the same for a
big load as for a small one. No
big garage bills. Always on the
road.

Notwithstanding that their day had
already been filled with numerous en-

earns, their sons, daughters, and
friends began assembling early in
the evening, and by the time the
doors were thrown open such a steady
file Of visitors had formed as to keep
the augmented corps OF attendants
busily engaged.

Captain Dinkins turned and put his

seemed not to sense them.
In his mind was emblazoned a scene
Of long ago. A scene laid on the side
OF a sun-beaten road on the afternoon
of June 10, 1864. The few sentences
which the Indian had spoken to him
now meant volumes.
Turning to his friends, who had
witnessed the episode in bewilder-
ment, and speaking in a voice which
could be heard by all, for the sight
had caused many to pause. Captain
Dinkins told his story:
