Brief!-After the railroads began
running through Eastern North Caro-
lima there was a great deal Of litiga-
ton about the trains killing livestock
Most of this territory is low and
swampy and as there was not much
tillable land in the section then, it was
free range territory, where cattle and
hogs roamed at will.
A certain darky had what he consid-
cred a very valuable raZorback hog
and when the train struck it one day
the old man decided that here was
good opportunity to collect damages
So the matter was aired in the local
court room.
The negro was on the witness stand
and began a long -winded account OF
how the hog was killed.

of the incidents leading up to the
death Of the hog, John. Give us briei

The Whole, Secret of
pTSo
/ IRE
Simply @ Matter of the Maker's Policies
Better

To ascertain what each maker
offers one must analyze and test
some 200 tires-as our laboratories
have done.
Then it is a matter Of combining
the best features and building ac-
cording to the highest standards.
Once you try Brunswick you
will understand how we have built
model tires, regardless OF factory
expense.
Yet Brunswick Tires cost you the
same as other like-type tires. Our
saving is on selling cost, through
our nationwide organization.
We realize that you expect more
from Brunswicks, and we assure
you that you get it. ONE Bruns-
wick will tell you the story.
And then you'll want ALL
Brunswicks. No other tire, you'll
agree, gives so much tor your
money. ..
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1919-12-19

This you will realize-once you
try a Brunswick-that super-tlre
is possible only when the name
certiies that the maker is follow
ing the highest standards.
For tire making is chiefly a mat
ter of standards and policies-cost
plus care. Any maker can build a
good tire if he cares to pay per-
fection's price. D..
All men know Brunswick stand
ards, for Brunswick products have
been famous for "a years.
Formulas, fabrics and standards
vary vastly in cost. Reinforce
ments, plies and thickness are a
matter of expense. And these vari-
atoms affect endurance. It rests
with the maker how far he wishes
to go-how much he can afford
to give.
For there are no secrets nor pat
ents to hold one back.

SEES END OF BIG FORTUNES
(St. Paul Pioneer Press)

tSL. Pdul f1OneeT HTeSSb
 Croesus and his ilk hereafter will have no place in the hall of fame, so far as the United States is concerned, for the days of accumulation of great for tunes have passed, according to Guy Huston, president of the First Joint Stock Land bank of Chicago.
 The banker was the principal speaker at the annual banquet and meeting of the Minnesota Farm Mortgage Bankers associate recently when he prophesied that there never can be another great fortune, such as exists today, with the countined operation of the income tax law.
 If the tax does not take away a large share of the earnings in the lifetime of the accumulator, the inheritance tax makes up for that partial neglect, th financier said
