Just think of the choice bologna that
could be made from these scrubs. How
choice the bologna would be may be
questionable, but if turned into bo-
logna, shoe leather, etc, they would at
least be doing no more damage by pro-

watch for it's power. You want power
in an automobile. You want to be
able to go anywhere. You do not want

Durability is something we all seek

on the integrity of the maker, his
honesty, his ideals. his standards A
good way to judge this is to notice
the number of cars of any particular

NEWYORK IS BUILDING
magnificent HIGHWAY

Hudson Between New York
and Albany. I

According to Eugene NJ. Travis,
controller Of the state of New York,
one OF the finest and most costly
specimens of highway engineering to
be undertaken in recent years is
the roadway now in course of con-
struction on the west shore of the
Hudson around Crows Nest and
Storm King mountains. This stretch
OF highway, which will form con-
Meeting link in the new Henry Hud-
son t}rive"--the most important and
attractive route in the state--has
been under way for nearly four years.
1t is located about sixty miles above
New York and Will furnish direct
route along the shores of the HUDSON
between New York and Albany.
This route was first proposed about
ten years ago, when the plan or
building state highways was inaugu-
rated in New York state, and when
finished this twenty-mile stretch will
enable motorists to continue along
the west shore of the Hudson through
Palisade Park on to Bear mountain.

Farmers Uss Many Autos.

''Is the automobile necessity? It
is. 1t is proving itself so. It is
owned by those who appreciate the
motor car as such. 1t is estimated
that more than third of the auto
mobiles in use in this country are
owned by farmers, or those who live
in the country and who find it neces-
sary to make frequent trips to near
by communities to buy supplies or
for other purposes. The automobile
is the connecting link between town
and country.
rs the automobile an economic
factor? 1t is. It's use in the busi-
ness world has been recognized for
some time, and is recognized fac
tor in present day activity. To the
salesman, the business man, the mer-
chant. the real estate man, to those
who must be about, it has heightened
days. They are able to do more-to
see more people and to cover more
territory. And the man with a car
does not get tired as easily as he
would otherwise. He saves his en-
ergy for his work, rather than using
it in getting to his destination.
