Just Folks rs... 3 s' Cues.

Id almost swear these friends o
mine
Possess some magic power divine
BY which they learn from Goo
above,
Or from the messengers O. love,
The very things I'm thinkin' of
Honors I don't deserve have come
Almost to paralyze me dumb
An when I've tried to find out
why
Men gave what would simle an
wink his eye.
Lord, but I've trod an easy way,
With friends to help me day by
day.
With all its hurt an pain an woe,
This is a kindly world we know
At least, I've always found it so.

the ground.
Brownie Beaver would not hav'
to gnaw long before the tre'
would begin to lean. All the tint
it leaned more and more. Ant
the further over it sagged, the
faster it tipped. Luckily. Brownie
Beaver always knew just the righ1
moment to jump out of the way
! before the tree fell.
If you had ever seen him you
might have thought he was fright
ened, because he never failed to
run away and hide as the tree
crashed down with a sound al
most like thunder.
But Brownie was not all fright
ened. He was merely careful.
Knowing what loud noise the
falling tree would make, and that
it might lead a man Cor some
other enemy to come proving
around, to see what had happened
Brownie used to stay hidden un-
til he felt quite sure that no one
was going to trouble him.
You can understand that wait
ing, as he did, was no easy matter
when you stop to remember that
one of Brownies reasons for cut
ing down a tree was that he want
ed to eat the tender bark to be
found in the tree-top. 1t was
exactly like knowing your dinner
was on the table, all ready for you
and having to hide in some dark
corner for half an hour, before
going into the dining room. You
know how hungry you would get,
if you had to do that.
Well, Brownie Beaver used to
get just as hungry as any little
boy or girl. How he did tear at
the bark, when he finally began
TO eat And how full he stuffed
his mouth! And how he did en-
Joy his meal! But everybody will
admit that he had a right to en-
Joy his dinner, for he certainly |
worked hard enough to get it.

Proof Our Plan Is
 q Success
From Bir.nirs sham News, February ?, 1920. Why Wagon 5 ales Were Stopped

Special-The Anniston Packing Company which for nearly year has maintained retail system of selling to homes from wagons, dis continued the wagon sales today and the product of the local plant will be sold to home users by the meat markets of the city. The wagon sales system proved decided advantage to house wives, eliminating the necessity for going to market or using the telephone, and it was cut ting heavily into the sales of the local meat deal CTS. An agreement by which the wagons were discontinued today was reached during the past week
 This man invested his money in a packing plant. Evidently the owners of the local meat markets would not buy from him. He then de- cided to sell his output to the consumer. That his idea was correct is evidenced by the above news item He brought Mir Butcher to terms.
 If wagons handling only one line of food sup plies have proved such big success, can you inn agine what one or more of our twoton stores would accomplish handling everything to be had in high-class groceries.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-02-22
To the Citizens Of Birmingham:

Our plans are right or they'd never be endorsed by the banker capitalist editor merchant, lawyer, eng neer and mechanic. No say anything against what claim and get away with it, and ours is the only venture know of which will stand the acid test The three important factors in any business, PREPARED NESS, OPPORTUNITY and POSSIBILITIES, are en- bodied in our chain One thousand dollars will earn every year 45O CO., Every asset the business could instantly be converted into cash any time at big profit Within few years those who will be identified with us will become independent. Every day will be day for thanksgiving There's liberal opportunity available to reach the road success how to travel in that road and stay in it.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1920-02-22
A Complete Explanation

of our plans is exceedingly difficult to place in an advertisement. Each wagon "store" will carry a CON- PLETE STOCK of everything to be found in any grocery store. EACH STORE WILL COME TO THE FRONT OF YOUR DOOR where you can buy what you need and want.
 During the four years of scientific experiment we solved A SURE AND PRACTICAL WAY TO HOLD STOCKS SECURELY IN THEIR PROPER POSITION. CONTAINERS ARE LOCKED. EXHAUSTED STOCKS WILL BE PROMPTLY RE- PLACED WITH NO LOST MOTION. COMMODITIES WILL BE DIS PLAYED AND DISPENSED ON BOTH INSIDE AND OUTSIDE. WE ARE PROTECTED BY THE GOV ERNMENT and operators of any other system will infringe in some manner. Remember this. Now the reason our rent is so small is due to the fact that we house all of our 'stores" in one central place where we will have -' warehouse and cold storage Such place could be located anywhere Stores" move slowly, make frequent stops and upkeep is low.
