MANILA ROPE ESSENTIAL.
Reason Why Autoists Should Al
ways Garry Supply.

One Of the most useful things To
carry in the car on tours is - feet
of half-inch manila rope, which has
almost endless uses. In the first
place. il is an admiral BILE tow rope.
It can be wrapped around axle and
spring after some of the spring
leaves have been broken. to get home
without breaking .the rest Of the
leaves. It can he cut in two and
wrapped around the rear tires to give
traction in some mudholc where il
would be impossible to faSten the
chains. The rope can even be used
as a tire, when the last spare has
blown out. and will save the rim on
the journey home.

Enclosed you will find one dollar

This weeks copy of paper came on

it, advertisements and all.

as saw them when was home last
year made me feel proud that POGO
moke City was my home town.
I know there is not another town
it's size in the U. S. that will make a
better showing.
The people, we'll they were just
folks warm hearted, friendly, gener-
Gus, interested in you, and you in
them, and so many of them, friends
you had not seen for 20 years why
you just lived life over again your
boyhood days with them, and it
brought back memories long forgot
ten, how you did enjoy it all, and
you felt proud of them, the people,
your people land you said they are
the best folks in the world, and you
wondered why you left the best place,
the Eastern Shore, The Land of Ev-
ergreens, The Garden of Eden, the
best people to go live in town of
eight million money mad, hurrying,
scuring, scuffling, elbowing human
beings, and ride to and from work
packed in cars like animals in pen.

day as Herbert Hayman used to say
