One of the most striking ex-
amples of success won over serious
obstacles is found in Indianapolis
in the experience of Benjamin N.
Bogue, founder and for more than
twenty-four years head of the
Bogue institute for Stammerers.
When he was a boy Bogue was
handicapped by the miserable
affliction of stammering. For near
ly twenty years of his life he faced
the discouraging fact that he could
not speak without suffering or.
stammering. He failed in schoolas-
tic efforts and in the business
world he lost one Job after another
because Of his Inability to talk
property.
Finally after trying every prof
fered opportunity In the way Of
SO called cures" Mr.. Bogue,
through an intensive study of the
human voice and the parts Of the
brain that control the vocal or
gans., evolved a systematic method
of overcoming the affliction OF
stammering.
Inspired by IL desire to utilize
his acquired knowledge of STAN
mering and how to Overcome it
successfully to the benefit Of thou
sands whose speech is impaired by
the stammering habit, Mr.. Bogue
established the school in Indian
apolis that bears his name.
Through the portals of the Bogue
Institute for Stammerers have en-
terel several thousand stammerers,
boys, girls, men and women. mis-
cradle because of an afflication
over which they had been unable
to gain control.
Students have come to the
Bogue Institute in Indianapolis
from every part Of America and
from many distant lands to learn
the JOY of unimpeded speech.

MORRIS MARCUS
HAS AUTO PARTS
FOR ALL OWNERS
Capitol Company Able to
Meet Needs of Wide
Variety.

With the arrival OF summer the
car owner hauls the old bus out of
the garage, looks 1t over critically
and, If he is a wise and thrifty man,
speaks thus:
"Well, 1 can't see that there's so
much wrong with this boat. need
new front fender and new glass
in the left headlight, where I
bumped that safety signal. and
there's new gasket necessary to
stop the oil leak from the engine

Capitol Auto Parts and Tire Com
pany, 819 N. Illinois ST., tell Morris
Marcus what I need and he'll fix
me up for less than one payment on
a new car would cost"
Nine Years Experience
nod 1t doesn't matter how many
new or old parts the car needs or
what variety Of automobile it
happens to be, for Morris Marcus, in
the nine years that he has been in
business, has gathered together
every imaginable part from every
known variety Of car and has them
all, neatly arranged, where the car
owner can pick out what he needs.
Everything from the differential to
the radiator cap is to be found in
the large and varied stock Marcus
carries. There are headlights, tail
lights, radiators, wheels, tires, rims,
engines, fans, winshields, front and
rear seats, steering wheels-in short,
all of the hundreds Of parts that go
into an automobile or come out of
one when 1t is dismembered.
Cost Is Low
Many Of these parts are as good
as new, but because they have been
used they may be bought at much
less than the new price. Customers
who have once bought from Marcus
return many times. for they ap-
preciate the fact that at the Capitol
Auto Parts and Tire Company they
are given service and satisfaction
at a saving.
