Bismarck Salesman
Loses Talking Point

Friends Of Jack Fortenberry. Bis
marck salesman, win tell you that no
one has ever been able to chain Jacks
tongue for more than a minute-that
he always has a talking point"
But King Winter has done the i'm
possible.
It's like this: Jack was raised in
Mississippi. where the cotton blooms
and blows.
Jack had never touched his tongue
to cold iron. He didn't know that cold
iron could burn-that Is, until he
came to North Dakota.
Jacks automobile tire chain links
broke yesterday. He stopped to fix
them. He put one in his mouth.
Jacks friends today are marveling
at the phenomenon of the glib
tongued salesman waiting for nature
to give him q new talking point"
