New faces are appearing on
wrestling cards throughout the
United States, bringing more and
more young men into the great
graphing game. People ask why
anyone would want to go into the
wrestling racket to make living
and at the same time acquire cauli-
flour ears and other deformitieG
peculiar to matmen.
However, if we stop and consider
the cash that these performers make
it is easy to see the reason so many
enter the game.
jim London, one of the greatest
wrestlers in the racket has made
over two million dollars and Ed
Stranger Lewis is reputed to be
worth more than three million.
With a chance to make as much
money as these two men have made.
1t is no wonder that the ranks of
Wrestlers are continually increasing

A SAFE CAR help make a safe driver.
There is no compromise with safety
in the Ford VS. for 1886.
Ford safety begins with the desire to
make a safe car, regardless of cost. 1t

Ford safety, therefore, is not merely
the safety of dependable brakes. 1t goes
farther than that and includes genuine
