Business Men’s Club
A regular meeting of the Bus-
iness Men’s Club was held at
their rooms Monday night. Pres-
ident Strieber was unable to be
present, whereupon M. H. Jacob
was called to the chair, which he
filled in an able manner.
A number of matters of intei-
est were discussed. The com-
mittee that is working to have
the road between here and Little
St. Louis straightened at a point
where it makes a dangerous turn
reported fine progress.
It was reported that collections
for the maintainance of the street

tory.

“I’ve had myStudebaker
IS years—and not
a cent for repairs”
A word of just praise for a wagon that has
done its work faithfully and well.
Men become attached to their Studebakers
— proud of them.
Because they realize that a Studebaker is
built on honor and with an experience in wagon
building that dates back to 1852.
Studebaker wagons are a result of that long
experience, coupled with a desire to build the
best wagons, not cheap ones.
And when your dealer says "Buy a Studebaker
there a no better wagon made" he’a giving you
the verdict of a million farmers. He is not asking
you to try an experiment.

Other matters of minor impor-

my books I endeavor to weave a
strong plot with few characters

fascinated. Webster’s readers
do nothing of this sort. My

that Mr. Webster’s book is a
better seller than mine, but
writers should have a higher am-

for that purpose alone. Oftimes

My second book, entitled
‘‘Who Put Warts on Pickles,” is
another book that I consider
better by far than Webster’s.
Most of the thoughts in this
book were thought by myself.
That is one of my characteristics
to think my own thoughts.
I dislike to do it, but the people
should know, that Noah Webster
was at one time a member of
the Massachusetts legislature.
