AMSTERDAM SCHOOL CLOSING EXERCISES One of the most enjoyable and entertaining occasions ever wit nessed in Amsterdam was that of last Friday afternoon, when the school had its closing exer cises. On account of a better loca tion the lawn of Mrs. D. A. Shaw was used. The grounds were beautiful, besides the love ly trees and flowers of various kinds that made the lawn an ideal place for a party. There were small pines, ferns, vines, and beautiful magnolias artisti cally arranged to make a more perfect garden. The rustic seats for the guests were placed among these attractive decorations. The guests arrived at five o’clock. Miss Elizabeth Shaw opened the exercises with a piano solo, “Pigeon on the Roof.” Then came another piano solo, ‘‘The Flowers’ Song,” by- Mamie Shaw. The rendition of both was excellent and showed a marked improvement in their year’s study. Then came the “May Pole Dance.” by the en tire school. The pole stood in front of the porch. The porch being used as a background. It was prettily decorated in vines palms and the lanisters being entwined with moss. At the top ot the pole was a tank of sweet peas. The ribbons were pink and green. While Boulang ers’ March by—Albert Muller, was being played on the Victro- la, the children came marching from a secluded spot on the lawn. The girls wore white middy suits and the boys wore white blouses and blue pants. The Victrola continued playing as the children took their rib bons and danced through a series of figures. A prettier sight could not be pictured as these little children merrily danced and skipped and when they finished winding the pole they sweetly sang their closing song. Miss Daub accompanying them with the piano, and not a single mis take or halt was made in the entire performance. It showed much work, both by pupils and their teacher, Miss Daub. It made all wish to be a school child once more. Delicious sherbet and cakes were served by Mrs. Shaw as sisted by Miss Daub, Mesdames Andrews, Harrison and Miller. They then enjoyed several select pieces on the V i|c t r o 1 a. The crowd bid Miss Daub good bye at 6:30. Each having spent an afternoon that will long be re membered. Miss Daub has gone to her home in North Carolina, but will return in September to re sume her work. Amsterdam is very fortunate in securing a lady with so sterling a character and ability as Miss Daub.

T HIS is the time of the year when more people are considering the question of “what car to buy” than at any other time of the year. This community has its full share of people who will soon be driving their first car or a new car to replace the old one. Now, we know that we are going to sell Max well Cars to a great many of these people—de pending upon how many we are able to acquaint with the merits of the Maxwell. The generous value offered in the car is so evident—its past record is so full of good perform ance—owners speak so well of it—that when the buyer knows these things, he is eager to buy a Maxwell. In order to tell as many people as possible about the merits of the Maxwell Car we are going to spend a lot of money in the next few weeks in this paper advertising Maxwell merits to those who do not know them. The reason—we want to sell as many Max wells as possible this season. Our future allot ments will depend upon how many Maxwells we sell now. You may know that the Maxwell market is a buyer’s market, not a seller’s market—broadly speaking. The demand for Maxwells the country over is greater than the supply. For this reason cars are allotted to dealers by the factory according to the size of the dealer’3 business. We want to make a showing and be in a posi tion to get a generous allotment of Maxwells hereafter. Because the more Maxwells are sold in any community, the greater is the future demand. We realize the opportunity to do an ever-increasing Maxwell business. This is only the first of the several messages we are going to print—a few days apart—concern ing the Maxwell Car. But we don’t expect to be able to adequately present Maxwell merits in printed words alone. If you are one who is going to buy a new car you will find it decidedly to your advantage to find out all you can about the Maxwell before you place your order. Come in and talk it over with us and let us demonstrate the car to you. Then, don’t take our word alone, but ask those who now own Maxwells. Get “posted” about the Maxwell and you will realize more satisfaction and gat more “value re ceived” for your motor car money than ever before. And we are just as willing to have you investi gate other cars just fully as you do ours. The Maxwell will not suffer by the comparison. Why not start your Maxwell investigation today?
