*TP*HE enthusiastic army of over five hundred

measure responsible for the unprecedented
demand for Buick Valve-in-Head motor cars
today. Their daily experiences in Buick service
—Buick economy—Buick endurance, and Buick
reliability, prove conclusively to the present and
future purchaser that “there is no substitute”
for a Buick Valve-in-Head motor car.
These reasons are causing hundreds of persons

“Not one penny more of tax burden
should be levied on the property now
on the tax books of the state, and un¬
der no circumstances should the tax
rate be made greater than it Is today.
“Most of the revenue of Georgia is
derived frorh tax on homes, farms,
stock and other visible property of this
state, while we are told that millions
of — dollars known ""own as as intangible iruangime and and
inv ; sib|e property )s pay|nfi not Hing
to the support and ma j nteiiance of
state government and its Jfplendid
institutions. The additional revenue
necessary for the proper support of all

“Crop conditions In Geoigth are not
bright bright but hut gloomy. gloomy. With With short short crops crops

K w with the disturbed __________ and unsat

eurrir d by the taxpayers will be al
most unbearable. They must be con
sidered and their burden not made
heavier than it is at present, and in
their behalf J make this appeal to you.
“All property should bear its equal
share of the tax burden of the state.
The great task before this legislature
is to solve this important and mo¬
mentous problem. I believe that you
will do so, ever keeping in mind the
words —..—. on »m the great seal oca. of m the u» State quu«

M VVSJE SAVES $25,000.00
AND HE RETIRES.
Atlanta, Gu., June 28.—Eight years
ago Harry Berustein begin selling At¬
lanta newspapers at Five Points, he
had about enough money to buy a
good sized bundle of papers. Today
ae drew his savings-—$25,000—from
the postal savings hank, announced
las retirement from the role of newsie
and purchased a dry goods store in
Covington, Ua., a small farm near
that place and an automobile.
That’s a record for some of our' en
terprising younsters to shoot at.
To la* sure Harry didn’t throw
away much money during that eight
years. He lived on a meager diet,
indulged in no fancy raiment and
wore out more shoe leather than
street car seats. But he salted away
the cash against the time when he
could quit his stand in front of Tom
l’itt’s place and take up his residence
on Easy street. Which he has pro¬
ceeded to do as above mentined.
In this day of H. C. L. $25,000 is
n<> foriune, but it has put Harry Bern¬
stein in the way of taking things a
whole lot easier than standing out in
all kinds of weather selling news¬
papers.
