THE NUBILITY OF WORK
One of the things 1 cannot under¬
stand is that there are men and
women who think that there is some¬
thing ignoble about work, and who
go about endeavoring to decrease
the working hours; who seek a
greater share of the profits and yet
would decrease the hours of produc¬

SAVIORS OF THE WORLD
The real saviors of the world are
not the men who try to destroy, are
not the fellows who invent hair¬

altruists of the world are the men
who do honest work, the men who
through their own lives and efforts
give to the world a mental stimulus.
They are the ones who benefit so

who mak^ for higher liviing.—Se¬

Gentlemen:
Mr. Clarence Roland of our town
has asked us to write you r; trding
his ability as a mechanic and etc. (n
answer to same wish to state frankly
that we consider him by far the best
mechanic in town, in fact the writer
has never allowed anyone else to
work on his car and Mis needless to
say, there are a great many others
that feel the same way about bis
work and we consider him none other
than a first class mechanic in every
sense of the word
As to his character, he is a quiet
good citizen, well thought of, ab¬
solutely honest. We credit him or
his family for any amount they may
want at any time and wish to say he
is absolutely good for his debts and
strictly honorable in every sense of
the word.
If you see fit to employ him we
feel sure you nor your customers at
any time would want him to leave
you.
Yours truly,

that the people driving automobiles

they are due to the fact that the
drivers, seeing the train coming, try!
to beat it; that is, they believe they
can cross the track ahead of the
Practically all of the crossings in
country are well marked. There
a few of them where one cannot

where trains can be seen, and

the crossing;. But the speed |

Gentlemen ;
Your letter of 21st relative to C.
Roland now employed by us will say
that he is an exception of a mechanic
can handle any kind of a job on any
kind of a car.
While we need a man of his caliber
we are not at present in position to
give him what he is really worth on
account of the amount of work rhat
we are getting. Hate to lose him
but glad to help him into a better nos
»ition.
Yours truly,

TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN.
I wish to state that I have known
Mr. Clarence Roland for ten or
twelve years and his morals are good,
and I take him to be one of the best
Automobile mechanics I have ever
had any dealings witn. I have own¬
ed several cars and I now own a 7
passenger Case and my car exper¬
ience has taught me that Mr. Roland
can make adjustments where others
fail. He is the best on Corborators
I have ever seen, in fact he is good
on all parts of a car, and I assure you
that he has been put to the test and
without a doubt we will all miss him
in our little town. No one will
make a mistake if they are fortunate
enough to get in connection with him
on this line, as I am sure he is a
natural-born mechanic.
Respectfully submitted,
D. A. BROWN.
