Dear Folks of The Old Home Towz
I’ve made my run—am sitting

ing you last I once more made that

Irwin Cobb wrote that much talk
ed of article “speaking of operations"
after he had been on the table only
once—but I can put it all over him
with my four—and I will have some
thing to talk about the rest of my
life. Just think of what a good time
I am going to have when I get home.'

from Dr. Hall’s home—and her houi
and her first nan
on the sunny side. Just like
dump the children’s toys, and their
rubbers—and Johnny’s base
things and the baby's rag doll, and
the broken ribbed umbrella into the
hall closet—and shut the door—when
you see company coming. That hall
closet is a wonderful inatitution.
Then too—these “open letters” to my
friends have made it possible for me
to tell all of you how—I appreciate
thc cards, notes, letters, and “poems”
that have come to me and made my
days glad. I thank the Recorder for
printing them, and for the suggestion
that they be written—for I could
never have answered my mail with
personal replies.
This part of my stay here—the
waiting game—swill probably be the
hardest. Not having another opera
tion to look forward too—I may get
a little restless. So—come in friends
—get out your paper now—and w’rite
me another letter.
Anyway—I hope—“it won’t be
long now—.”
Yours for friends,
NELLE WOMACK HINES
P. S. Don’t forget to speak to “the
Judge.” He has had a wonderful
“vacation” and since it is begining to
draw to a close—he may be feeling
little “down in the mouth.”

(high pressuie or balloon) you get a WRITTEN guarantee of at least one year's
full service. Tbe guarantee covers practically every cause of tire trouble. No
matter what happens, the tire must run a year or more or we make it good.
We couldn't afford to do this with any other tire than the famous Armored
Cord Cooper. With its shock-insulated Armored Cord Construction the Cooper
is built to outrun anything else on wheels. One year is only a minimum of
service.... this remarkable tire should go two years and longer without trouble.
Come in . . let us show you this marvelous tire . . . and tell you more about the
new Unconditional Guarantee!
