We have often said that the true test of an automobile
is its ability to withstand the knocks of hard usage on rough
American roads in the hands of unskilled unmechanical
owners. But we've discovered there is a more severe test
of a product than that, and our two famous models Hand-
ers “20" and E-M-F “30" have not only passed through it
successfully, but have again demonstrated that in the minds
of buyers they are today the two greatest cars in the world.
That test was a severe winter—the most severe in the
history of the United States Weather Bureau and in point
of business in all lines, one of the most severe in a decade
in many southern and western states,
Our esteemed competitors all report poor business
during the past four months—but say. "What could you ex-
pect, when you consider crops, weather and other condi-
tions?" Well, to be frank—as is our wont—we didn't ex-
pect much either. That's why we are so exultant over what
did happen. We've enjoyed the greatest season's business
in our entire history. December, 1911, our biggest De-
cember: January our biggest January.

A Quiet Day Here.
Yesterday was a very quiet day
in Manchester, and our belief is
| that that is as it should be. Of
jlate years it has come to be a fixed
j belief that Decoration day should
ibe observed in much the same-way
as the Fourth of July, minus the
fireworks.
This is all contrary to the spirit
which should prevail on that one
day in all the year when we should
devote ourselves to office in remem-
brance of the dead.
You who have a little mound to
decorate—whose heart lies buried
yonder beneath the sod and whose
fondly cherished hopes are dead
with the little one who inspired
them—you do not care for merri-
ment and joyous celebration on
this sacred day. Y o u whose
mother lies there, do not feel much
like having a good time. Or il
your father, or your sister or bro-
ther, or your wife or your husband
has been laid away in the grave,
what pleasure do you find in pas-
times and sports which cheer, but
do not tend to make one show
proper respect for the dead.
Perhaps for months you have
been thinking of the hours you
would spend in silent communion;
of the dreams you would dream
over again; of the past dead you
I would summon before your mind’s
eye. And you have planned to
place fiowers upon those silent
mounds in yonder cemetery, and to
say a prayer over the last resting
place of your loved one.
And as you kneel by the little—
or large—headstone, and place the
flowers gently above the beloved
form; and as your lips form the
l prayer that is in your heart, and
the tears steal down your cheek,
then it is your wish to be alone.
Alone from all the world, that none
may see your gr.ef. Tour heart is
torn with the anguish of blighted
hopes ; your lips quiver with tender
emotion and your whole being
wells up as the memories of those
dear old days comes back to you.
But you do not wish your sorrow
to be witnessed by any, save your
God and the angelic being of the
one you mourn.
The writer is fond of outdoor
games and sports; we are fond of
music, and of having a good time
generally, but not on this one day
which is consecrated to the dead.

The golden h rvest time will soon be here; you fg
should be ready for it. It is bad policy to wait ||
until the last day, when everyone is busy and the yj
horses are all in demand. Come in now and buy
while you can do so leisurely, and while you have
time to look over the stock and make careful, judi- ^ ,
cial selections, rather than wait and be obliged to
rush in and buy the first article shown you.
Our stock has been built up with a view to
placing at the disposal of our customers everytiiUg
they might need, and especial care has been taken
to arrange the stock in such manner as to facilitate
selection and make shopping a pleasure.
