If youshave an open mind, which you ought to have, and you are willing to be convinced, as you ought to be, TRY EBONITE TODAY, and let the gears of your motor car makesthe decision. Of course, we know that EBONITE is shredded extra heavy oil—our own process of the highest grade— and that manufacturers and automotive engineers every- where recommend its use.

Mr. Sniffle really devised the appli- ance for his own use, so that he could carry a flivver in his tool box when he went on a trip. He found that without taking it apart the fiivver was too bulky to fit neatly into the tool box. After he had made use of his invention himself he realized the pos- sibllities for it, and decided to put it on the market. His enterprise is looked upon with great interest ,and is said to be backed by some of the best known men in insane asylums all over the country.
