Dear Foliks: Back in the good old days when these United States boasted a whole flock of red-blooded, two-fisted prize figbters, one William Rothwell, other- wise known as “Young Corbett,” opened the eyes of the sportin’ world f{on two separate and aistinct occa- sions by lambastin’ the livin' day- lights out of “Turrible Terry” Mec- Govern, considered by many the gamest little lightweight that ever donned the mitts! Terry was the idol of Greater Noo York and toted everything a real fighter should, except a cool head. I Wise to this state of affairs, his con- queror took advantage of it, bided his time, kidded the young demon unmercifully, and, after workin’ the Jittle Irishman up.to a pitch where he was seein' purple buttercups || stipped over the wallop that ended the proceedin’s! Enterin’ the dressin’ room of the |{deteated champeen after the second setto, one of his backers and closest pals found poor Terrence weepin || coptous tears, and, evidently thinkin: condolences were in order, unloosened his own tear tank and started to bel- low! But there's where he errd, for no sooner did the battered McGovern || snift the scent of sweet sympathy than he cut loose on his buddykins and beat him up turrible! All of which is recalled to show that nothin' so riles the boney-fidy, lion-hearted fighter, whether in or out of the roped arena, as !)mvl!h) And_especially is this true of the flhundareds of “maimed and ~crippled iads who, through no fault of thelr H{own. are forced to stick around our great hospitals for disabled Veterans!

That the dealer selling the car is honest in his dealings and tells you the truth. i 2. That the dealer is responsible and w111 be in busi- ness after you buy. 3. That the dealer has honestly determined the con- dition of the used car and made any necessary repairs. 4. That the car has not been abused or is in such condition that it cannot possibly give good service. 5. That the car is worth at least as much as is asked for it. \ 6. That the dealer will make good in case the car fails. We are holding a used car sale with these six ideas predominant. We do not believe you can make a mistake in buying any of the cars we are offering for sale. Every car sold carries our standard 30-day guar- antee. If after using it five days you don’t like it, bring it back and we will gladly allow what you paid for it toward the purchase price of any other car, new or used, we have for sale.
