THE JOY OF MOTHERHOOD Words of Encouragement to Childless Women. ‘ Motherhood is woman's natural desti- ny, but many women are denied the happiness of children simply because of some curable derangement. Among the many triumphs of Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound is its marvelous power to overcome such derangements, ns evidenced by the fol- lowing letter: — Worcester, Mass,—*‘I suffered from female ills, and was advised to have an |||Illl|l|||u|"“l| operation, but a £ friend who had taken Lydia E, Pink- ham's Vegetable Compound and who has six children, told me totry it.

HIS is the time of the year when more people are considering the question of “what car to buy” than at any other time of the year, This community has its full share of people who will soon be driving their first car or a new car to replace the old one. Now, we know that we are going to sell Max- well Cars to a great many of these people—de- pending upon how many we are able to acquaint with the merits of the Maxwell. The generous value offered in the car is so evident—its past record is so full of good perform- ance—owners speak so well of it—that when the buyer knows these things, he is eager to buy a Maxwell. In order to tell as many people as possible about the merits of the Maxwell Car we are going to spend a lot of money in the next few weeks in this paper advertising Maxwell merits to those who do not know them. The reason—we want to sell as many Max- wells as possible this season. Our future allot- ments will depend upon how many Maxwells we sell now, You may know that the Maxwell market is » buyer's market, not a seller's market—broadly speaking. The demand for Maxwells the country over is greater than the supply. Touring Car $655 F. O. B. DETROIT C. W. FRANCIS AUTO CO. 2216-18 Farnam St., Omaha Time Payments if Desired For this reason cars are allotted to dealers by the factory according to the size of the dealer’s business. We want to make a showing and be in a posi- tion to get a generous allotment of Maxwells hereafter. Because the more Maxwells are sold in any community, the greater is the future demand. We realize the opportunity to do an ever-increasing Maxwell business. This is only the first of the several messages we are going to print—a few days apart—concern- ing the Maxwell Car. But we don’t expect to be able to adequately present Maxwell merits in printed words alone. If you are one who is going to buy a new car you will find it decidedly to your advantage to find out all you can about the Maxwell before you place your order. Come in and talk it over with us and let us demonstrate the car to you. Then, don't take our word alone, but ask those who now own Maxwells. Get “posted” about the Maxwell and you will realize more satisfaction and get more “value re- ceived"’ for your motor car money than ever before. And we are just as willing to have you investi- gate other cars just a3 fully as you do ours. The Maxwell will not suffer by the comparison. Why not start your Maxwell investigation today?
