LIKE LOG CABIN THEORY History provides that unless an aspirant for the presidency of - the United States was born in a log cabin his chances for shoving his feet under the dinner table in the White House are slim, Nebraska history seemingly pro- vides that unless you have at one time or another been a deputy at- torney general you won’t amount to shucks among the legal fraternity of the state and middle west. “It’'s an unusual state of affairs, but . true,” said Dijstrict Judge George. A. Day,” that men who have filled the | position as deputy attorney general of Nebraska have risen to heights of prominence, politically and finan- wially. .Here They Are. Take a look down the line: The position was established in the early '80s. Before that time there was no need for an assistant to the attor- ney general. First of all, there was William A. Dillworth.

O. B, CLEVELAND) Answering the Question Thousands Have Asked HE automobile industry is so big, so vital, that rumors run rife in it, rumors founded and unfounded. So it is not strange that thousands of admirers of the Chandler Six, thousands of pro?)ectjve Chandler owners, have asked “What are you going to do in January? Are you going to bring out a new model? Are you going to build such-and-such kind of motor? Is it true you are going to adopt a new design of body? What about the price?” And this is our answer. In the series of Chandler Sixes which will follow our com- r'etion of production of the present series, we shall continue to build as the heart of this great car the same Marvelous Motor which, with some minor refinements-from time to time, has distinguished the Chandler for four years past, the same Chandler- design and Chandler-build motor which has become famous for its power and flexibility and simplicity and economy. And we shall continue the beautiful walnut-panelled tonneau-cowl type of bodies—with soft, deep cush- ions and lustrous finish—which preceded many recent “new models” by many months. And the price cannot be lowered. In all probability it will be higher. Ask any Chandler dealer or any owner of an Cfiandler— whether Type 14 or 15 or 16 or 17—if he would gave us build some other type of motor. Ask yourself what change could make the present Chandler more beautiful in body design. : This is our answer to the thousands who have asked.
