Is .true that, he 'sold meat at the slall In the'' old Olrard Avenue Market and personally attended te the business In connection with his partner, Jeffreys. He was an' influential member at the time of. the old Beard of Public Educa tion, then known aa the Beard of Scheel Controllers, 'the only public of fice he ever held, except that of City Treasurer.

The whole thing has gene beyond what It was ever intended. A crowd of se-called church people and fanatics, who are reaping a rich harvest like the boot legger. We knew the game from A te Z; yes. we were active, very acrlvc, years age In behalf, of tcmpeance, but never rer prohibitien: yes, we were lis lis neunced by some of the very people who new shout for prohibition, It Is a furce. t. B. Sanderson hajt It right. The very men who put It through had their supply before It w.s pushed through and they told their friends te stock Up and they did. Weeks before this 1 saw a communication from Washington advising "stock te be put In." Heme of my personal friends put in as high as $100,000. I have seen It be u s lit en the public street from the very men who draw ptiv, 'the revenuu men. and' they sold it for $8 n quart.

Yeu can buy a car which fellows mere closely the passing whims of custom body builders. But you cannot buy a meter car which will meet your personal needs mere adequately or mere 'economically than an Appcrsen. Actually it is a low-price carwhen its moderate first cost is spread ever the many years of satisfy ing service it will give you A car of dignity and distinction, the Appcrsen is simple, swift, safe, enduring. Every part that gees into the chassis is designed and manufactured in the Apperson plant at Kokomo. Any woman can drive an Apperson and enjoy it. Ease of handling instant meter response the torrent of power at command freedom from fatiguing vibration and read shocks all make for confidence as well as exhilaration in any driver. Fer six years Apperson engineers and production experts have concentrated en the refining and perfecting of a great meter car "the eight with eighty less parts." The Beverly model marks the culmination of their efforts. In January, at Beverly Hills, California, a standard chassis, stripped for racing, traveled 1,928 miles in 24 hours. Appcrsen owners will never need te drive eignty miles an hour from sun te sun. But the power and endurance demonstrated at Beverly Hills are . important because they assure personal safety under all conditions, speed for any emergency, operating economy, long life and low upkeep cost.
