Says Pile Remedy
Worth SIOO.OO a Box
I have had itching piles ever since
my earliest recollection. I am 53
years old and have suffered terribly.
I have tried many remedies and doc
tors, but no cure. About 8 weeks
ago I saw your ad for Peterson's
Ointment. The first application
stopped all,itching, and in three days
all soreness. I have only used one
35c box and consider I am cured, not
feeling any return of the trouble for
6 weeks. You have my grateful,
heartfelt thanks, and may asveryone
that has this trouble see this and
give your ointment, that is worth a
hundred dollars or more a box, a
trial. Sincerely yours, A. Newth,
Columbus. Ohio.
Peterson's Ointment for Piles,
Eczema and old sores is only 35
cents a box at all druggists. Peter

One of the many interesting fea

and dancing skit called
Dixie. In the skit the leading
characters will be "Old Uncle Joe"

fame. A good representation of
Southern negro life is presented. A
typical logcabin and cotton fields
help to supply a realistic back
ground to the skit. Tom Lynch will

"Aunt Jemima's" jolly face and fat
figure will be assumed by another
local member of the company whose

we might as well tell you as any
one else. The whole skit was writ

2 cents on each dollar of sales—only a

11% on investment (capital and surplus)

Automatic Lubrication —Fewer Parts
STEWARTS have fewer grease cups and places to oil important because
truck wear results from lubrication neglect.
Stewart method of applying power delivers more than 90 per cent to the rear
wheels and allows the springs, instead of the tires, to absorb starting and
stopping shocks. This, with the elimination of 600 to 700 parts, saves gaso
line and tires, the largest items in cost of operation, and increases the life of
Stewart trucks.
The average truck price is S2OO to S3OO above the Stewart prices
More than 200 lines of business now use Stewarts because of their simplicity
and long life. Individual firms operate fleets of from five to fifty.
When you buy Stewart transportation you get constant service.
