<ber of friends were invited to Mr*, j
M. J. McFadden’s for a few hours
of rook. The occasion proved to (
■be, however, more than a rook
party, for in a clever way the en
gagement of (Miss Julia Neville to
Mr. Andrew Nickles of Greenville
was announced. After c^rds we^e
laid aside Mrs. McFadden told, the
guests that Dan Cupid had' a mes
sage for them, but as he was not
very fluent of speech the secret
would be revealed by the pulling cf
a pink ribbon. The dining room
doors were then thrown open. The
table was beautifully decorated in
pink and white. Apple blossoms
adorned the chandelier and from it
hung a shower of pink ribbons.
Pink tulle streamers were Caught
from three corners and held in
place on the table by pink shaded
candles. A cluny piece over pink
coveredvthe table, and the center-
piece was little Irene Dillard as
Cupid. By the pulling of tlnTpink
ribbons there came a shower of
miniature suit cases with the
words: “A case worth looking in
to. r ’ Inside was a cupid announce
ment card. Much surprise was man
ifested a ndthe popular and attrac
tive bride-to-be was -soon surround
ed by the warmest friends, who
wished for her every happiness. •

, block cream and heart-shaped
cakes. On each cake was a tiny
dove.

Arguments We Rest Our Case
Y OU, the buyers, we the real builders of wagons. You put
the final Okay upon the use of certain materials and con
struction when you buy a wagon containing them—rand
refuse to buy a wagon that does not. We want to show you how
the Thornhill Wagon is built. Upon a plain statement of facts
we are willing to rest our case. We believe the Thornhill way
would be jour way if you should build a wagon.
For spokes and axles tough second growth highland hiftory is
used For hubs and felloes the sturdy white oak is preferred.
This wood grows upon the mountain side. The ground is hard—*

THORNHILL WAGONS
Full Circle Iron
Malleable Front Houn Plato
Trussed Bolsters and
Gears
R—ten Plato of
Malleable Iron
Long Wear Bed:
In turning and backing up, with the ordi
nary circle iron, which is only a half circle,
bolsters run off the end of the track and
hang. It is difficult to make short turns and
back up. The Thornhill full circle iron
gives a continuous track on which the bol
sters can turn. -
The gears of Thornhill wagons stay in line for
life. Instead of the usual front hound plate,
a hound plate of malleable iion is used. It is
a metal jacket braced at eight points that
keeps gears from ever getting out of line.
On the front Bolsters of ThomhiH wagons
are heavy iron plates running along top and
bottom—connected by rivets that run clear
through the bolster. Strength and lightness
are combined. Rear gears are strongly
ironed. There are braces on both top and
bottom that extend the full length of the
hounds. .
Solid trust bars extend the full length of the
axles giving them double strength.
If you examine the beds of Thorr.h:!!
Wagons closely you will.see at once the
superiority of the construction. The
bottoms are re-iaforced over front and
rear bolsters. *
Come in and examine this wagon for
yourself. We will take * pleasure and
pride in showing you a Thornhill—The
wagon made of tough highland oak and
hickory—with features all others lack.
