There was only one thought of every delegate present and that was to do what was best for this country of ours, for which only so re cently we wore willing to give our all.” Capt. J. J.

THORNHILL WAGONS S OME Thornhill owners constantly 1 comment on the ease with which die wagon can be ‘ backed up.** This is due to the full circle iron. The ordinary circle is but a half circle ( u ). In making a sharp torn bolsters often run to the end of the track and become “derailed.” • Thornhills cannot do this because their track is a circle ( O ). Others comment on the fact that in spite of tre mendous overloads, Thornhill axles never break. The reason for this is plain. They use tough highland hickory—reinforced by a steel truss bar that extends the full length of the axle. Still others comment that the gears never get out of line. This unusual feature is due to one of their workmen’s inventions. He designed a malle able front hound plate—bolted to the gears at eight points. It’s literally a jacket of iron that holds gears in line and insures light running for life. From hilly sections come reports that the old trouble of broken king boks is unknown among owners of Thornhill wagons. This because uf a cup and saucer arrangement on die bolster that reQeres the king bolt of strain. To others the amazing feature ts the long life of Thornhill beds—dud*to thfir location which gives 'them the pick of the yearly cutting of wood and due, in part, to the fact that they paint with pure lead and linseed oil despite its high cost Thousands of owners have found in Thornhills unusual strength where they are accustomed to weakness. ' Let us show you this perfected wagon. FARMERS MERCANTILE CO., Clinton, S. C. i*M«] \ 1 V OM IT alimiTIWI V *\ \ ’ >\ t r '<D'' . -N . ■} s
