SAM ANI) BOB
Story of How Sam Jones Helped Bob
Taylor to Lecture IMatform
rr ^
I'rider the heading of **Looking and
Listening" on tho editorial page of
the Atlanta Constitution of September
28, Sam W Small had the following
comment on the late iSam Jones:
The story has never been publicly
told of how the famous Tennessean,
ex-congressman and ex-governor,
came to go upon the platform as a |
public lyceum and chautauqua attraction.
He retired from his first term as
governor financially broke. He lorated
in Chattanooga and set out his
shingle as a lawyer, but clients did
not flock to his office so that you
could see them. Hob was* decidedly
in the doldrums. ,
One day he was standing on the
sidewalk in front of his office-stairway
showing a downcast napect when
Sam Jones, our great Georgia evangelist,
walked up and greeted him
cordially. Sam and Bob had several
ripping tilts at Nashville, Sam criticizing
hotly from the pulpit some of
j the governor's acts and Bob banding
him back some hot "bricks in return.
Yet they were jovilly good personal
friends and mutual admirers.
I II M I 1 I
"Bob, how are you getting on?"
queried Sam. ^
And Bob frankly confessed that he
was in a had way; in fact, he said
he was then expecting a court officer
to come and seize his office furniture
and law books with a rent distress
warrant.
iSam said: "Bob, if you'll tfo what
I tell you to do, I'll get you out of
that hole und put you to walking on
I velvet.M
I "What must 1 do?" inquired the
[ astonished exngovernor.
"Let me 'put?you 011?the?lecture
platform^ and your fortune iwill be
ready-made for you," replied Sam.
The governor balked at the proposition.
He said be knew how to
make a political stump speech Well
enough and get away with a little
after-dinner talk, but to go upon a
platform to deliver a formal lecture
to a -big audience of strange people?
"I couldn't make it work." he protested.
But Sam Jones was insistent. He
told Bob to go up home in east Tennessee
and put all the good ideaB
and eloquence he could conjure up
into a lecture, and then report to
him when it was finished and Teady
to be fired off. "But
what will I lecture about?"
asked Bob. ?
"Oh, about human nature, howjH
acts and what fine and funny atajH
tha|>you have kn^jvn it to be gujjgB
of. Call it "The Fiddle and the Bo?*fl
and that iwill make everybody eurionB
to hear it." | j
Sam handed Bob enough money t&fl
clear him from Chattanooga and thtfl
arranged with the Southern LyeeuM
Bureau, at liOuisville, to date Tayldfl
for 100 lectures at $l(ML&nd expeni*l
for each lecture. The plan
through a-whooping and Bob Ttykfl
was a premier attractiorl on the pltfl
form until he went to the senate. W
Incidentally, Ift me record tkfl
Sam Jones did a similar and equtlM
successful favor for General John jfl
Gordon when the general needed sudfl
help mighty much.

\fyou should lift

i and compare the chassis ?
then you too would choose
NewVL I TICK
MM %J M V/H. j
If you were to lift the body from the cbistii
of tat one of a hundred cars?and compare
the ntally important details of chassis design
ana construction?you would find
Buick so outstandingly superior in all
phases of fine car engineering that you
would almost ineritably make Buick your
choice. Here is what you would see in this
famous chassis:
Buick't great new Vatve-in-Head engine?
developing 99 horsepower in the 124- and
1 32-inch models, and 8034 horsepower "In <K8
118-inch models. Unapproached in sturdiness,
all-round performance?ability, reliability and
economy as well.
Buick's new Controlled Servo Enclosed Mechanical
Brakes ? providing - smooth, positive,
silent braking, with minimum pedal pressure.
And?because fully protected against dust, dirt
and water?operating at maximum efficiency in
apy weather.
Buick't new frictionlets steering gear and new Road
Shock Eliminator? twin advancements introduced
by Buick. The Buick wheel offering
effortless control throughout its entire turning
range?and the new Road Shock Eliminator
assuring complete freedom from aonoying
jolts and jars.
Buick't new, longer far spring,, and new

reinforced at points pf *"?? to |ofure. gre?te?t
long life . . . the celebrated torque mm drive,
Buick multiple-disc clutch," aolf-lubricatiog
differential, and numerous other features, 'ft>.*,
When the list of Buick's chassis features?
entirely aside from the irresistible appeal of
Buick's new Fisher Bodies?reads like a
roll-call of all that is soundest and best in
fine car engineering . . . and when, in
addition, you can buy a Buick for as?little
as $122 5, f. o. b. factory . ._. what wonder
that all comparisons lead to Buick! What
wonder that more than 2,000,000 people
have invested their money in Buicks?and
that from two to five times as many are
purchasing this new Buick as, any other
automobile priced above $1200!
