number or pounds which the loan will

.21,875 beling the weight of the loan In

car's oin thie C., N. & L. railroad will
standl up under about a 50f-ton loan.
Ther'efores by dividing your number of
tons by the amount which each one of
thIs tru'ink systemi's cars will cai'ry, we
find t hat we wouldi have thle freight

this "kale" was down hiere at Launrens
and nobody statnding watch but these
two estimiaip -gentlenien, and then
sutpp)ose thatswe decided to miove it off
towvardo Charleston. Then, and in that
case, to lie exact, the cai's strung out
dowvn the line would m'ake a train
about 17,000 feet long, or long enough
to stretch from the depot to and be
yond Parks Station, called among the
elite "Brand". And then gotting back
to our lesson in division, we figure that
by dividing the number of cars, 437.5,
bthe number of cars ordinarily haul
ed1 on local freight trains, 20 cars to
the ft'eighit, we 'find that It would take
2t full trains and another train of
arbout 17 cars to haul it away." 'At this
point someliody interruptedt to say
"Give me that part of a train and I'd

7-The Idea B-an
i. All of the ncccssities of life have ad
vanced rapidly in price since the wa.r
began~---food, clothing, shoes, hats, ecz.A
* Clothes 7
represent an idea that not even these
momentous times have been able to\
to overcome.
The buying public appreciates a consis
tent policy---the business of Styleplus
makers doubled last year.\
Volume and concentration have made
manufacturing economies possible and so
that increased costs have been offset.
Still all wool fabrics, the same distinct
ive style and careful tailoring, the same
guaranteed satisfaction, same price, $1 7.
The bigger-than.the--tinmes idea has made
good-~-you can still be well dressed for)
$1 7; the price remains~ the same. 4
