jiKan man following serious injuries
buttered in an automouiiu accident,
j Lan Mercure operates a thriving
'business as a Wldja-Ovtuiand deal
ler in the small Michigan vlluge. of
slightly less than three hundred
t soul. For several years Mercure
jhad seen hi business grow from
a meager beginning until prosper!

In demonstrating a car to a cus

(drove up, pinning the unfortunate
man between the two auiomouilts
and crushing both legs at the
knees. Jan wu.s taken home, both

he was left to lie weeks in bed un
til the broken members should
'heal, with nothing to occupy liu
J mind but worry and rerftlesdnead.
Hut Dan Mercure was not so
lea.dly downed and some hidden
strain of sturdy ancestors urged
him on. "1 can and 1 will continue
my business just as if I were well"
was his resoive and he proceeded
to do It. The telephone was
'moved to bis btdside on a swing
ling stand, one tbair served as a
.table for liieiature and another, in
j conjunction with a hu,e dicium
jary, was borrowed for a dk.'ilr-jcu.-e
set about Willi a will to call
!on h' frit mis. He invited them
jto drop in and talk over business,
(crops, the weather and any other
excuse that would bring them in.
i They came, and Jan Mercure plid
his uuUe even better than when he
jwas a well man.
From the day of his accident,
September 2ti. to October 11, Mer
