HER CHOICE.
Which shall It be, John, Which ahull it be?
I looked at John John looked at me;
The time had come, we must docide,
Which one should be our joy and pride. .
A modern, shiny motor car,
TVould carry us both near and far,
A handsome, comfy, speedy thing -With
motor rumbling promising.
Or else a little bungalow,
. A yard where flowers love to grow;
A house that spoke of Home, and more,
' With roses twining 'round the door.
And so John stood, and looked at me,
And whispered "Dear, which shall it bet"
I gazed upon the motor thing,
And thought what joyf ulneRs t'would bring,
Then turned, and saw with fascination,
That nestling: home its invitation
"Come Dear," said John, "Let's know the worst,"
I said "I'll take the bungalow FIRST."

SUPERIORITIES

Reliable Starter
The Studebaker -Wagner
Starter has proven itself
to be beyond question
efficient and reliable.
We tested the Studebaker-Wagner
Starter ourselves. . In rapid succes
sion we started and stopped the motor
of one of our Studebakers 800 times.
There was never a hitch or a miss.
We satisfied ourselves that this
starter, in use on 300,000 cars, de
signed and made especially for the
Studebaker motor, is the simplest,
most reliable we have ever seen.
Let us show you how well it performs.

"SHAKE A LEG" DOES NOT-
MEAN WHAT IT KAXS
THE BRUNSWICK
Plays All Records
A phonograph that can play but one make of records cannot
possibly furnish you with as much enjoyment as one which will
play any make of record. ;
The Brunswick plays all records. All makes. And plays them
as the composers and originators .Intended them to be played. It
adds much to your enjoyment without additional cost.

Port Royal, S. C, Aug. 18 Under
the watchful eye of a .-uartermaster
sergeant some U. S. Marine recruits
were being fitted into uniforms, today.
One recruit was obviously awkward
and nervous. He was endeavoring to
fit his "number blank feet' into a
pair of "number eight regulation
shoes," and experiencing ir.uch dif-
"Come on shake a lej!' growled
the sergeant, impatiently.
"I tried that, but it don't do any
good," ventured the perspiring recruit,
tugging manfully to acrompnsn a
hopeless task.
The sereeant cave it un in disgust.
"Shake a leg," in the parlance of the
United States Marine, means "tiurry
up."

other additional and exclusive features that stamp it as the mas

That is why we invite you to come and hear it. We want you
to compare it with ordinary phonographs. You will not be urged
to buy. Come prepared for a musical treat. You will not be disappointed.1
