If the
-in
cloth
had ripped
HAD the cloth of my Oshkosh B'Gosh Overalls torn, I would
have been cut topieces,"writes Mr. C.C. Norman, juckson
ville,Texas, who underwent the harrowing experience illustrated
' when he swung off a car and a dangling "bleeder rod" caught his
' ' 'overall leg, jerked him off his feet and under the moving train.
; But the cloth didn't rip! It withstood the
iv sudden jerk that threw Mr.N'orman down and
the repeated tugs as he was rolled and dragged
; , helpless, just ahead of the rolling wheels.
' ' Laboratory tests show that Oshkosh B'Gosh
', : Overalls are made of the strongest, toughest,
longest-wearingcloth made. Experiences such
as Mr. Norman's, where the greatest test of all
is made in a dramatic manner, prove its
; strength beyond question.
Cheap overalls cost more per month
than good overalls

Kasoline and the increasingly hil
cost of youthful talent have lie
cetauated the financial difficul

of the midwest and southwest.
The lure of the fairway ami op

The salary problem. Mr. Gear
believes, has been made doubly
acute by payment of comparative
ly stupendous w air s to recruits
by major league clubs. 1-lnant l.
stability w ill bo achieved in the
minors, he contends, only when
major leagues own and operate
weak clubs, or in lieu of that,
when minor lencues are allowed
to employ raw but promising tal
ent at modest salaries.
Financial woes have invade-i
such class C circuits as the Texas

make money unless they are win
