THE HOOD RIVER NEWS, WEDNESDAY, MARCH 13. 1912
UPPER VALLEY LANDS
Come to my place at Trout Creek
Station on the Mt. Hood Railroad
and I will show you lands that are
worth having and at prices that are
attractive. Needless to say the lands
right at the station are not represen
tative of what I have for sale.

SPRING HAS GOME;
HERE'S FIRST POEM
Spring ban arrived, or if there U
any doubt about that there are cer
tainly bIruh. Ole NeUou, It. F. D.
carrier on route one, believes the
worst of the winter In past at any
rate and voices his sentlmeuts In the
following verses entitled "The Mall
Currier's Kxperlence:"
Forty-one below rero,
Seems we're frozen hard as rock,
Is the experience of a carrier
rii-klng pennies from the box.
In the employ of the government
Its laws we must fulfill
While traveling through the coun
try Down dale and over hill.
The good Lord with his flurries
Muy sometimes block the way,
ButUenerul Hitchcock up and says:
"Make It, boys, or I'll cut the
pay."
In the winter snow Is deep
And your feet are cold and wet,
It's then the patron comes and
says:
"It seems you have upset."
They expect a card from mother;
If It don't come then they shout:
"That's the most provoking car
rler;
He dou't make half of his route,
"I'll call up the postmaster,
(It will sound well to the neigh
bor)
And over the telephone they cry:
'Say, where's my last week's
paper?' "
but we fellows mustn't kick.
For.a thousand plunks a year
We should overlook these things
And feel we're glad we're here.
Iu winter It Is cold.
In summer hot and sunny.
After all, It's such a snap,
Seems a shame to take the money
In sleet and rainy weather
And lu darkness we may roam,
But we cheerfully sit upon our seats
A slngtiig "Home Sweet Home."
And as we eud our Journey
Near the place of our abode,
We thank the Stars and Stripes
we're done
That long and tiresome road.
When we show up at the office,
Happy, too, I must confess
Thut hupplness Is rudely shocked
Iiy a note upon our desk
From the postmaster. "Dear car
rler:
As you're hardened to the knocks
' Please try to put Smith's mall In his
And not In .lones' box."

You can make
the feed-box pay for
your Brush here's
how one salesman did it.
He figured out that he could double his earn
ing capacity with a Brush and asked his em
ployer to get one for him, but his employer
who owned a big car, laughed at him told him
it would cost too much.

X
So the salesman offered to buy and main
tain a Urush at his own expense, if his
employer would continue to give him the
usual livery allowance. His employer
agreed. At the end of eighteen months he
had saved the cost el his Brush car cut of
the livety allowance and greatly increased
his value to his firm. Now his employer
equips all his salesmen with Brush cars.

Men in all lines of business Salesmen,
Storekeepers, Insurance men. Physicians,
Farmers, Tradesmen, etc. are waking up
to the fact that the Hrush extends their
territory, increases their earning capacity
and saves time and money.
The Liberty-Brush has placed a real auto
mobile within the means of Kvcryman.
The records of the Brush prove conclu
sively that it affords cheaper transport at ion
than the horse, trolley or train. It is the great
est utility and economy car ever produced and
its efficiency is guaranteed by the largest
manufacturers of high-class automobiles in
the world the United States Motor Co.
We represent the Liberty-Brush car here,
and are prepared to demonstrate its value.
Come and see the Liberty-Brush, or let
us call for you and take you on your daily
round of business activity. Let ut r.
plain how the United States Motor Com
pany cares for your car and insures good
service from it.
