.The one great reason why piaster owners like Master
Trucks is practicaly.identical with the reason why

them. It is simply because, once the truck goes into

result 1S" continuous,..' uninterrupted, economical

For more than forty years' before
Wood row "Wilson was elected president
in 1912, a reform of our banking and
currency system had been almost uni

rates had long beeii held b5' favored
groups who were thus able to domi

friends,- destroy rivals, precipitate and
end panics and in short through their
financial, social aiid political out
posts, be the real rulers of America.
The federal reserve act was originated,
advocated and made a taw by a demo
cratic president and congress against
the bitter protestss of the republican
standpatters, who almost without ex
ception voted against It. Among these
men are he familiar names of Sena-
