Seems there was i Center City salesman down at the de pot waiting for the scheduled 8:02 train. Storm raging the way it was, small town, why, the poor chap pictured himself stranded for days. Suddenly a train emerged from the storm and creaked to a stop. It was the 8:02, right on time! The happy salesman shook Jeb’s hand and said: "Weather like this and your 8:02 is right on time!” "Hate to disillusion you, son,” said Jeb, “but this is yesterday’s 8:02.” From where I sit . . . things aren't always what they first apyvar La he impression ) that ansy tea is real refreshment. but not beer , which I prefer ure he’s entitled to his opinion but he s got to respec tmi An extension phone for the kitchen* keeps you in touch, saves steps and costs only about four cents a day.

Mr. and Mrs. Richard Kahelin of Plant City, Florida, couldn't be happier with the way their new Corvair has worked out as a combination family and business car. On their newspaper distribution route alone they travel more than 100 miles a week over all kinds of roads. Little wonder they’re so pleased with the gas mileage they've been getting —“at least twenty-three miles to the gallon with an auto matic transmission . . . and we've had no trouble with our Corvair.” The Kahelins have equally good things to say about Corvair’s easy-going comfort and unique con venience features. They especially like the way the fold- down seat doubles as a built-in baby sitter. k I. • ... IRIVE A CHEVY CORVAIR FOR ECONOMICAL TRANSPORTATION FOR SALE Vernonia Trading Co.
