Light Hauling at Little Expense 



Country life implies many trips of greater or less length from the home to the 

 various sources of supply — store, mill or depot, either to fetch or carry loads too 

 heavy for carriage horses, too cumbersome for a touring car, and for which the work 

 horses even when they can be spared from the field are too slow. A light speedy auto 

 wagon, capable of carrying 1,000 pounds or more, at 10 to 15 miles an hour, is the 

 vehicle for such work. We offer just such a handy wagon in the 



International Auto Wagon 



It is built by practical men to meet such conditions as the above. It will travel 

 country roads at all seasons of the year; it is simple and easy to manage, powerful, 

 and dependable. It runs on solid tires, doing away with the trouble and expense in- 

 cident to pneumatics. It is built throughout for light, speedy hauling at little expense. 



Country home owners, farmers, and city business men find it the handiest light- 

 hauling and quick-delivery wagon made. Detailed statements of work capacity and 

 comparative cost together with catalogue of the car, will be mailed on request.

"Adventures in Friendship " 



" Adventures in Friendship " is an 

 attractive book, rich in insight into char- 

 acter and alive also with the charm which 

 comes to a man who keeps his eyes open to the magic appeal of nature." 



— London Standard. 



" Adventures in Contentment " 



" The proper word to apply to this book is charming, for these little stories of life 

 in a back country village are told with a quiet humor and kindliness that remind one of 

 the days of Mrs. Gaskell and Miss Mitford." — Indianapolis News.
