SOUSA F Endorses Conn supreme quality When Jonesville Travels “Sittinc up till midnight to catch the Cannon Ball was the chief thrill of going away from Jonesville, when I first knew the town,” said the gray-headed commer- cial traveler. “To-day, when one of my customers is going to New York he has his dinner at the Hotel New Trianon—it used to be the Smith House—goes to the first show at the New Paradise Theater, and then taxis down to the station and goes to bed on a car which during the night will be pushed down to the junction and hooked on the Limited without waking him up. “T remember on my first visit the leading merchant told me he had just come back from a trip on a sleeping car and had lain awake all night worrying about the money in his pants’ pocket. He goes to Palm Beach every winter now in a state- room and whatever money he takes with him on the train he expects to leave there. “The biggest change is in the women. In those days they used to be afraid of the porter; now they won't make reservations on the Night Express because it doesn’t carry a ladies’ maid. “Tt was the thing then for a family to carry a train luncheon in a shoe- box. Nowadays when a plate glass dining-car door is smashed by some impatient passenger it’s ten chances to one the guilty person did his early traveling with a lunch basket in the tack above his head.” McC.

He was expert, so, aided by his father’s insurance money, he was able to send his son to art school. Until one day the ropes holding him to the half-painted steeple became fouled. . . .It was a windy day. *** His orphaned son, who preferred to do his walking and painting on the ground, used the insurance money to complete his training. He quickly distinguished himself as a landscape artist. Until one day, while he was engaged with a sunset, a girl passed. She was homeward bound from the office where she worked as a stenog- rapher for an importer of French hosiery. . . .It was a windy day W. L. W.
