My Favorite Stories
By CARL GOERCH
Former Governor J. C. B. Ehr
inghaus was what might be termed
a sophisticated gentleman.
He held various positions of;
high trust, and had traveled exten
sively and met many prominent
people from all parts of the Uni
ted States.
However, once upon a time he
was just a small-town boy who had
never been anywhere and had nev
er seen much of anything. His
horizon was confined to the Albe
marle section of North Carolina.
Little did he know of the ways of
big cities or of the people who lived
Uierein.
Just a plain green country boy.
He graduated from high school
and arrangements were made for
him to attend the University of
North Carolina. He was sixteen
years old at the time but he had
done various kinds of work in addi
tion to attending school and had
saved up the huge and staggering
sum of sixty dollars.
Came the day when he was
scheduled to leave Elizabeth City
and start for Chapel Hill. Members
of his family went down to the sta
tion to see him off. The train left
Elizabeth City at night, so his fath
er had bought him a Pullman ticket
in addition to his railroad fare.
It was the first time young Bluch
er had ever ridden on a Pullman
and he was entranced with the ar
rangement of the berths. He pulled
the curtains and prepared to retire
for the night.
Then came the great problem of
deciding what to do with that sixty
dollars. The last thing his father
had told him was to be careful of
thieves. If he left the money in
his clothing, someone might ex
tend a stealthy hand through the
curtains and take it out of his
pockets while he slept. Nor did he
think much of putting it under his
pillow, because it so happened that
he was a sound sleeper and he was
afraid someone might be able to
steal it without waking him up.
He sat upright in his berth and
considered the serious problem
from all of its angles.
Suddenly, a bright ide-.
His shoes were under ihe berth.
He would take the sixty dollars and
place the roll of money inside one
of his shoes. No one would ever
think of looking in such an unlike
ly place for money.
So he reached under the berth,
drew up one of his shoes, deposited
the money in it and put the shoe
back on the floor of the car again.
Then he pulled up the sheets
and went to sleep.
When he woke up the next morn
ing. the train was* almost in Ra
leigh. The first thing he thought
of was his precious sixty dollars.
Leaning out of the berth, he grop
ed underneath but was unable to
locate his shoes. He admits that to
this day he has never experienced
the sinking sensation which over
whelmed him at that moment.
The savings of a life-time gone!
Disregarding the fact that he was
in his underclothes ? he hadn't
graduated to pajamas in those days
?he fell out of his berth and
crawled underneath, groping fran
tically in all directions. -
No shoes; no money!
He dressed himself as hurriedly
as possible. Then he dashed down
the aisle of the car to where the
porter was busily at work.
"Yes. sah, boss; what kin I do
for you?"
"Have you seen anything of the
shoes tha? were under Lower Sev
en?" anxiouslv inouired Blucher.
"A pair of blaek buttoned shoes?"
The porter pointed at a pair on
the floor behind him. "Is they
them?" he inouired. "Ah hasn't
had time to shine 'em yit."
"Yes." said Blucher. He made
a dive for the shoes and felt inside
of each of them.
They were emoty.
Aeain that sinking feeling.
With a pale face and trembling
voice, he inquired of the porter:
"Did you see anything of a roll of
money around my berth? I seem
to have lost it."
"Yes sah. Here's you' money
right here. It musta fallen out of
your pants poeket and landed right
in this shoe. Here yo* are, boss."
He handed over the moqey. i
Blucher counted it. Every penny of
it was there, and so great was his j
relief and joy that he gave the
porter a whole dollar for a tip. it
should be remembered that in
those days a dollar tip was some
thing unheard of ? practically
speaking. The porter was thrilled
to death, but his thrill couldn't be
gin to compare with the one which

HOTTEST BUICK IN HISTORY
tNo wonder you sen so mony 1935 But&S OH the h gl |H ->:1
wqys?they're rolling up bigger tales than ever before
... in History?topping the popularity that hps already made
Buick one of the "Big Three" of America's beet sellers.
^LmaeHar^rrr? ifiiSfr?tw-J^S
Drive it away *>r?niy *2406j
DID you know that the price of the Buick
pictured here is now ao close to that
of the leading smaller cars, that the dollar
difference has practically disappeared?
* Did you know that this is one of the big
reasons why Buick is now in the "Big
Three" of America's volume sales leaders
? outselling all other cars but two of the
best-known smaller cars?
And did you know that another big reason
for thit hu|i popularity is Buick'a full-line
of automobiles covering entry price range -
from the really-low-priced Special right
up to the custom-built Roadmaster?
But the clincher is tl)is:
More and more people are fading out that
i the dollars you pay feat * Buick buy more
sheer automobile than the same money
buys elscwbeiml .y 7"^S| *
More and more people are discovering that
?
you get more comfort, more thrill, more
satisfaction here?from Buick size and room,
from Buick power and performance, from
Buick ride steadiness and engineering and
solidity of structure.
And?as we've said right along-more and
more people are learning that you can
afford a Buick if you can afford any new car.
Why don't you come visit us and judge
things for yourself?
We can almost promise you that once you
do that-once you see what's to be had here
for the money you pay - and once you feel
, what happens when you press that pedal-yon
won't be happy again until you have a new
Buick of your own.
