When in ('it eration, the pit tup receives its power from the tractor by means of a chain drive belt connected to a pulley on the tractor. Six linen of hose lead from the lank to the operator. Kach hose is supplied with two suction noz tles. Kach man operates two nozzles. The operator applies 'he nozzle to the cotton bolls and the cotton is ii'ime diately sucked Into the storage ia;i!;.

This sort of service never gives more than it must and follows out merely the letter of the law. t This AGENCY service Is different. IT promises much service to the public, and gives full measure. In short, this ACEXCY'S ser vice being of the spirit reaches far beyond the letter; and It Is that which in more than fourteen years has made this AGENCY known all over the county. I ire.

' Special steels make this so. They are made to Maxwell's own formulae. No other steels in any car are just like them. These special steels are of great strength and make pos sible the ideal Maxwell con struction of brute strength with light weight. Obviously, they are high priced metals. They equal, pound for pound, the steels in any car built. The wisdom of their use in the Maxwell becomes evident when one observes the rapid growth in public favor of this remarkable car. Consider that nearly 400,000 of them are now in use; that 100,000 more will be added to this total in 1920. Heath Motor Go. MONROE, N. C. Miss Howie Kntertains.
