P. Nissen. Both are direct des tion for « hn»?neaN trh u ° v *787 began the Manufacture of "Nissen” wagons and laid the founda usiness which has broken all records for continuous business by one family. s Friday evening there appeared on the streets an old crooked bed wagon of the prairie schooner type, carrying on it placards advertising the great moving picture “The (Covered Wagon” which comes to the Auditorium for a three days run on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. This outfit to the casual observer was only a unique way to adver tise the picture, but a little inquiry brings to light some unusually in teresting history which links to gether the picture “The Covered Wagon,” one of the greatest pic tures portraying real American ■history, and a business concern of our city, The Nissen Wagon Works which is the oldest wagon works in the world and holds the world’s record for continuous business by ;one family. Riding in this old wagon wei*e ■George and Richard Nissen, grand sons and Miss Francis Shore, a great granddaughter of the late John Phillip Nissen, who built many of the wagons making up the memorable wagon train which car ried the pioneers across the Rockie^ straight .hrough to Cali- { fornia on which was based the j istory for the gigantic moving pic- I tturo production, ' The Covered I Wagon.” The two Nissen boys who will in a few years step in and cax*ry on for another generation the “Nis sen” business, as well as Miss Frances Shore are all direct de scendants of Tycho Nissen who came to the United States and be gan the manufacture of “Nissen Wagons” in the year 1787. These young people no doubt look upon their experience in driv ing this old vehicle through the streets, merely as a “lark” and it is doubtful if they realize that there could not be found in the en tire country another case such as this. It is doubtful if they realize that the heroic characters portrayed in the marvelous picture “The Cov ered Wagon” are the real charac ters of their forefathers wfoose in domitable spirit overcame obsta cles which today would be consid ered impossibilities and laid the foundation for a wagon business which has lived through genera tions since 1787. It is doubtful if they realize that che characters shown in this gi gantic, re-production of earlier American life are the real charac ters of one of their uncles and great-uncles who braved the dan gers of the savage tribes of In dian- ana tvno followed the tan gied trails through deserts—over the great Rockies and right through into California with their old “Nissen” wagon as a part of' the identical wagon train from which the great writer, Emerson Hough, took the facts shown in “The Covered Wagon” which has already been seen by more millions of people than any moving picture ever filmed. When “The Covered Wagon”! opened on Broadway in New York! city, the Famous Players-Lasky! people came to Winston-Salem fori some of these old “Nissen” wagons! which to make the stage setting’ for the opening scene. They camel to Winston-Salem for some ofl these old wagons to put on the streets in New York, Boston, Chi- • cago and other big cities to adver-; tise their great picture. Nowhere else could be found a factory which had produced these wagons! for the original train. When “The Covered Wagon”! came to Winston-Salem, wo had not only the old wagons, but we had the factory that hai for more than a hundred years built them.i and we had the direct descendant* of the early “Nlssens” still con nected with the wagon industry, to drye them. score another hit for Winston Salem. ‘ taken at once to Brantwood Hospital ‘ for an operation.

Mr. Stone adds that the la bor banks already have resources 01 one hundred million dollars and are doubling those resources every year. Prohibition is one of the great in fluences that have brought about the increasing financial power of the working classes in this country. Mr. Stone thinks that in the last three years more than three billion dollars has been added to the amount of savings that the people had when prohibition went into effect. —Life is full of joy for those who can forget their sorrows.
