"I was born in the mountains,
raised in the mountains, and
lived 37 years in the mountains.
I've got no use for hot, flat
country."
So, after 16 years in Miami,
Fla., Simon (Sam) Brunner and
his wife moved to Macon Coun
ty. The mountains here are not
as high as the Alps of his na
tive Germany, but they're
mountains enough, says Mr.
Brunner.
The Brunners bought the old
Charles Cabe home place in
Clark's Chapel community three
years ago. They have almost
finished remodeling. One of the
biggest undertakings in the re
novation has been lowering the
11-foot ceilings in the large,
two-story house. A magnificent
view is to be had from looking
out any living room window.

RADFORD JACOBS
MANAGER
Mr. and Mrs. Brunner learned
of Macon County through his
sister and her husband, Mr. and
Mrs. Prank Fischer, also of Mi
ami, who own a summer home
just up the ridge from the
Brunners.
Now, a third member of the |
SIMON (SAM) BRUNNER
Brunner family may be coming
here; Mr. Brunner is trying to
interest his son-in-law ? who,
like Mr. Brunner, is an uphol
sterer ? in moving to the Clark's
Chapel area from Miami.
Simon Brunner left his home
town of Munich in 1937 and
headed for America. A relative
living in New York City met
him. After a few days' visiting
there, the relative put the new
immigrant on a Miami-bound
bus. Mr. Brunner did not know
a word of English.
In recalling the journey
south, he tells about his seat
mate, an American, who talked
all the way to Miami. Unable
to understand a word or to
comment, Mr. Brunner just sat.
The American chatted for the
whole Journey, apparently un
aware that his words were
wasted.
Mrs. Brunner and the children
joined her husband the follow
ing year.
The year 1937 was but two
Chevrolet shows you some important differences in low-priced cars just by ,
the look on Us face !
Wouldn't you say that most of the '57 cars
look good from 50 feet away, but what about
from 50 inches away?
What does a close-up of the grille tell you, for
example? Is it solidly made like the new
Chevrolet grille? Or, in comparison does it
look less rich in design? feel less strong and
solid? Compare the quality and construction
of the bumpers and headlights, the fit of the
chrome trim.
The more closely you look all around the car,
the more clearly you'll see that Chevrolet has
the edge in the way it's put together.-You'll
find, for instance, that Chevrolet is the only
car in its field with a lacquer finish . . . that
only Chevrolet Bel Air models give you foam
rubber cushions in front and rear seats as
standard equipment. These are just a few of
the advantages of Body by Fisher. And
Chevrolet, you know, is the only low-priced
car that has a Fisher
Body.
We'll be glad to give
you a close-up, com
parative look at this
new Chevy any time
you care to come in.
This week, maybe?

What amazed him about
America when he first went to

that workmen could take a

foreman didn't care. He said he
