Illustration describes how easy it’s done by making
Negro’s Adventure in Florida.
(From the Tampa Tribune.)
Simeon Washington, a negro resi
dent of the Flatwood district, down
Peace river, determined to go in the
real estate business.
Hearing of the fortunes made over
night in Florida realty, Simeon came
to the conclusion he would abandon
trucking and thrive likewise. In a
short time he circulated his cards, an
nouncing his vocation as “realtor'
| dealing in lots, farms, groves, etc.
i Maintaining his usual dignity, he
l donned his Sunday-go-to-meeting suit,
j with a rubberoid collar and a store
tie, and set forth on a listing expedi
tion. Practically everybody with whom
he came in contact, listed their propc*
ties with Simeon at substantial prices.
Then his selling campaign was start
ed.
In two weeks, hardly a property
remained in its original hands. Mo
money had passed hut the fellow wit’i
a grove traded with the tiurkor who
wanted a change of voertion, until ev
erybody had possession of the other
fellow’s place.
Simeon collected commissions both
! ways, Money not being in evidence, a
I cow, flock of chickens, wagon, horse
or anything worthy of value, was ac
cepted in commission. Then the re
action came.
Wives objected to the new order ot
things and sighed for the original
holdings. Back came Simeon on that
job. Exchanges were made faster than
the original trades.
Today hardly a family is in strung*,
quarters and Simeon has two horses,
three cows, a Ford car, 232 chickens,
eight ducks, a turkey, three suits or
clothes twelve cords of wood, a plow
and half the yard at his place filled
with odds and ends of barter. Inside
his home is a phonograph, sewing
machine, wringer, and other household
necessities.
Everybody appears satisfied with
conditions, particularly Simeon Wasn
ington, who has' announced his re
tirement from realty fields and hi.;
resumption of farm work, supple
mented by a hennery from which ha
is making a good income.

latwronccburg, Ky.—Mr. J. P.
Nevlns, a local coal dealer and far
mer, about two years ago learned
of tho valuo of Thodford'a Black
Draught liver medicine, and now;
he says: ^
Until then I suffered wiih 6o*
vere bilious attacks that ramo on,
two or three times each month.
I would get nauseated. I would
have dizziness and couldn’t work.
“I would take pills until I was
worn-out with them. I didn’t scent
to get relief. After taking the pills
my bowels would act* a couple cr
three times, then I would be very
constipated.
“A neighbor told mo of Blade
Draught and I began Its use. I
never have found so much relief
ns it gave me. 1 would not ba
without It for anything.
“It seemed to cleanse my whole
system and make mo feel like new.
I would take a few doses—get i„(
of the bile and have my usual clear
head, feel full of ‘pep’ and could
do twice the work.”

must have rugged, long-mileage tires if they are
to make money. That is why so many of them have
standardized on Firestone. Experienced race drivers,

can have this same extra safety and economy—by
using Gum-Dipped Cords.
Gum-Dipping, the Firestone extra process, impreg

rubber—insures greater safety and comfort over rough
and sandy roads—builds extra strength and flexibility
into the sidewalls —an exclusive feature that adds
thousands of miles to the life of a tire.
