A Great Convenience
A rule which permits of om-iinancmg 3fche pur
chase of your car is proving a great convenience
to many people who need such an accommodation. If your present car will meet the down
payment your loan can be spread over a year or
longer, thus making the monthly payments
small enough so that they may not be a burden
to you.
There may foe other things you need, if not a
ear, 3that urtay be iinaneed by us. We invite you
to call and talk such :things over with us.

very eyes and nose—well, that's
better yet. Recently Saline has
been the setting for one of those
experineees which happen once
in a life time.
The story centers round Mrs.
Harry Brown, who lives just
south of town on the Saline-3M1-
lan road. But let's skip back
through the years to the beginning. When 3Mrs. Brown was a
child of four years her mother
died leaving four little girls, of
which . Mrs. Brown was the
youngest. .The father was devoted to his family and sought
to keep the group together. It
became necessary to find a
Iboarding home for the two
youngest girls. A good home was
secured and the father paid for
their keep. The older of the two
ram back to her sisters and refused to be parted from them.
The little one remained and the
family became very fond of her.
Soon they asked to adopt the
child and although the father refused they continued to coax until finally with the promise that
he might always have the privilege of seeing his child and that
she might also entertain her
sisters and visit them, he consented, reluctantly.
Alas and ailack—what volumes
might be written about broken
promises ranging from the family circle to business (affairs and
even international situations. So
after a month had passed after
the final papers had Ibeen signed
3Mr. Hurd, (Mrs. Brown's father),
called to see his child and was
Daniel Hall. 3Mrs. Roy Miller gave
a very appropriate greeting and
little Peggie Murphy, followed
with a dance. 3Miss Lucille Spind-
ler played Peggie's accorhpani-
ment. Mrs. Arthur Lutz gave ;a
reading, "As a Mother Looks 'At
It," and 3M3ss Betty Clay alsd
gave a reading? 3Mrs. Viola 3Lar-
son, teacher in the 3L»di Plains
school, accompanied Phyllis Hall
and Ivanoe Spangler for 'a
group of two dances. The five
Kleuter girls, Virginia, Grace,
Dora, Norine and Jane, sang and'
Mrs. Edward Murphy accompanied them. Robert Kleuter gave a
recitation. "As A Daughter 3Looks
At It" by Margaret Finch was
f oUowed by a group of two songs
by Ivanoe Spangler accompanied
by 3Mrs. Larson. Mary! 'Ann
Groeb played an accordion solo
and Mary Carol O'Neill favored
with a beautifully executed dance'
with Miss Spindler accompanying. The program was concluded
with a group of solos by 3Mrs.
Murphy. *;
-Honor wais paid to 3Mrs. Richard Clark, the youngest mother
present; Mrs. Julia Carven, "the
oldest mother; 3M3ns. E. M, Gilbert, the youngest grandmother;
Mrs. Paul 3Kleuter, the mother
with the most daughters present, and to 3Mrs. Hazel Cook because of her birthday anniversary. The occasion was one that
will be joyfully remembered
by all who attended.

with Norman Ash as his partner operating a. grocery business
under the name of "The A & T
System." • They operated a truck
out through the rural areas.
After about three years Mr.
Tanner bought'". out his partner
and has conducted the business
ever since, sticking to the truck.
This truck has been a veritable
store on wheels containing fruits,
vegetables, meat and staple groceries. It has been a boon to
many a housewife in the country
who could not get to a shopping
center during the week. Often in
times of emergency, such as extra
help in hayingi, etc. it has met
the need of the farmer's wife.
* During this time 3Mr. Tanner
has had four trucks and he anticipates purchasing another next
year. Last year -a new truck
was purchased-—bigger and better
than- its predecessor—and this
year it was rebuilt and remodeled
for changing needs.
Work will start this week on
one abroad and Holland in tulip

is a hobby from which »he derives much' pleasure. It is hoped
to- have him in Saline, again to
tell of some of his other trips
to the far-away corners of the
earth. 3Many lingered after the
regular hour to further enjoy the
array of pictures.

failure.
Years passed and Mrs. Brown,
now ai young lady, returned to
Michigan. Her foster mother had
told her she was an adopted
child but refused to tell her who
she was or where her people
livect Time passed and tlie
young lady married Harry- Brown
of Milan. For years they lived
on the McDowell farm near
Mooreville. For five years they
have lived in their present home.
Always she kept searching for
information as to whom she
was. Recently she saw her adoption papers for the first time
and then learned that she was
born in Midland not Saginaw as
she had supposed. She also learned h'er father's 'name, Anson
Hurd. Then she started in dead
earnest and after seeking information at the court houses she
followed suggestions and sought
out old-timers finally meeting
One who had gone to school with
her father, Although he did not
know his present whereabouts he
helped trace down the old acquaintance who finally gave her
the news she had been seeldng.
So aibout two wee3ks ago one
morning a housewife in Mt, Morris was busy with spring house-
cleaning. There catme a knock at
the door. Thinking it was the
census taker she was rather in
a hurry to get the visit aver
with. But upon finding it was
her long lost sister they were
soon in a real embrace. Tears,
laughter and questions intermingled. Then the father was
called from an adjoining room.
Overcome with joy and relief,
he" spent the next two days in
bed. Telephones hummed, two
other sisters were notified and
arrived as soon as possible. The
years are but a dream now and
happy reunions have taken place
each week end since. Mrs. Brown
has often felt lonely at holiday
occasions, (but all that will be
different now. She has three nieces and six nephews who are enjoying the thrill of the situation
as much as anybody else.

Recently Saline has been the setting for one of those experineees which happen once in a life time. The story centers round Mrs. Harry Brown, who lives just south of town on the Saline-3M1- lan road. But let's skip back through the years to the beginning. When 3Mrs. Brown was a child of four years her mother died leaving four little girls, of which . Mrs. Brown was the youngest. .The father was devoted to his family and sought to keep the group together. It became necessary to find a Iboarding home for the two youngest girls. A good home was secured and the father paid for their keep. The older of the two ram back to her sisters and refused to be parted from them. The little one remained and the family became very fond of her. Soon they asked to adopt the child and although the father refused they continued to coax until finally with the promise that he might always have the privilege of seeing his child and that she might also entertain her sisters and visit them, he consented, reluctantly. Alas and ailack—what volumes might be written about broken promises ranging from the family circle to business (affairs and even international situations. So after a month had passed after the final papers had Ibeen signed 3Mr. Hurd, (Mrs. Brown's father), called to see his child and was Daniel Hall. 3Mrs. Roy Miller gave a very appropriate greeting and little Peggie Murphy, followed with a dance. 3Miss Lucille Spind- ler played Peggie's accorhpani- ment. Mrs. Arthur Lutz gave ;a reading, "As a Mother Looks 'At It" and 3M3ss Betty Clay alsd gave a reading? 3Mrs. Viola 3Lar- son, teacher in the 3L»di Plains school, accompanied Phyllis Hall and Ivanoe Spangler for 'a group of two dances. The five Kleuter girls, Virginia, Grace, Dora, Norine and Jane, sang and' Mrs. Edward Murphy accompanied them. Robert Kleuter gave a recitation. "As A Daughter 3Looks At It" by Margaret Finch was f oUowed by a group of two songs by Ivanoe Spangler accompanied by 3Mrs. Larson. Mary! 'Ann Groeb played an accordion solo and Mary Carol O'Neill favored with a beautifully executed dance' with Miss Spindler accompanying. The program was concluded with a group of solos by 3Mrs. Murphy. *; -Honor wais paid to 3Mrs. Richard Clark, the youngest mother present; Mrs. Julia Carven, "the oldest mother; 3M3ns. E.

After about three years Mr. Tanner bought'". out his partner and has conducted the business ever since, sticking to the truck. This truck has been a veritable store on wheels containing fruits, vegetables, meat and staple groceries. It has been a boon to many a housewife in the country who could not get to a shopping center during the week. Often in times of emergency, such as extra help in hayingi, etc. it has met the need of the farmer's wife. * During this time 3Mr. Tanner has had four trucks and he anticipates purchasing another next year. Last year -a new truck was purchased-—bigger and better than- its predecessor—and this year it was rebuilt and remodeled for changing needs. Work will start this week on one abroad and Holland in tulip time. This type of photography is a hobby from which »he derives much' pleasure. It is hoped to- have him in Saline, again to tell of some of his other trips to the far-away corners of the earth. 3Many lingered after the regular hour to further enjoy the array of pictures. H. A.

Telephones hummed, two other sisters were notified and arrived as soon as possible. The years are but a dream now and happy reunions have taken place each week end since.
