THE STANTON STUDIO 261/9 South Fountaine Ave. Springfield, Ohio Phone C. 2557-W for an Appoin!ment NOW PHOTOGRAPHS TELL THE STORY Firestone, Ford, Edison, and Burroughs were touring through West Virginia. A light on their car went bad, and they stopped at a little crossroads store. Mr. Ford went into the store to make the purchase. "What kind of automobile lights do you have?" Ford asked. "Edison," replied the merchant. "I'll take one," said Ford. "And, by the way, Mr. Edison is out in my car." So?" said the merchant. When the light was put in it was found a new tire was needed,so Ford went back in the store and asked what kind of tires the merchant had. "Firestone," was the reply. "By the way, you may be interested to know that Mr. Firestone is out there in my car, and that I am Henry Ford." "So?" said the merchant and let drive a long squirt of tobacco juice against the wall. While the merchant was putting on the tire, Mr. Burroughs, who had long, white whiskers, leaned out of the car and said,"Good morning, sir." The merchant looked up at him with a grin full of sarcasm and said: "If you try to tell me you are Santa Claus I'll be darned if I don't crown you with this wrench."
