Importance of First Job The only important thing about a first job is that it be a chance to do honest work. Don't wait till what you're fitted for offers. Don't bother about the pay. Above all, don't worry wor-ry over the effect of the job on your social position. Get a leg to stand on. Get a place to stand the leg. The only standpoint from which you can get a view of a job that suits you is a job that you suit. Finally, don't listen to good-luck stories. Derivation of 'Tobacco' Tobago, in the British West Indies, In-dies, is said to have been named by Christopher Columbus, who saw in its shape the resemblance to the smoking pipes of the Caribs and called by them "tobagos." It is from that word that the English word "tobacco" was derived. Needles Made of Stone Stone needles having an eye at one end have been found among the relics of the Stone age. Delicate needlework was produced by the Egyptians and ancient Greeks, and both common and surgeons' needles were found in the ruins of Pompeii.

There's a whale of a temptation to play it safe, to coast along a while, when you're riding such a vote of confidence as we've had this year. We had ample evidence from the start that our past season's good Buick was the life of the 193S party. Right through the darkest months it paced the industry in sales, setting a bright example that shone like a sudden sun smiling through the rain. I5ut itching in our heads and on our drawing boards were ideas.

Ideas that wouldn't stand still that budded, burgeoned, flowered full into gorgeous new beauty of line and form and action. Ideas that promised to re-pattern motor car design for, the next half decade or more! Now, the price of progress is daring to make good things better even if you've got a winner to start with. Buick's whole come-back has been based on that. We couldn't refuse to climb while empty rungs on the ladder beckoned us up! So the life of the party now looks it. And you'll see a Buick for 1939 of very different pattern, a car fit to fix the fashion for many a long year to come. EXEMPLAR OF GENERAL MOTORS VALUE Taylor Taylor ftlot or Company KAMAS, UTAH i l |
