A farmer strolled into a motor sales hduse. \What's that worth?\ he ask ed, pointing to a small car. \Five hundred dollars,\ was 'the reply. \And that?\ pointing to a better car. \Seven hundred and fifty dollars.\ \And that there one?\ pointing to a seven passenger with a jerk of his thumb. •\That 1s a fine care and is worth $1,200.\ \I'll take it\ said the farmer. \The car is cash, you know,\ said the salesman. \Yes I go the money,\ said the farmer, as he pulled a roll of bills out of his pocket, peeled off twelve $100 bills and paid for the car. \Now you'll show me how to drive the crIV ter? r ' \Sure said the salesman; \that's a part of the sale.\ ' • So they started ou t and, after go ing three miles, overtook a man in a wagon with a mule team. The sales man tooted and hnnked and honked and tooted, but the man with the mules refused to heed.
