Kimberly-Glark's "fast draw" delivery iust prevented another hold-up in Abilene

Meanwhile, back at the branch ' ,

Kimberly-Clark delivers faster because we get orders produced and rolling fasteg ...thankstoahighly eff icient, com puterized order-processing and manufacturing operation.

Our location, on the SP mainline and lnterstate 5, speeds things up, too. Lets us load and ship days sooner. (Like overnight delivery to California markets, for example.) And once an order's on the road we don't forget it. Traffic experts "ride shotgun" on every shipment-to Abilene or anywhere in the country-guarding against transit delays; making certain your lumber and millwork arrive on schedule. lf poor delivery schedules have got you under the gun, give it some thought. Maybe your brand should be KC.

BINSON CRUSOE was the original optimist. Things looked bad for the old boy, but he didn't kick or whimper. Crusoe used his head. He studied the situation all over, and then he said, "I have it-I'll advertise!"

Think of it! He was a thousand miles from nowhere. The possible readers of his ad were only a few every several years. It was hard times, money depression, bad condi:ions, all rolled into a lump. But Crusoe didn't let that stop him. He flung his shirt at the top of a pole, on the highest point of his island.

His first ad brought no returns. But he didn't quit advertising. Not Robinson. He changed the "copy." Put up another shirt. And he kept on doing it. And finally he got a ship-by persistent advertising.

A janitor got a job around a college observatory. One night he noticed a fellow get under the big telescope, change its line several times, finally glue his eye to the glass-and just then a star fell.

t'Mister," he said, "I thought I'd seen me some gunmen in my time, but I nevah knew there was anybody in your class."

"Fools ask questions that wise men cannot answer," said the teacher.

"That," said little Johnny, "must be why I failed in my exams."

A farmer brought some produce to the city and sold it. Thought he, "I'll surprise my wife." So he bought a suit of clothes, a hat and a pair of shoes and put them under the back seal. On the way home he stopped at the river, took ofi his old clotles and threw them in.

Then he looked under the seat for his new clothes. They were gone! Finally he climbed into the buggy and said, "Giddap! We'll surprise her anyhow."

Here Comes The Judge

"Prisoner, have you anything to say before you are sentenced?"

"Only this, your honor. That I'd be mighty sorry if the lawyer you assigned me was ever called upon to defend an innocent man.t'

Two little boys in Atlanta were discussing the arrival of a new baby in the neighborhood. One of them said, "The stork brought a baby in there this morning."

The other said. "Stork nuthin! It was the milkman. There he goes now and it says on his wagon, 'Families furnished every day and twice on Sundays.'"
