But somehow, in the printing bus
iness, even when a man wants a big
job In an unreasonably short time,
we still think that he's doing us a
favor by bringing us work to do.
That's why we are In business to do
work for people and we can't imag
ine ourselves growling at the man
who wants to give us money. The
Chadron- automobile men, however,
are built of sterner stuff. They have
plenty to do, and if a man persuades
them to do a Job for him, he meets
with a gruffnes and manner that
makes him yearn to tell the fellow to
hit it for a hotter climate, pronto.
As we said, we limped into Chad

garage In sight, and they told us
they were frightfully busy and re
commended a tire repair shop down
the line. It pleased us to think
there was a specialist who did noth

we moseyed along In that direction.
When we got there, the door was
locked. A garage was next door, and
we inquired there. This fellow said
