North Carolina Giant
Miles Dnrden, who was I Kirn to
North Carolina, in 179R, and died lo
Harden county, Tennessee, January 2??,
lSf>7. was the world's biggest man,
claims the North Carolina Historical
Review. He was 7 feet 6 inches tall
and weighed a little more than 1,000
ponnds.
Thirteen and a half yards of cloth
nne yard wide were required to make
him a rout. When he died 24 yards
of black velvet were needed to cover
the sides and Hd of bis coffin. This
was S feet long, only 1 inch less than
ft feet deep and was 32 inches broad.
Miles Darden lived a quiet, unevent-
ful life: apart from bis world record
Hire he seems to have been a hard
working, ordinary man.

Greatest Sensation of
America's Greatest Industry
Again', Chevrolet has created an auto-
mobile so far beyond all expecta-
tions in the low-price field that it
' institutes the greatest achievement
of America's greatest industry.
Built on a 4-inch longer wheelbase—
offering numerous improvements in
performance, beauty and safety—
the Bigger and iietter Chevrolet
marks a spectacular epoch in the
development of luxurious trans-
portation at low cost.
The engine is of improved valve-in-
head design with alloy "invar strut"
pistons . . . hydro-laminated cam-
shaft gears... mushroom type valve
tappets ... AC oil filter ... AC air
cleaner and a new crankcase breath-
ing system.
Throughout the entire car similar
advancements are represented—
from the four-inch longer wheelbase
and the new semi-elliptic shock
absorber springs—84% of the
wheelbase, to the marvelously
beautiful new Fisher bodies in new
Duco colors.
Come in and drive this great new
car. Drive it through traffic—and
get the thrill of its darting pick-up
... the smooth, certain action of its
non-locking four-wheel brakes!
Drive it on the open road—and test
every point in the speed range for
smoothness and roadability! Try it
on the hills—and learn the true
meaning of Chevrolet power!
Do that—and you will agree with
thousands of others that here is the
world's most luxurious low-priced
automobile.

WHY WIDOWS ARE THE SPECIAL
PREY OF CONFIDENCE MEK
By W. R. MOREHOUSE
Public Relations Commission, American Bankers Association
^^"OMEN are often easy victims for the high-pressure pro-
* moter. Widows are especially sought out by the con-
fidence men. Even before their deceased husbands, protector*
and counselors are buried the wolves of
n^if ^ -finance are waiting outside their doors.
They know the defenseless widows will be*
easy prey. Many a woman today is penni-
less as a result of making poor investments.
Getting rich quick" for the widow without
investment experience is in reality getting
poor quick. Once a sharp promoter gets
the confidence of a rich widow he has &-
Bonanza" as he calls it. Eventually he
gets the estate and the widow gets the ex-
perience. Widows with estates should ba-
on guard every minute. They are marked'
persons, with promotion crooks hot on their
trail. The best thing that every woman in-
vestor can do is to consult her banker before
investing.

is true in the field of finance. There is that
