the value of these trucks brings'
in a good deal of tax money, both
in direct taxes and in license fees.
Although the majority of these
Lee County trucks are operated by
the owners themselves on their
farms and in their own business,
there are 514 persons in Lee County-
who hold a job as operator of such
a truck for the owner. The wages
of these 514 truck drivers amount,
to $2,140,269 per year. This repre-
sents an average salary of $4163
42 per person.

Without Surgery
Stops Itch—Relieves Pain
For the first time science has found
a new-healing substance with the as-

statements like "Piles have ceased to

healing substance (Bio-Dyne®)—dis

. able in suppositary or ointment form
—called Preparation H®. At all drug
counters.
