Are You A Betting Fan Who
Is Looking For a A Sure Thing?
If ever anyone offers to bet you
that he can drive a golf ball 600
yards, or toss a paper match in
the air so that it lands edgewise,
brother, don’t bet him. Because ha
certainly can.
And if ever a hatcheck girl tells
you that you can’t jump over yow
hat if she puts its on the floor,
don’t bet on that either. Becatllt
you certainly can't.

poll,” says an article in the March

"more than fifty million of the
country’s adults bet on some-
thing at least once every six
months ... No bet is more popu-
lar and intriguing than the ‘sure
thing,’ wherein each party is con-
vinced he can’t possibly lose.”
The author of the article, which
is titled, ‘Twenty Ways to Win a
Bet,” warns readers that “this will
tel! you how to perform minor
miracles so you can win wagers
and lose friends.”
And here are some examples.
Your golfing friend will win ev-
ery time—if he tees off from the
edge of a frozen lake. And that
paper match if first bent into a
V, will always land on its edge.
It doesn’t tuke a hatcheck girl to
keep you from jumping over your
hat on the floor. All it takes is
someone who knows enough to put
the luit in the corner of a room.
“There are some bets,” says the
author, “which you can win by
losing. You casually mention that
it is extremely difficult to stand a
quarter on its edge. When some-
one bets lie can do it, you reply,
‘All right. I’ll give you a nickel
for every quarter you can stand
on edge!’ The more quarters he
balances, the better, provided they
are his own quarters. You simply
pick them up and give him a nickel
for each quarter, which is exactly
what you promised to do!"
Texas 1-H members last year
exhibited about 22,000 head of
livestock and poultry at 212 live-
stock shows and fairs.

\ \ New 1950 Servel Gas Refrigeru
tors are a hit because more and
more shoppers are comparing
both types. You, too, should com
pare both types Ask, "How long will it last? Will it grow
noisy?" Then compare guarantees. Only Servel is guaran
teed 10 years because it freezes with no moving parts. No
motor, no machinery to wear out.
Then compare price. See how much more you get for
your money with Servel Gas Refrigerator. You’ll do like
over three million smart shoppers did when they compared.
You’ll choose Servel, the Gas Refrigerator.
