And why thousands of mothers have found a new time and trouble saver in Lee Whizit Play Suits for their children. The combination of the well known Hookless Fastener with the famous Lee features of materials and de- sign has produced the outstanding work and play clothing on the mar- ket. For years Lee has set the standard for virtually every worth- while improvement in work clothing. Lee was the first to manufacture a one-piece work suit, the famous 1 Lee Union-Alls. Lee has recently 1 developed startling improvements in work garment fabrics which have resulted in extra strength and longer wearing qualities. And now, by eliminating buttons, Lee has made another great improvement. For added comfort, for extra long wear, for speed, and for convenience, wear Lee Whizit Union-Alls, Over- alls or Play Suits. Make your own test of these remarkable new gar- ments that have already won the favor of thousands and thousands from coast to coast.

Famous trains with Timken-equipped journals are proving it. Gone is 88% of starting resistance! The cause of jerky, destructive starting is eliminated. So is the risk of hot boxes and the need for constant lubrication. Furthermore, Timken Bearings have the supreme endur- ance which provides for all the battering thrust and weight of flanged steel wheels racing over steel curves, frogs and switches. For all load from all directions is equally well handled by the exclusive combination of Timken tapered construction, Timken POSITIVELY ALIGNED ROLLS and Timken-made electric steel.
