yer, Bristol, Sam Aston, of Lebanon,
and Carl Thomas, of Bristol, chaffuer,
arrived here IN a Case automobile on

service performed-the trip from Bris-
tol via Abingdon, Lebanon and Cleve-
land to Honaker being made on eight
gallons of gasoline and quart of lubri-
eating oil. Mr.. Allen, who is agent for
Southwest Virginia and Eastern Tennes-

penhaver is of the firm of Copenhaver
Bros, of Bristol, who are the local
agents in Bristol for the Case machine.

yer, of the Cove. Mr.. Aston, of Leba-
non, is, of course, well known here.
