SHAW'S GARAGE
N. I. Shaw. Proprietor

The enterprise and genuine prog
the Imperial valley can perhaps be
suggested in no way better than by
pointing out the extraordinary num-
ber Of automobiles owned and operat-
ed hereabout 1t is pretty well rec
ognized, too, that local auto owners
are remarkably well posted concerning
the mechanism and proper care OF
their machines, and that they insist
that repair work be of the first order
Imperial Valley press., 1912-05-04

In the light of these facts, it is not
strange that Mr. y. r. Shaw should
have won early and marked success in
repair shop, located on the main street
opposite the Plaza
In addition to general repair work,
is also agent for the famous Day-Util-
ity, Oakland, Maxwell and Columbia

gram oil and lubricant. The garage
is up to date in every respect, and
has a capacity of eighteen cars.

Mr.. Shaw came to the valley some
four years ago, and during the eighteen
months he has conducted this business
the expertness of his workmanship and
the moderation of his charges have
won him large and profitable patron
age, and one that is constantly in
creasing.
Mr.. Shaw owns his own beautiful
residence in Brawley, and is ever
ready to put his shoulder TO the

tendency to boost his home city and

 "No state in the Union is de-

 making a greater amount of noise about their rich resources

 carrett Whiteside, a prominent
 Arkansas politician, at the New
 Willard. Arkansas, because che has not chosen to laud her.
 self, has been overlooked some what in the reports that come Eastward every day about the wonderful progress that is be- inp made in the West and South. west, but I venture to say that ! there is no state that is richer in resources, or offers better op- portunity to those who are look inc for farming land. There are thousands of acres in Arkansas that can be purchased proba ply cheaper than the much heralded farms of Iowa and Kansas, on which can be produced as fine a quality of staple products, in cluding fruit and vegetables, as can be grown in any other part of the country. It might be well iOr'us to do little advertising"
 Regarding politics, Mir. White side said that Speaker Clark ap- pears to be the favorite candi. date among the Democrats of Arkansas for the Presidency.
 The partisans of the Speaker are claiming that Arkansas will send an instructed delegation delegation to Baltimore" said Mr. Whiteside. II do not know whether this will be the case, but l believe, with others, that Arkansas will give a great ma iOrity for the Democratic candi.
