OVERLAND TELEPHONE
 CO. TRANSFER MADE

It is gratifying to the board of directors to think that the stock holders of the company have so we'll understood their intentions and appreciated their efforts in the stockholders behalf. Under the terms of the proposed sale, which was submitted to the Ari- zona Corporation Commission and was acceptable to them, the Mountain States Company ac- quires all right, title and interest in the business and physical prop critics of the company for an amount equal to S432, 900, agree ing to pay I5c per share for stock and 75c on the dollar for the bonds, first, however, paying the creditors of the company.
 As soon as the two companies agreed to this arrangement the matter was placed before the Cor poration Commission for its con sent. Immediately after having received same the requisite mo- tice was sent to the stockholders.
 It is evident that the stock and bondholders of the Overland Tele- phone & Telegraph Company are satisfied with the action of the board of directors and officers in selling to tbe Mountain States Company on the terms outlined above, for the reason that during the last two days there has been deposited in the Phoenix Bank and Trust Company, under the terms of the agreement, 227 bonds and 5000 shares of the capital stock of the company, this being more than 50 per cent of the out standing stock and bonds.
 Stockholders and bondholders who have not yet taken advantage of the terms offered are urged by the board of directors to deposit their stock and bonds at as early date as possible, that the sale may be consummated.

UNITED TIRE COMPANY
RETIRES AT A RETAILER

A radical change in selling policy
which Is of great importance to tire
dealers throughout the country has
just been announced by the United
States Tire company Formal notice
has been given that in the future no
automobile tires will be sold at retail
by this concern. Signs announcing
this fact already have been posted in
all Of the company's 26 branches locat-
ed in various cities from New York
to San Francisco, and the new order
becomes effective Immediately.
This voluntary retirement from the
retail field has been under considera-
ton by officers OF the company for a
long time. In finally declaring itself
out of the retail business the CON-
pany Selinquishes a profitable trade as
all Of its branches have done a big
business in dealing direct with the con-
sumer as is done by other tire con-
Germs. However, 1t was argued that
this business should rightfuIly go to
dealers in towns where these branches
are located, and the move was determ.
ined upon.
In making the announcement to the
trade the company states that it de
sires to show in a substantial way that
it appreciates the decidedly friendly
attitude that dealers have manifested
toward the United States tire line and
consequently are Withdrawing entirely
from the retail field.

Local Garage Gossip

Locals dealers this week had an ex-
cellent chance to show the worth of
their machines in bucking snow drifts,
and several of them took advantage of
il. The snow was packed so tightly
that there was little chance of bucking
a drift that came up TO the headlights,
but the other drifts were met and con-
quered by some. Mr.. Wray OF the Like
ly & Wray Automobile Sales company,
with headquarters at 513 Seventeenth
street was out in a Carter car early in
the week hunting for snow drifts, and
he says that he found all that he want
ed. He found snow on different streets
ranging from one to five feet in depth
The machine was run for some dis
lance in snow two feet deep, and then
several drifts three feet in depth were
bucked. The machine did not get en-
tirely through the drifts the first time,
but Mr.. Wray backed of in the car and
bucked them again.

In overhauling an automobile, cover

make a handy place to lay tools and
parts.
During the recent snow storm in Chi
cago a 60 horsepower seven-ton dump
truck was successfully adapted for use
as street cleaner by attaching a rath-
er large snow pillow to it's front. The
manner of attachment and the means
of obtaining leverage for raising and
lowering the pillow are ingenious. 1t is
claimed that the machine did as much
work as could have been accomplished
by $50 men with shovels in the same
time.
Quite often, through accident, the
front axle of an automobile is bent out

either necessary to remove 1t and place
