Has Made Success.
w. &. Jackson has made a big
success of his business here during
the last four years. Almost seven
years ago he took the Ford agency
and located at Ennis to handle the
business in the county. He did but
a very little with the agency dur
ing the first three years stay there
so he moved to Waxahachie. II
seemed that only a move was nee
essary to start something. He had
no sooner located in Waxahachie
than business began to pick up, and
lit has grown by leaps and bounds
during the last four years until it
has reached proportions too huge for
one man to look after, hence the
formation of the company.
During the four years in business
here Mr.. Jackson erected very
fine garage, costing perhaps $780,
000, he also built nice home, all
out of the proceeds of the agency of
the Ford One feature of bis sue
cess is the service he has given all
asong. He began here years ago to
give service and he has kept it up
all along even though his business
has been very extensive. The night
has never been too dark and the
clouds too threatening but what
Jackson's garage would send after
Ford when trouble overlook ii.
Having builded a large business on
a foundation of service Mr.. Jackson
feels that it will stand the test OF
time.
The new men associated with Mr..
Jackson are well known business
men They may not know the auto
mobile business better than any
other fellow. but under the careful
tutorage of w. b. Jackson they will
soon round out into fine form. They
have the best wishes of a large cir
