n. c. Booth. manager of the Quick
Tire service. declares that Fl PasO mo-
toristis want nothing but the very best
in the way of tires When man gets
a car he wants class and he is will
ing TO concede a few things to get just
wants he wants." said Mr. Booth
We carry a complete line of United
States tires i'm the regular treads.~
continued the tire man. but when the
Royal cords were introduced we did
not anticipate that there would be an
unusually heavy demand for this tire
and We were caught rather short for a
time
The durability OF this tire was shown
in the recent record round trip run be
tween San Francisco and New York
when Ralph Milford and other drivers
established some new time records
They used ROYAL cords on this trip and
reported no tire trouble OF any kind.
That settled II for the dOubterS
They came pouring in after ROYAL
cords Wei. I'm ready for them now
We have stocked up with as complete
a line Of cords as we carry on the
fabric tires. so let 'em pour"

use without stopping to consider that
this may be as ridiculous as TO put on

Bush that she had made no effort to
defraud the state by not probating the
estate Of her husband. This was one
of the cases called into court by G. III.

of the fact that the persons deceased
had been dead over year, and their
estates had not been brought into pro.

necessary.
Mrs. Perry showed to the court that
her husband left her practically moth

She also showed that she has to take
boarders to make living. Judge Bush
accepted the explanation and ordered
the matter dismissed.
