SERVICE IS BY.WORD
FOR PAXTON COMPANY

In this day and age there Is no one
word in the English language more
widely misused than the noun service,
according to H. o. Albert Of the Pax
ton Auto company, local distributors
for the famous Racine country road
tires. He does not hesitate to declare,
however. that every Tom, Dick and
Harry in the business world. plasters
the word over his door regardless Of
whether his methods OF transacting
business warrant its use.
I'VE believe 1t to be our duty to
see that the Racine county road tires
we sell give true service to the pur-
chaser. The transaction is not ended
when the customer lays down his mon
ey or tenders his check Instead. it
has only begun.

chine with one two. three or four Ra-

with each sale. and to see that every

right up to the limit.

Mae Murray In "To
Have And To Hold

Mae Murray, the beautiful Las
ky star, will make her photOdra-
matte debut in the picturized ver-
sion of Mary Johnson's famous |
novel, "To Have and to Hold" the
thrilling romance of the early Col |
onial days in Virginia, at the
Opera House on Monday, August
Is, supported by Wallace Reid and
an all-star cast. 1t is Paramount
Picture.
Miss Murray is an artist of un
usual talent, beauty and person
ality. Prior to her engagement
for number of years in the Las
ky Company, Miss Murray's time
was devoted to the speaking stage.
She finally consented to appear in
a short comedy and this was no
sooner projected on the screen
than all the leading motion picture
producers in the country sought
her services, her personality and
charm being so appealing. She
was finally secured by the Lasky
Company and is is expected that
her appearance in the photodra-
matte world will create sensa-
tion.
In "To Have and to Hold" Miss
Murray will be seen as Lady Joce-
lyn Leigh, ward of King James,
the First, of England. who fees to
America to escape an undesirable
marriage. How her loveless mar
! riage upon her arrival in the Col
onies brings about a series of ex-
citing adventures, must naturally
be seen to be enjoyed.
Wallace Reid, the distinguished
Lasky star, plays the role of Cap
tain Ralph Percy, a gentleman
adventurer in Jamestown.
Others in the cast are Tom For
man, Raymond Hatton, James
Neill, Lusien Littlefeld, r. Brad
bury and Robert Fleming.
The production of "To Have and
to Hold is unusual in it's magni-
ticence and one of the most lavish
ever made by the Lasky Company,
two large sailing vessels being
built especially for the produc-
ton, one of which is wrecked at
the height of a wild storm.
The photography is of the usual
Lasky excellence. ADV.
