 J. L. Davidson, a man of wide ex- perience in production. produced the Jordan car. while F. G. Tyler, an ex- pert accountant, took charge of the recording division.
 The model chassis was finished and the body chosen. The design estab- lished new standard of custom style beauty among medium priced cars.
 I took the first car and drove it over 5000 miles,
 Never before did I realize what high grade standard units meant. Never before did I realize how unwise it is to try and build a better motor than Continental. a better axle than Tim ken, a better starting and lighting system than Blur, better system of ignition than Bosch. The car made a perfect score, and success was assured Dealers Want Jordan
 The dealers heard of the Jordan They came in great numbers to see this car Our policy provides for a small group of large distributors in control of important territories. Our aim was to deliver in accordance with our agreements, allow a fair profit to the dealer, and show performance. We made good To their customers we offered exquisite beauty of line and finish. rare comfort, unquestioned re- liability and performance.
 More than 300 dealers made appl- cation. The care and caution with which Jordan dealers were selected has become the talk of the industry.
 Any dealer to get the Jordan had to qualify. We took a long look at his past. If he did not measure up to Jordan standards, he could not do business The more rigid we were the more we attracted the best caliber of men in the business.
 Nationwide endorsement has been given the Jordan by the livest, most widely experienced and most impor- tant dealers in America. Everybody knows each Jordan in his locality. Dealers told me why they wanted the Jordan. They had been handling other cars Their salesmen came to them and said:
 "Why don't we have optional, colors like the Jordan?'
 "Why don't we have Bosch high ten sion ignition?'
 Why don't we have the Jordan finish?"
 why don't we have a. 4S-inch real seat?"
 why don't we have Marshall cush. ion springs?"
 'eWhy don't we have Blur starting and lighting?"
 "Why don't we have a motometer?"
 "Why don't we have the Jordan spring suspension?'
 Why don't we have hand-buffei leather, French pleated?"
 Why don't we have a dozen othel things that the Jordan has and sell: at a medium price?"

BILL RUNS
AMUCk!
By Judd Lewis in Houston Post

Bill Beezer got a can of paint and
said In language queer and quaint, "By
jing, before I put this down I'd like to
paint the hull derned town! I just
amt got no better sense than to spread
paint on every fence, if I could do it,
and by gum, I guess that would be 60
ing some! And 1 would paint the
house white, and all the chimneys red !
I'd write my name on this here dingy
town today before the sun went down,
and make the hull place look brand
new, if I could that is what I'd do!
Just n good brush, and some good
paint, makes a place look what it
amt; it covers up the bad spots and
improves a place to beat the band"
Bill Beezer said in language quaint,
then he got busy with his paint; he
painted fences front and back, he
painted up the servants shack, he
painted up the wash house, too, gave
the woodshed a coating new, daubed
paint upon the chicken coop, each
place a Ia could climb or stoop Bill
climbed and stopped, and spread q
coat of paint that got his neighbours
goat. And so his neighbor got a can
and painted his shack like a man, and
then his next-door neighbor got some
paint and got to work, and what Bill
Beezer started spread so fast, and
spread so far, that at the last the
whole derned town which had looked
mean was painted and looked fresh
and clean. And when Bill put his
bucket down he had put paint on the
whole town. He had done wonders
with his can. I hope you're a Bill
BeeZer man.

THE VALUE OF PAINT

Paint, as has often been said, serves
more than the mere purpose Of deco
ration. It's principal value lies in the
fact that it prolongs the life of the
surfaces painted. Wood and iron, on
exposure to the air, undergo a slow
process Of oxidation which just as
surely destroys them as though they
were set on fire, the difference being
the speed at which the reactions occur.
We take out insurance to cover loss
by fire and should just as surely put
on paint to cover loss by decay. 1t
takes very little calculation to discover
the apparently astounding fact that
the loss through lack Of painting is
greater than the loss by fire. When

Clean Up the Place

Files are q pest that can be con
trolled If you will practice a few pre-
ventive measures.
A. Haul out and spread the manure
once a week.
B. Treat the manure with borax OF
white hellebore to kill the maggots and
eggs.
l. Borax is sprinkled over the ma
nure at the rate of ten ounces to
eight bushels of manure Pour two or
three gallons Of water over the manure
after the borax has been added. This
will cause the borax to be carried into
the manure. Be sure and sprinkle the
outer edges, for this is where the mag
gots gather before going into the next
stage Of development.
2. Dissolve one-half pound Of white
hellebore in ten gallons of water and
sprinkle thoroughly over the manure
3. If it is inconvenient to remove the
manure each week, it may be treated
with the borax and hellebore in the
stables. Calculate the amount Of ma.
nure in stable and use them in the
same proportion as above.
4. Make or buy fytraps early in the
season and use them all the time dur
ing the fly season.

THE DEAD ONE

The bane of any community is the

democracy, absence of this interest

Illness, thrift and civic pride are the
essentials by which they may satisfy
