Rugh Eugene Pearson.


in remembrance of Rugh Eugene
Pearson, who died at the family res
idence. 3O28 A. Street, Lincoln, Neb.
at 3 80 a. m, Tuesday, Oct. 3. 1918
Rugh was born at Fairfield, Neb.
Jan. 2, 1898, and was 20 years, $
months and 6 days old. lie was a
grandson of N r. Rugh of Detroit,
and spent much of his youth there
where he attended school. Many
young friends Of this community are
saddened by his death.
1t was striking coincidence that
on Tuesady morning, Oct. . at 8 a.
m, came his classification card put
ting him in class la and he would
have gone to serve his country brave
ly, periodically and well
Rugh was a boy loved by all and
especially devoted TO his mother and
she in remembrance of the boy, she
so dearly loved, has written the fol
lowing:
There's a vacant place in our home
today,
For God has taken our boy away
He has taken him home to dwell with
Him,
Away from this world of sorrow and
sin.
We miss him so much, every hour Of
the day;
But we can't feel his spirit is far
away,
And we know God calls all his chill
dren home,
And He'll never let Rugh from his
mansion roam.
We know when on earth, he did so
much good;
He'd always smile and kind word
when he could,
And his enemies, all friends, he sure
ly did make,
And the advantage of no man he
never did take.
But he just trod along with his bright
happy way,
And everyone loved him, his friends
all will say;
But the death angel came and took
Rugh by the hand,
And he went with smile to that far
away land.
Uncle Sam had just called him, this
great war to fight;
His card came in the morning, but
God thought it not right,
SO he called Rugh to Heaven a few
hours before
Uncle Sam left his card at our own
cottage door.
Though we feel that God struck us
an awful hard blow,
When he called for His army, the boy
we loved so;
We know that he's gone from this
worlds heavy strife,
To dwell there with God in that Heav-
emily life.
Where sorrow and pain be will ne'er
know again,
For God takes care of His soldiers as
no one else can;
And we hope when this life for us
here is complete,
And God calls us home at the, Rugh,
Wen meet.
And the same pleasant smile on his
face we will see,
For there with the angels he surely
viii be;
To welcome us home with God to
dwell.
And he'll say when he sees us, God
doeth things we'll"

KISSEL TRUCK

Continued from Preceding Page) other lines, the Kissel truck is de- signed not to sell fact, but to satisfy those who buy it. Quantity production and sensational sales were not thought of; for the Kissel company has ad- hered to it's policy of keeping old GUS toners and catering to the practical minded truck user, rather than at tracting new customers and losing them
 The Kissel truck is among many American trucks which have rendered valiant service to the country during the war. Large numbers of Kissel trucks have seen service in France hard service, too,-and they have made a gallant showing under conditions for which no truck has ever been designed. Large government orders for trucks have been filled by the Kissel com- pany, more or less to the detriment of their regular trade. but now the war IS over the Kissel truck will be back again in full supply.
 The George H. Reuben Auto com pany of this city holds the state agen- cy for Kissel trucks, with Kissel cars and other products. The Kissel truck, like the firms ears, was practically unknown when Mir. Reuben first es- tablished his company, but now it is an exceedingly popular truck in this state. It has been tried under all con- ditions for almost all conceivable uses, and has neved been found wanting.
 The Kissel truck comes in almost all sizes. up to five tons, and can. be equipped for any special or general business use. It is the full product of the Kissel company. and needs no fur tPer warrant.

Real Service Department
 Is Most Important Part Of
 George H. Reuben Company

The shop, the service and repair shop, is one of the most i'm portant parts of the George H. Reuben Auto company, and is recognized as such. To the shop belongs the credit for keeping the cars and trucks sold by the company in a condition to sat- isfy the owners.
 Mir. Reuben has taken the very sen sible view that if his salesmen sell the cars his mechanics keep them going. One of the features of his business is keeping customers The sales depart ment of the Reuben company gets the customers; the service department keeps them.
 In all the west it is hard to find a service department that equals that of the Reuben Auto company. Completely equipped, manned by expert mechan- ics who think of the firm as a part of themselves and their lives, it is the welcome standby of every Kissel and Dort and Federal owner in the state.
 The Reuben service department oc- cupies the spacious shop in the rear of the Reuben quarters at 235 North Central avenue It is a complete repair and service station, with all the ma chinery required to keep motor cars in perfect conditions. It is stocked with an ample supply of spare parts for Kissel and Dort cars and Kissel and. Federal trucks, and repair service is further expedited by a 24-hour de- livery system from the Kissel house in Los Angeles, where parts seldom used, and therefore not always kept on hand are obtained.
 MT. Reuben makes it a point, how ever. to do only Kissel, Dort and Fed | eral work in his shop. That is to say his service and repair department vii 1 take care of only cars and trucks O the makes handled by the ReubeI firm. There is plenty of work of thi. kind to keep the shop busy, and MT Reuben thinks it unfair to his custom
 CTS to have his repair service working

money, two things that are of import ance in the shop.
 The Reuben shop is fortunate in hay ing at it's head Mir. Bert Banbury, known variously as "Kissel Bert" be- cause he prefers to work on cars of that make, and also as Genial Bert" a name bestowed by his customers be- cause of the courtesy and satisfaction he accords them.
 Mir Banbury is a California product. He has lived in that state the greater part of his life, being born there in 1883. He was educated on the coast, and has been following his present profession almost as long as he can remember-that is, ever since the mo- tor car business started.
 MT. Banbury entered the motor car game in 1902, and recalls some very interesting experiences with the one and two cylinder models of that time. He has followed the game ever since, and has taken special mechanical courses in some of the best known au- tomobile schools on the coast.
 After seeing service with many oi the foremost motor concerns in Cali fornia, MT. Banbury came to Phoenix 1 two years ago and joined the Reuben i forces. Before doing so, however, he 1 determined to stay with Kissel cars as 1 long as he could, and he is firm in his | belief that it is the only real car, al- though he can be made to confess thu l Dort is the best car in the world fol
 it's size and weight. This determine | tion he has kept steadily, although since coming here he has had severa most attractive offers. But he has re
 fused them all, preferring to remain il
 his present position with his own fav'
 orite cars.
 Mir. Banbury has brought his de partment of the Reuben company int an almost unbelievable state of ef ficiency. Under his care it has be
 come popular and satisfying to tn J hundreds of people who use it. Tn

A Word For
 The Future

In celebration of its third anniver- sary as one of the leading motor car agencies of Phoenix, the George H. Reuben Auto company takes this oc- casion to say a word in regard to the future.
 AS in the past, the Reuben Auto company will make its sole policy that of satisfyingits customers. Courtesy and honesty will remain its chief busi- ness principles. Like the great motor companies it represents, and whose products it handles, it will always aim to achieve the utmost in quality and service, and let the less responsible firms do the sensational bargain sell ing for their less worthy products.
 Efficiency will remain the motto of the firm. It will see that the cars and trucks it sells render efficient service at the smallest cost. It will see that those who patronize it are given the very utmost in service and quality and it will see that it's customers are treated fairly in every way.
 In short, the Reuben Auto company promises that in the future "satisfac- tion to the customer will be the con- panys sole endeavor, as in the past and wishes to it's friends and patrons A Happy Christmas and Prosperous

with a banking house in Chicago. A large part of the time he has spent in this state. has been in the real estate business, although he has had consid- erable experience in selling motor cars.
 Just before taking up his duties as head of the Reuben sales department in October, MT. Holmes took an extensive trip through the east
 MT. Holmes has made an enviable record since assuming control of MT. Reuben's expert staff of sa1esmen, and the high state of efficiency in his de- partment is contributed to by every member of his staff. Both he and his staf fare firm believers in the honesty first, courtesy second, plan. and their policy has been proved successful in their sales. But then, as MT. Holmes says:
 It's easy to sell cars when you know what you are selling"
Arizona republican., 1918-12-25

chief assets. Courtesy, promptness and the high grade of the work done have combined to make up his achiev- ments. For in addition to satisfying his customers personally, Mir. Ban bury sees to it that none but the very highest standards of work are done in his shop.
 Mir. Banbury is always delighted to have kissel and Dort and Federal own- CTS ask him questions; he is always glad to be able to help them in some little or big point in regard to operat- ing their cars.
 Second to MT. Babury in the service department comes Al Edwards, quiet young man from Colorado who personi- fies the ideals MT. Banbury demands in his business. MT. Edwards is "A years old, and was a live stock man before he took up mechanics at the mechani- cal and agricultural college at F.a Louis, Colo. Since then he has worked in his chosen line in various places and with various firms, and always has made an enviable record. He has been in this state three years, and with the Reuben company some time. At the present time MT. Edwards and MT. Banbury, with the help of T. Bobo, a colored mechanic of no mean ability, are running the Reuben ser vice department alone. With work in the shop for six men, they do it by themselves and think nothing of it. For it is impossible to get more meE l for the shop and get the kind that the i character of the service demands, nd until the right men can be had they l prefer to do without.
 Although the shop is supposed to close at 5: 30 o'clock Bert and "Al' generally work until the work is com- pleted, because they like it and take an interest in it. And, for the same reason, they are never unwilling to get out of bed at midnight and go far into the country for a stalled Kissel or Dort, to tow it in and fix it up, if MT.
 Reuben asks it.
 This is the sort of shop the George
 H. Reuben Auto company has. It is a worthy part of worthy organization.

DORT CAR

; Continued from Preceding Page.) boasts is Once Dort owner, always a Dort follower
 The Dort is a small, moderately priced motor car, designed for people who do not want a large, expensively operated automobile. It comes in all the standard models, touring, road ster, sedan and coupe, with an added exclusive model, the four season se- danette
 The George N. Reuben Auto com pany has now held the Dort agency since 1917, and with it found the Dort car well worth while. The trim little car has been well received in Arizona, and is living up to it's name in every respect.
 Some idea of the hold the Dort has taken on motorists may be gained from the following verses, which might well have been written by an Arizona Dort owner:
 Practical Motoring All persons of practical mind To drive lighter cars are inclined, And are liking them, too, For they find they will do As well as the gas-hungry kind.
 E According to common report, That trim little auto, the Dort, Is not only nifty, | But rugged and thrifty For sensible folks just the sort. In comfort as well as in thrift You'll like it so well you won't shift The quality true It sure goes clear through" It's sturdy and nimble and swift

ever, he has had a career longer and more interesting than many men of twice his age can boast
 MT. Watson has lived in the west five years, and prior to that time had already broken into them otor car game with the Cadillac company of Atlanta, Ga. Before settling down as a sales man with the Reuben Auto company he was travelling salesman out of Fl Paso. The change to selling motor cars was effected without difficulty, thanks 10 MT. Watson's previous eN- perience in that line.

trucks. MT. Reoben made this move carefolly, adhering to his policy of selling only the best grades of all mo- tor products. The Federal truck has lived up to his best expectations.
 As in every other part of the coun- try the Federal truck has proved itself a valuable adjunct to almost every line of business in Arizona. Farm and orchard products are marketed in it, mines use it extensively, and even on the ranch it is a source of constant utility.
 The Federal motor truck comes in all sizes from one to five tons. It can be equipped with any body for any use, is remarkably easy and cheap of operation, and if need. be will stand "A hours use every day under almost any conditions It is in truth a motor truck par excellence.

 Mrs. Ashley has taken an interest in her new Arizona home since coming here, and is a member of a number Of civic organizations.
