TRUMAN MORRISON
 TALKS OF SERVICE
Local Tire Man Has Shown Wonder full Increase Through Prompt
 Attention

Facts count, says Truman Morrison of the Crawford's Quick Tire Service popular for it's nine-t two telephone ser : vice. This company has forged ahead within the past few months, s chiefly through prompt attention, quick ser vice and treating everyone with ex- treme courtesy. This is the foundation and one of the policiesginstalled by' MT. Morrison. who has had wide ex- perience in dealing with the thousands of motorists of Jefferson county and, in fact, many throughout the state of Alabama.
 They represent one line of tires, the Firestone. They have standardized on these tires because they have enabled them to increase their sales, which shows that the tires must have some unusual value. This firm employs only experienced people who know the tire business and when an auto owner calls for service he gets it in hurry, just as he expects it.
 Our quick service wagons are all ways ready to answer calls. We have experienced tire men on each service wagon who make lightning changes of tires and tubes. No matter how far the distance, if you need a tire or tube you can expect us to reach you in short time and end all tire trou- bles. No matter what information you want about tires, call on us and we can answer you correctly, says MI. Morrison.
