BIG REDUCTION ON
WINTER CAR WORK

The Wolf Point Machine Shop does
not intend to allow the other BUSH
ness institutions of the town to out
do them in the matter of price re-
auctions. Winter time is naturally
the quiet period for machine shop
work, while in the spring there is a
rush that is difficult to handle. In
order to keep their shop force at
work, this progressive firm offers to
do all work on automobiles that is
placed with them during December,
the work to be done any time during
the winter, at a discount from regu-
lar charges of SO 1-3 per cent. They
point out that this is a splendid OPP
p%ortunity for car owners to get their
cars overhauled, ready for use early
in the spring at a big saving. The
shop is well equipped to do all kinds
of machine work, including oxy-ace-
tylene welding in a skillful manner
