than i scdate iaunt with Caswel Laddic

NEW FILLING STATION is
MODEL OF EXCELLENCE

Few people except those who have
Gently opened by Gudgel and Matney
for the purpose of distributing White
Eagle oil and gasoline, realize
what boon this station is to the
city.
The building is of Delta white
pressed brick, and the Workmanship
is all by Delta parties. This in
cludes carpenter work, brick work
painting and plumbing. J. D. Lawson
was the contractor, while the plumb
ing was done by Chas. Koehler. The
floor is cement and the roof is tar
slate.
The building is as nearly fireproof
as building can be made 1t is fur
nfshed with ladies' rest room,
clean, convenient and comfortable.
Here one will find rockers, reading
matter, lavatory and toilet articles
as desired, and the White Eagle com
pany invites ladies, especially coun.
try ladies and strangers, to be their
guests while in town.
The walls of the building are dull
white, with dark oak woodwork,
while all trimmings carry out the
red. white and black of the COM
pany's label. :.
The company carries a complete
line of lubricating oils. floor oils and
gasoline. A novel feature in this
connection is the measure which is
quart and pint milk bottles. In this
way the customer is assured of full
measure for his money.
