concerning battery troubles after the
battery has been installed.
The lines worked out by the fac

to use the salient good points of the
wet battery combined with an abso-

the dry cell. Although the wet bat

The Mac Dry battery aims to be

points of the two and does away with
the bad features of both.

BoUSE. April ga special ses-
sion of the Bouse Commercial club
was held Thursday evening and was
well-attended. The following reso-
lutions were presented by Robert II.
Williams, and were unanimously
passed by the club:
Be it Resolved, by the Bouae Com
mercial Club of Bouse, Arizona, that:
we earnestly call upon the people
of Arizona to realize the magnitude
of the issues now at stake in connec-
ton with the proposed development
of the Colorado river.
We favor the early construction of
both the Glen Canyon and the Boul-
der Canyon dams by the federal gov
ernment under some plan that will
retain the operation of the dams and
reservoirs under permanent federal
control.
We earnestly protest to the United
states reclamation service against the
adoption of any plan for the Boulder
Canyon dam that would De prejudicial

high line canal from the reservoir.
We urge a complete investigation

concern still uses from so to 40 per
cent of the factory's output.
In 1915 Mr.. Pepperdine started a
store in Denver, and at the same
time made trip to California, where
he saw great opportunities for addi-
tional stores. Early in 1916 he moved
to California with his family. and
since then has established and now
controls 45 more stores on the Paci-
fic coast, the National Auto Supply
company of Chicago, and an interest
in the Kansas City corporation oper-
ating stores in Kansas City, st. Paul
and Dallas.
The success OF branch stores in
any line of business depends largely
upon the initiative and integrity OF
branch managers. The managers in
charge of the Western Auto Supply
company stores have all been trained
in the business, and Mr.. Pepperdine
attributes the greater part of the
success of his stores to these men.
In the fall of 1918 the trade char
acter Saving sam" came into being
and this little smiling trade charac-
ter has proven to be one of tiS most
attractive and interesting trade
marks used in connection with the
automobile business. The copyright
SAVING S1lQ Is COtlS1QCl S0 a 4ilO6S
valuable asset and personifies the
spirit of the whole Western Auto Sup
ply company of Service and Saving
with a Smile.''
The backbone Of the Western Auto
Supply company is the man order
catalogue which has been built up
and improved upon step by step.
These catalogues reach car owners in
every part of the western states.
Mail orders are received at the aver
age rate of 1000 per day in all stores
combined. Approximately 100000
catalogues have been mailed since
the first store was started.
When one considers that the West
ern Auto Supply Agency was started
with a capital of $5 and is today
under the name of the Western Auto
Supply company. doing a business
well over $5.000,000 a year, including
the Kansas City and Chicago COM
panies, it will be seen that the mo.
toring public has appreciated the
service this organization performs
for motorists which consists of
saving on tires, accessories and auto
supplies. and an ironclad guarantee
of satisfaction.

FIVE dollars and an idea was the
start OF what is today one of the
largest accessory businesses in the
world, the Western Auto Supply
company. This great concern oper-
ates total of As big, busy stores in
as many live and important cities OF
the west. The annual business done
by these stores aggregates more than
five million dollars, while the profits
of the business are distributed among
over 1900 stockholders, nearly all OF
which are in the west.
In 1909, when this enterprise was
started. the accessory business was
a new thing. AS the use OF the motor
car became gradually universal, the
need of dependable accessories kept
pace, until today this industry stands
well toward the front among the i'm
portant Industries OF the United
States
It is planned to continue the pro-
gram of expansion with an irnmedi-
ate goal of 100 stores and with a
yearly business nearly doubling that
of the present year.
The gradual growth of this organ
ization is an interesting story, the
recapitulation of which Will interest
all auto owners.
Early in 1909. George Pepperdine,
then 22 years old, a bookkeeper in
Kansas City, Mo, conceived an idea
that an auto accessory and tire busi-
ness could be done successfully by
mail and through retail stores. He
had no capital but thought that If
the idea was right, a way would be
found to make the business sue
cess.
During the first months trial Of
his idea, at the same time keeping
his Job as bookkeeper. his profits
amounted to about 500. and this
sum he used to start an accessory
store in Kansas City. Mo.
Business was slow at first. 1t was
a hard struggle when looked back
upon, but within the year the future
took on a brighter aspect.

In 1914 the Pharis Tire and Rubber
company, Newark, Ohio, began MAX

Agency, as it was called at that time,
was its best customer. In fact, this

AUTHORITIES REGARDING
NAMES COAL SUPPLY

Governor Baxter is deeply interest
ed in the present coal situation, and
is in touch with the authorities in
Washington to see what can be done
to insure the people of Maine being
supplied with coal during the coming
winter months. The State itself is a
heavy buyer of coal for its hospitals
and other institutions. Governor
Baxter has urged that some action
be taken so that the people of the
State will not suffer.
The climate Of Maine is such as to
make absolutely necessary that the
coal supply coming to the State be
uninterrupted. for our people and
our industries cannot exist unless an
adequate amount Of fuel is obtain
able. Governor Baxter has tele-
graphed to Secretary H >over inquir-
ing what the prospects are for an
early settlement of the strike, and
will do everything in his power to
see that the people Of the State are
supplied. Governor Baxter has also
telegraphed Senators Fernald and
Hale impressing upon them the
gravity of the coal situation in
Maine.
