on his part added great value to Mrs.
Ficklen'S interests.

behalf of the city during the dry
period in 1921, and for other legal

RICHMOND, Va, September s.
There are fifty thousand automobiles
In Virginia on which license taxes
have been paid and on which the
owners have failed to pay property
tax. This discovery was made here
when the checking up 6f licensed ma
chimes by counties and cities was
made, and it was found that there are
about forty machines to each county
end city which are owned by persons
who have sworn that they do not own
machines.
The matter of ferreting out these
dclinquents is under way and the pen
atty for having failed to report the
autos will cost the owners just dou-
BILE the amount of the tax they had
been listed for.
In this matter the commissioners OF
the revenue are in for a calling down
for accepting these returns without
making an investigation. The state
and the cities and counties have been
the losers by the fact that owners OF
cars have attempted to defraud them
out of taxes, and the local men will
be called on to aid in the task of run
ming down the men and women who
have thus far short-changed the
state.

BIG FACTOR IN OIL
FIELD DEVELOPMENT
Peden Iron-Steel Company
Renders Valuable Ser
Uice to Operators.

The Peden Iron and Steel Company
has been a great factor in the develop
ment of the oil fields of the state, ac-
cording to John w. Watts, manager
of the San Antonio branch. Mr.. Watts
says that the various branches located
over the state have assisted materially
in oil development by keeping immense
stocks of oil well supplies, thus enabling
operators to secure supplies when
needed.
The San Antonio branch of the Peden
Iron and Steel Company was established
in 1910. 1t is the largest and Oldest
branch. Other branches are maintained
at Fort Worth and Shreveport. Head
quarters are in Houston. The San An
tonic branch employs fourteen statesmen
who cover an extensive territory. Al.
though the firm name does not indicate
it. the Peden Iron and Steel Company
does a large wholesale hardware bust
ness. The San Antonio branch carries a
complete line of all kinds of hardware,
sporting and athletic goods, silverware
cutlery. automobile accessories, shor
equipment. home furnishings and many
other items.
John W. Watts is manager OF the
San Antonio branch and n. +. Van Hoo
genhuyze is sales manager. Both Mr.
Watts and Mr.. Van Hoogenhuyze are
optimistic over the future of San An
tonic as a iobbing center. They believe
that Merchants Trade Week will ac'
complish much in the way of acquaint'
ing retailers with the excellent facili'
ties afforded by local wholesale houses.
