In addition to the Loughborough
property of ninety-two acres. this
company also has purchased the Shoe

east of River road on both sides of
the railroad, and other rather extern

The old romance Of Don Quixotc

state only with great difficulty, but
il falls within the limits of the
Marionette production with consid-

finds himself perfectly at home in
producing acting sheep, horses. San

Don and his faithful Squire, Sancho.
The Don's charge upon flock of
sheep his fitting contest with the
windmill and with another knight
in armor, and the little marionettc
play within the marionette play are
few of the features most unusual
and never before attempted on the
marionette stage. Mr.. Sarg devot1

during which time he dramatized

Your Future!

You're getting along all right
today but-what about the days
and years to come? Are you
protected?
By protection we mean that
regular, steady income which
doesn't depend upon your own
earning ability-income that is
the best protective insurance in
the world-such income as units
in the TeX-La Pecan Orchards can
bring you.
No, you don't have to know a
thing about pecans. R. Bruce
Brough will take care of your
units for you-plant the trees,
cultivate them, and everything.
And every unit is absolutely guar
anteed!
Look into this! It's too good to
miss-why, you'll be making
small investment in small easy
payments that in just a few years
will start an income that will last
as long as you live!
