AUTO SUPPLIES
ARE WELCOMED
AS XMAS GIFTS

Only q few days left to do your
Christmas shopping. A few years
ago such n reminder in connection
with the automobile industry would
have looked ont of place, but since
so many people are giving practical
gifts to automobile owners, the re-
m.nder has its place among the au-
tomobile columns.
From observations along auto
row. accessories and supplies for the
car are greatly in demand. The own
er of the modern motor ear would be
pleased to receive something for
his car that would add comfort and
safety to his motor trips. For such
person, practical automobile ac-
cessories are hard to duplicate as
Christmas presents.
In addition to their usefulness,
another feature that makes acces-
sories favored gifts in their range of
prices. The buyer can spend just
as much or little as he pleases and
yet the article purchased will be ap-
preeiated by the motorist who re-
ceives it.
During this eleventh hour rush. the
Western Auto Supply company is
holding a last minute gift sale and
an inspection OF the stock of acces-
sories will reveal many favored
items.
1t is useless to. try to list all of
the practical gifts. Their number
is legion and all are highly accept
able as Christmas gifts. There are
dozens of new accessories that made
their appearance since the first of
this year and old established aeces-
sories are as much in demand as
ever.
Among the favored accessory gifts
are TO be found the following: step
plates, spotlights, cushions, rear
view mirrors, vacuum bottles and
picnic sets. Ornamental accessories
include radiator caps with fancy
wings. speed nvmphs, onyx gear shift
balls and decorative lights. Visors,
windshield wiper and skid chains
are listed among the winter needs.
During this sale event. the West
ern Auto Supply company is giving
a Christmas present to every tire
purchaser in the form Of an ;nnor
tube TO correspond in size with the
tire purchased.
