The golden, sunshiny days of the
past weeks have been the occasion
Of many a happy outing-and, that
we might enjoy these gay times in
retrospect. we've preserved their
stories in interesting little kodak
pictures Of all the crowd and the
scenes of our merry making. And
you'd be surprised how easy this
was. We simply bought the films
at Fischer's Drug Store. at Broad
way and Travis, and they loaned US
the kodak free. Isn't that splen-
did arrangement? And for our clear
prints we're indebted to Fischer's,
too-tbeir finishing service is simply
unexcelled. Whether it's films or ice
cream sodas one wants, buying at
Fishers is always pleasant-quality
stocks and friendly service assure
this.

couple Of weeks.
"Truly, I never knew travelling
could be so pleasant until / started
making these trips with George via
the Red Ball bus-up from Corpus
Christi and back" Celestine ex-
claimed on her arrival at our "man--
sion" yesterday. Their cars afford
the most comfortable riding imagirr
able-indeed. such a trip is a real
pleasure jaunt. And now / want
you all to come down and see me
real soon. You'll find travelling via
the Rtl Ball most delightful"
The same excellent service with
which Celestine is so charmed is
maintained on all Red Ball bus lines.
Their office at 116 n. Alamo St,
will gladly give any desired in
formation.

right on the dot, came the faithful

I'm simply delighted. It's a Crystal
receiving set, you know, and on one
side is a little receptacle in which
to drop the money. I've worked
out a wonderful system for saving
via this madium. At the conclusion
Of each program to which I listen, /
drop in a quarter, half dollar or a
dollar, depending upon how good the
program is. Thus, you see, not
only enjoy an evenings entertain
ment, but I save, and deposit, what
such entertainment would cost were
it not for my radio. You'd be sur
prised how fast the money counts
UP. These clever radio banks are
given free, by the Mutual Deposit
& Loan Assn, at 10S Broadway,
with new accounts. This Associa-
ton is paying z per cent on in

figure how fast my radio funds"
will grow to real money. You really
ought to start an account too.

banks will be rewarded by the
