REQ SERVICE FOR
THE EASTERN SHORE
New Parts And Service Sta
ton To Be Established In
This Section Soon

Announcement has been made by
the Hurley Motor Co., Philadelphia,
that q new distributing station for
REQ parts and service will soon be
centrally located in the Eastern Shore
district.
This announcement Is Of interest
to the many REQ Speed-Wagon own
ers in this section for IL means great
ly improved service and a material
saving Of time in emergencies.
The REQ Speed-Wagon has been
continually manufactured since 1914,
each year with increased production,
and in ten years there have been no
radical changes in it's design or con-
struction.
This means that parts are inter-
changeable-one years make with
another-a factor Of supreme import
ance to the truck owner as It means
that his Speed-Wagon will never be-
come an orphan.
In addition to the central distribut-
ing station, representatives are to be
appointed in each district for the sale
and service Of the REQ Speed Wagons.
It is this policy Of constantly striv-
ing TO give the truck buyer the best
possible value in service after the sale
that has won for REQ Speed Wagons
such Q reputation for reliability and q
measure Of public goodwill that has
resulted in the sale Of more than
$3.50, 000, 900 worth Of Speed-Wagons
to discriminating buyers.

Washington College in Chestertown.
Just why Washington is compelled
to play all those important games n
way from home is rather unexplain-
able. The Eastern Shoremen should
insist on an exchange which would
once in a while give them some adj
vantage. They have TO be, at least,
25 per cent stronger than their OPP
ponent to win away from home.

It now looks az If the negro pugi-

should not be DESTROYS Of seeing an

world. Let Wills reign supreme a
mongst his color; mixed battles do not

Whomever he meets in the ring,
Dempsey will present q rather profile
NAUTICAL situation. A man who has
staid out of the ropes as long as he
has, can not retain all the qualities
that have made him terror to all
corners. He is not any younger than
he was, and lack Of work must have
affected his Judge Of distance, hitting
power, speed, and all the other quail
ties in which he excelled. Il looks as
If he is in danger Of losing his crown
to just such q man as Tunney, and the
public prefers him to Wills.
