II have heard of Imperial Valley

and we have been hearing an un.
usual amount about it in Denver re-
Gently, but never dreamed of find

Why, l expected to find ALMOST a
frontier town, and here you have a
modern little city and wonderful

The reporter mentioned the sand
Idunes. "Iou might find all kinds
of adventure if YOU slide off the

the highway don think YOU II
find that the sand hills have been
Ichanged much.
"They will be, Mr.. Mcclure
felt sure. Somebody will discov

without water and somebody else
will put up factory ont there some
where and make breakfast food or
something. It's wonderful spirit
that people must have to make over
"a desert into place like Imperial

20 years, and l admire it from my

'SIMONIZINC" IS
REAL HELP TO
AUTO OWNERS

Many man. when cleaning and
that the polish he puts on the body
and tenders Of the ear would last
for more than a day or two and
that the work he does on one week
end would last decentlv through -
the next.
1t is no small undertaking to pol
is, a ear well ard not every man can
aSiford to have il done whenever the
ear aeeds it, or find time to do
ihs work himself.
It was .isSt for such automobile
owners as this that Simoniz was
perfected, according to J. A. Hall,
local manager OF the Western Auto
Supply Company. - Simonizing the
car will keep it clean and new look
IL! for a long time. The word
fSimoniz' although commonly used,
is not clearly defined in the minds
.cf manS as we receive many inquir-
les wanting TO know if Simoniz Is
L polish or paint; if it is hard to
apply: and why We recommend that
e new car should always be Simon
lied.
oimoniz is wax polish that
should be applied TO a new ear as
well as an old one and the wax
protects the paint in the same man.
i.er that polish protects shoe leath-
er. The film of wax protects the
paint from dirt and CRIME and an
occasional application will retain
;he cars original lustre. This is un-
like most polish that must be ap-
piied each time the car is washed
Us the water merely removes the
dirt from the WAX finish and Il
brisk rubbing with a dry cloth i'm
u.ediately brings back the lustre.
.'If traffic film has coated the
ear, tie SimoniZ cleaner should be
used. This will remove the dirt from
rhc paint and clean it for the wax
application.
A good job OF Simonizing on Il
ear is equivalent to saying good-by
TO car polishing for two or three
weeks at least as the ear will re
r,ain bright and new looking as
,epg as it is properly Simonized. >

Down from
Canada
came tales of a
wonderful
beverage (

For years and years, visitors to Canada had
come back with tales of a wonderful ginger
ale. They described its exquisite favor
they told of drinking it in the Houses of
Parliament in Ottawa, in the residence of
the Governor General, and. in the Royal
Canadian Yacht Club.
Friends would listen and smack their
lips and ask if there wasn't some way to
purchase it in this country. And the answer
was always "No."
Finally. however, the demand became
so nsistent that it was decided to open
branch in this country, and in 1922 Canada
Dry" for the first time, was officially
brought to the United States.
Today Canada Dry" is known the wide
world over and its phenomenal growth in
public favor is one of the most inspiring
tributes to quality in the history of Ameri.
can business.
The reason for this remarkable success
is simply that Canada Dry" is real GIN
ger ale, made from the highest grade
Jamaica ginger, and blended with some
thing of the same care as rare old wine.
Try it soon. In purity, in quality, in
the witchery of its favor, it is indeed
