One OF the best road maps ever
printed, and one which is proving
POPULAR with motorists, Is the mar
being distributed BY the Hicks Rub
Der company.
This new road map. which gives the
exact condition of roads throughout

yes a headache trying to decipher
il.
The map appears on the reverse
side Of the new Hicks Rubber COM
pany circular. now being distributed
iE connection with a reduction in
prices by the Hicks stores and asso-
ciated stores.
Price reductions include the high
est quality Dayton Red Stripe bal
looms and the popular Dayton Thoro-
bred all-black tires. "This price re-
duction." said Mr.. Pipkin, Of the
Brownsville Hicks Rubber company,
lis due to declines in the rubber
market and is also a result of the
economies effected by the modern
merchandising policies Of the COM
pany.
"Centralizing buying power and
heavy sales volume, due to the non
ularity Of Dayton tires" he said.
ras brought lower prices on tires
that were manufactured to be the
highest priced tires in the world, but
the public has bought so many of
them that we are enabled to pass the
savings from heavy volume on TO the
people"

Reveals Increase of
e Per Cent

SOUTH BEND, lad, June 10.-Re-
tail deliveries Of Studebaker ears BY
dealers for the first 20 days Of May
were % per ZEN greater than the
corresponding period last year, it was
announced here today.
Since September 1927, every month
has shown an increase in the sale OF
S~tudebakers over the corresponding
months Of the previous year.
The rapid progress Studebaker is
making in sales is closely paralleled
by the progress il has made in es-
tablishing new speed and endurance
records during the past nine months.
The most notable Of these records
was made last fall when the Stude-
baker Commander travelled $4,000
miles in less than $4,000 consecutive
minutes. Nothing on earth has ever
travelled SO far so fast.
Recently further performance rec
ords were established BY the Presi-
dent, the Dictator and the Erskinc
six. bringing to Studebaker every
existing speed and endurance record
for fully equipped stock cars. A
President s sedan broke all stock en-
closed car records from ) to 1900
miles and from / to "a hours. Two
Dietators travelled 5000 miles in less
than 5000 minutes setting a record
for stock ears under $i4O0. Two
Erskine Six sedans travelled 1000
miles in les than 1000 minutes
record for fully equipped stock cars
priced below $1,000.

PATTESON AT

Drew Patteson has just returned
from Corpus Christi where he at
tended a district meeting in the in
terest OF Ford model ct" service.
Inc meeting was held by p. w.
Schwa who Is manager Of the Hous-
ton branch Of the Ford Motor COM
pany.
The entire meeting was lent to
a minute discussion of service-the
Keynote to a successful sales pro-
gram-dealing entirely with the mod
ell 4, automobile" says Mr.. Patteson.
There are now more than eight
million model IT Fords in active SER
vice. There il also many a Ford
car that still has miles of trans
portation in it. that can be put into
shape and can be operated for per-
iods OF two. three or four years, at
q very small cost.
The Ford Motor company and ev-
cry authorized sales and service deal
er is in position 20 take care Of every
service need Of every Ford owner.
For instance. our own stock Of model
IT repair parts is Just as complete
as it was when Mr.. Ford announc-
ed the discontinuance Of his model
IT.
"The price Of genuine Ford parts
Is. as we all know. the lowest price
that is received for repair parts for
n automobile on the market to-
day. There has been no let-up on
the part of the Ford Motor COM
pany in the production of these
parts-in fact. the present manufac-
turing program is greater for the
manufacture of strictly service parts
than eve before.
Compare the labor charges as
quoted you by any authorized sales
and service dealer and you will find
them lower. because Of our flat rate
policy and because OF our labor saw
ing equipment. We have in our shop
specific tools for each individual
operation. There In no guess work
on the part of mechanics. They
either know the work or they don't
il they don't. there is no place in
our organization.

unnecessary.
"0ur leadership Is now extending
both written and personal Invitations
to every model ST owner TO let US
show how to protect the investment
in that model It and enable the own
er to get more for his car when he
eventually wants to trade il in on a

Patteson Is very enthusiastic about
this service program and IL is his
sincere hope that every one OF the
customers will avail themselves of the
opportunity to let his service man

cuss genuine Ford service with each

Even Cameron was born among

six feet two in his ~moccasions, dark
haired and c~lear-eyed.
Coming to Texas while still in his
youth. he cast his lot with the Tex
ans in their effort to gain freedom
from Mexico. For many years peo-
pie were so busy making history
they had little time Il record it. For
example, considerable discussion
once arose concerning the origin Of
the name Of Cameron county, but
there was very little recorded his
tory to be found which could tell us
for whom this section was named.
Some people thought that the name
was a corruption Of a Spanish word
meaning shrimp and that the coun-
ty had been so named because Of the
abundance Of shrimp in the waters
along the coast. But research by 4
