Announces
The Sale of His Insurance Agency
JIM ST. CLAIR
Few citizens of Levelland or Hockley County need
any introduction to Jim St. Clair. Jim and his family
moved to Levelland in 1934. Jim went into the service
during World War II, and on his return in 1945 set up
an insurance business in Levelland which he operated
until 1953. He was also mayor of Levelland for two
years. For two years, he served as vice-president of
Western Fire and Indemnity Insurance Co. of Lubbock.
After selling his interest in the company, he established
his own general agency in Lubbock which was sold
recently so that he could return to Levelland to establish
an agency.
To my good friends and customers who have been
so loyal for the past eight years, and also our new cus-
tomers, I wish to express my appreciation.
I extend a personal invitation to all my customers
and friends to visit Jim St. Clair in person at 917 Austin
St., one block west of the First National Bank. Having
transferred my insurance to the St. Clair Agency, I hope
that all my past customers will keep their insurance in
force with him. Please feel free to call on me at any time
in regard to your insurance needs.
Again we say thank you for your loyal support and
business.

SAN FRANCISCO (API — The
Social Security Administration is
seeking a forger who has been
cashing the aid checks for a form-

How did they discover this fraud

The forger neglected to pick up

The resultant search led to dis-
