To: W. W. Harris, Defendant,
Greeting:
You are hereby commanded to
appear before the Honorable 78th
District Court of Wichita County
at the Court House thereof, in Wi-
chita Falls, Texas at or before 10
o’clock a. m. of the first Monday
next after the expiration of forty-
two days from the date of the is-
suance of this citation, same being
the 20th day of June A. D. 1953
then and there to answer Plain-
tiff’s Petition filed in said Court,
on the 29th day of April A. D.
1953, in this cause, numbered 52,-
025-B on the docket of said court
and styled Ruby Harris, Plaintiff,
vs. W. W. Harris, Defendant.
A brief statement of the nature
It was on July 4, 1903, that the first Southwestern Life insurance
policy, for $5,000, was issued to a Texan. This business transaction
marked the beginning of a partnership between a Texas institution
and the people of Texas—a partnership which has continued through
five decades' of their joint progress.
Fifty years later, one policy has become more than 300,000
policies, $5,000 has become more than a billion dollars of financial
protection on the lives of these policyowners, and Southwestern Life
has honored its partnership obligation by the payment of $173,000,00V
in benefits to policyowners and beneficiaries.
Southwestern Life’s faith in Texas has been the counterpart of
its service to policyowners. The Company has loaned to Texas real £
estate owners more than $250,000,000 in this 50-year span. It also
has invested substantially in Texas state, county and municipal bonds
and in the securities of Texas corporations. Thus, the savings of
policyowners have provided not only financial security for hundreds
of thousands of Texans but also a reservoir of capital available to
help build and develop the State.
On July 4, 1953, the golden anniversary of Southwestern Life’s
first business transaction, the Company acknowledges, with profound
appreciation, the vision and faith of its founders, the conscientious
and efficient service of an unsurpassed agency force and home office
staff, and the confidence and good will of Texans everywhere—all of
J
which together have made possible the success of the Texas- jr
Southwestern Life partnership. .
The Officer executing this pro-
cess shall promptly execute the
same according to law and make
due return as the law directs.

Hand for Honors

J. O. Walkup and son, Jimmy

to say goodbye to Robert B. (Bob)
Anderson, US Secretary of the
Navy when he left Sheppard AFB,
Wednesday afternoon , June 24.
The Secretary of the Navy had
been guest of honor at numerous
iiffairs while in this area and was
installed as Worshipful Master of
the Vernon Masonic Lodge at an
8 a. m. session Wednesday morn-
ing.
Clyde Dunn, worshipful master
of the Electra Masonic Lodge and
P. B. Broadwell, a member of the
lodge here, were among the visit-
ing Masons who were present for
the installation.

of this suit is as follows, to-wit:
After alleging ‘jurisdiction,
plaintiff further alleges that she
and defendant were married on or
about November 17, 1945 and con-
tinued to live together, as husband
and wife until on or about April
29, 1953, when by reason of cruel,
harsh and tyrannical treatment on
the part of the defendant toward
this plaintiff without cause or pro-
vocation, was of such a nature as
to render their further living to-
gether insupportable; that there
was one child born of said mar-
riage to-wit a girl about six years
of age; and that Plaintiff is a fit
and proper person to have the cus-
tody and possession of said minor
child; and that there is no com-
munity property.
Wherefore,'’plaintiff prays that
defendant be cited to appear and
answer herein, and that upon trial
hereof, she have judgment for di-
yorce^aqd/ fpr 4tlie.. custody and
possession of said minor 'child and
a reasonable amount for its sup-
| port and maintenance.
jf If this citation is not served
within ninety days after the date
of issuance it shall be returned
unserved.
TVTaybe you’re saying: "Wait a minute!
XVL I’ve got to keep it around twenty-
five hundred dollars. Why isn’t a dressea-
up, low-priced car about what I want?”
We’re glad you said "about what you
want” because you’d soon discover that a
low-priced car dressed up like a "big car”
is still a lighter, smaller car by a good deal
than a Packard CLIPPER.
And besides, a Clipper gives you the
choice of adding power steering, power
braking or power shifting ... all three, if
you want them. These are real big-car
features really needed for today’s tough,
teeming traffic.
“Is this Clipper really big?”
Well, check the dimensions: 122-inch
wheelbase, 213-inch over-all length. Big
as it is, it’s still perfectly parkable in tight
i places. And out on the open highway,
