tation. Phone us your orders, when in need of
QUALITY groceries as well as SERVICE and

R. S. Morehead has leased the west
side of the Truett building, which is
now occupied by the Parker shoe and
tire shop, for a term of five years,
and will install a drive-in filling sta-
tion. Part of the west wall of the
building will be removed and the
front set back about fifteen feet so
that cars can drive in and be filled
with gas without blocking the side-
walk or street. When the improve-
ments are made that are contemplat-
ed Mr. Morehead will have an up-to-
the-minute filling station. He will
install two pumps and will be able to
.accommodate two cars at one time.
Mr. Parker will be associated with
him in the business. They will carry
a stock of tires, tubes and lubricating
oils. This, is a popular business cor-
ner and they will doubtless do a good
business from the'start.

there is still plenty of excitement and pleasure in
nibbling at some of our fine chocolates. It’s a
pretty classy way to spend a quiet afternoon or
evening—a dainty companion to take with you
wherever you go. Buy a box of our candy for
something that is just a little bit nicer and with a
delightful assortment that gives you a fine choice.
