home.
A year ago it seemed that we could do
the job for 250 million dollars.
But today the job is bigger, largely
because of the continuing heavy demand
for telephones; and costs have gone up
for both materials and labor.
There are about 235,000 people wait-
ing for service in the 700 towns we serve
in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma,
Texas, and a part of Illinois. Applications
are still coming in, at a rate of about
50,000 a month.

No Hunting
Permitted in Park
Although there is a sign at
each entrance in the upper part
of Stephen F. Austin State Park
stating “No Hunting or Firearms
Permitted, Game Preserve,” there
are some who have the mistaken
idea or have been misinformed
that hunting is permitted. This
park is NOT open for hunting
or harming the wildlife in any
way. Those so doing are subject
to a fine. This applies to all areas
of the park.

Like the automatic washing
machine, the automatic tumbler-
type clothes dryer is a boon to
American women because it
ends another wash day chore.
It’s a labor saver, a time saver
and a health saver, says Bendix
Home Laundry Institute.
It ends lugging heavy bas-
kets of wet clothes, climbing
stairs, stringing clothes lines,
hanging the wash piece by piece
and taking it down. It elimin-
ates broken lines and dirtied
laundry, clothes props, stretch-
ing and reaching.
An automatoc dryer is healthy
for the housewife and healthy,
too, for the clothes which are
sanitized by the hot air. With
an automatic clothes dryer, wo- -
men need not expose themselves E

Wallis Butane Dealers
Attend State
Convention This week
A program designed to meet
the challenge of a rapidly ex-
panding and progressive indus-
try, was the theme of the Sec-
ond Annual Convention and
Trade Show of the Texas Bu-
tane Dealers Association.
The convention was held in
Galveston Monday, Tuesday and
Wednesday of this week, with
headquarters at the Buccaneer
hotel. Mr. and Mrs. B. M. May-
er, butane" dealers at Wallis,
attended.
Butane dealers over the State
met together to improve me-
thods of better serving their
ever-growing list of fuel con-
sumers, more adequately, more
quickly and more efficiently.
Only in this way can the deal-
ers in this infant industry, which
has grown by leaps and bounds

tools ... more new buildings and
additions.
We need more and then still more of
most of the thousands of things used to
give telephone service. They take time to
make and they must fit in with present
equipment.
We’ll have the trained men ready to
install the new equipment as it arrives,
construction crews ready to string wire
and place cable, splicers to connect tens
of thousands of wires, installers to put in
telephones.
It’s the largest construction program
the telephone company has ever under-
taken, and it’s marked RUSH.
We want to catch up with the demand
for service and then get ahead faster with
the program to provide the most adequate
and modern telephone service ever
known.

serves women’s energy; “work-
less” drying is non-tiring.
Hours of time are saved be-
cause the dryer is just a step
from the washer. “Quick” is the
word describing the time taken
to dry a load of 18 pounds of
wet clothes. They are ready for
the ironer or for storing in ap-
proximately 45 minutes.
Operation of the dryer is sim-
ple. The housewife tosses the
clothes from the washer into
the porthole door of the dryer,
sets the controls and leaves, as-
sured that the machine will turn
off automatically when the load
is dryed as she wants it.
The Bendix automatic dryer
comes in two models; one is
heated by gas and the other by
electricity. They are nearly iden
tical in appearance. Both oper-
ate on the same principles.
Finished in white, high-baked
heat-resistant enamel, the appli-
ance is a fitting companion to
