Sinclair, Texas, Tidewater
Meet Humble, Carter
10-Cent Advance
nr UNITED PRESS
Crude oil price advances of 10
cents a barrel were met today by
three companies — ths Sinclair
Prairie Oil Marketing Company,
the Texas Company and the Tide-
water Oil Company.
The Carter Oil Company and
Humble Oil Company took the
initiative yesterday in price in-
creases. This made a price range
in all fields in which the compa-
nion operate from 40 to 72 cents,
the latter price for 40 degree
gravity and above oil in Okla-
homa and Kansaa. A flat 60-cent
rate was offered in East Texas,
40 centa flat in West Texan with
variations in other pools.
The Sinclair announcement
said the company had met the ad-
vance for Oklahoma and Kansas,
East Texas and other Texas oil
fields.
The Texas Company buys in
Texas, Oklahoma and North
Louisiana and Tidewater buys In
Texas and Oklahoma.
" Here's New Schedules
L The new schedules for Texas and
"Ti lewater, effective at 7 a. m. to-
sday, also call for 60 cents a bar-
ffel flat rate for East Texas crude
C and a 72 cents a barrel figure
40 gravity and above for Ok-
Nahoma and Kansas. The Okla-
sbema-Kansas price decreases two
seents from the top for each de-
decrease in gravity.
"For North and North Central
“Texas a top of 62 centa and a min-
Clmum of 38 cents a barrel waa
posted. In the Panhandle a 56
dealt top was set for Gray County
land a 51 cent top for Carson
Land Hutchinson counties. The
Toulf Coast top was poated at 72
See Dawn of New Era
11 Many oil men heralded the new
price schedule as the dawn of the
new deal for the $14,000,000,000
oil industry. Some producers pre-
dicted $1 a barrel oil by Sept. 15.
These predictions, it was under-
• stood, were based on unconfirmed
rumors that President Roosevelt
would set the price of 60-64 oc-
tane wholesale gasoline in group
three at 5.4 cents a gallon.
Multiply this by the constant
adopted in the oil code—18.5— $1
oil would result.
“Anticipated balancing of pro-
duction to consumptive demand”
under N. R. A. oil code was cited
by President Robert L. Blatter of
Humble in announcing the ad-
advance in prices in all Texaa
fields and in Lea County, N. M.
Humble’s new schedule was
made effective as of 7 a. m. yes-
terday and Carter's at 7 a. m. to-
day. 5________

they believed both beer and re-
peal would win, but hesitated to
predict majorities. Prohibition-
ists, hopelessly beaten in June,
have since made some gains, it la
believed.
Mr. Ferguson also declared
himself confident the relief bond
issue also would win.
That appeared in grave doubt
a few weeks ago. The amendment
barely passed the Legislature, be-
cause of reluctance of legislators
to break down Texas’ tradition
against state debt.
Then a determined campaign
was begun in its behalf, chief
talking points being that the U.
S. government, which has con-
tributed nearly $500,000 to Tar-
rant relief, nearly $4,000,000 in
Texas, would withdraw ita aid un-
less the bond issue passed, and
that cities and counttea could not
bear ths load alone.
Home Rule's chances were
problematical. An intensive cam-
paign for it did not begin until
about two weeks ago.-----------
It is believed the large coun-
ties will go for it strongly, with
its fate lying in the 241 counties
which it does not directly affect.
There is a fifth proposal on
the ballot tomorrow—a clarifica-
tion of the amendment passed
last year to exempt homesteads
from taxation up to $3,000 of
their value, to make the amend-
ment apply to certain counties to
which it does not now apply. ,
It has been little discussed and
is expected to pass.

Do you know this? An average sine tire goes round 395 times
every minute at only 35 miles an bour! Think what happens
when you drive at this epeed—or faster! Friction develops
scorching beat inside your tiveel In many tires other than
Riversides this beat separates cords and forms internal blisterel
When you hit a rock or a bump . . e BANG! A Blowout!
Riversides’ Selected Cords—the heart of the tire—are made
from extra strong, long staple, premium cotton. Every cord
in every ply is dipped in LATEX—100% pure, liquid, virgin
rubber. This welds the cords into a super strong unit! It gives
Riversides the strongest tire carcass made!

Why We Save You Money
, of course Riversides are made in one of America's largest
and best tire factories. BUT—they come direct to us—minus
the manufacturer's selling and general overhead expense.
That's a saving. The second saving comes from Ward’s low
cost method of distribution. These two reasons explain why
we sell high quality tires for less—why Riversides are better
in quality, mileage, and safety than any other tire at the same
price.
