vicinity. When th-t-y flow by
they are countless in numbers,
and contrary to belief, residents
still may secure prauically new
cat .v.
Having been jacked up be-
cause of rationed gasoline in
the East, many cars that come
to the showrooms oi the Nor-
red company are so nearly like
new that only experts may de-
tect them as being used. Tires
are good, and they are good buys.
When you need mechanical
service, and everyone who dri-
ves a car must watch it closely
nowadays, be guided by the
experts who know now to give
your car longer life and the ex-
tra power you need by proper
service.
There are wheels to be align-
ed, general repairs, frames and
axles straightened, wrecks re-
built: brake service, motor trune
up and repaint jobs to be
seen about. The length of time
Sweetwater folks will drive
the same cars will make his-
tory and many will have, good
automobiles after war, if they
are properly serviced.
They are built for service —
long years of service—and that
is why Norred Motor's mech-
anical department will help
you keep a car ready for any
vital missions, because they are
skilled in their profession.

Harp's Taxi Keeps
Home Front Active,
Gives Fine Service
Biggest wartime necessity on
the home front is transporta-
tion to keep the wheels of vital
industry humming employes
must reach their work— now
with gasoline shortage and ra-
tioned tires. Harp's Consolidat-
ed Cab Company has taken ov-
er the responsibility.
Owned by I. L. Harp and Mcl
B. Harp, the company closely
follows government regulations
operating nine of their fleet of
13 cars at once. This allows ade-
quate repair of the remaining
four cars so that when you step
NORRED
into a taxi operated by the
Harp's Consolidated Cab Com-
pany, you are not only sure of
prompt service, but that you
will arrive safely.
"Our mechanics arc expertly
trained to service each car.
The upkeep is our main pro-
blem during wartime," said the
brothers.
Sweetwater friends have help-
ed the company expand. They
have been loyal and in return
the brothers have given to
Sweetwater one of the finest
systems anywhere: Dialing 2272
or 2502 will get a taxi prompt-
ly anytime night or day to any
spot in the city or nearby. Their
charge is nominal, more so, in
fact, than driving your own car.
Drivers are H. G. Anderson,
Chester Bearden, Morris Beard-
en, E. E. Cooper, Jack Drake,
Willard Johnson, Melvin Veale,
Charles Staas, M. O. Woodard,
R. L. King, Howard King, Brac-
kie Littlefield, Warren Martin-
dale and Stewart McGinley.
Mrs. Elmo Bettes is bookkeep-
er: Mrs. I. L: Harp, Mrs. H. M.
Taylor, Mrs. Virginia Holland.
M. O. Kerby, Jimmy Brown, and
John Berry compose the cour-
teous force.
Milk Is Most Important Among Basic Food
For Eating, Drinking,- Says Vandervoort's
When a person steps to his
door, reaches out and brings i,n
fresh, wholesome bottled milk
from Vandervoort's, he seldom
stops to realize the great effort
made to bring that bottle of
milk and cream to his doorstep.
.-since protein shortage has
turned many cows into the pas-
ture, and forced the sale of so
man> thousands of head, Van-
dervoorts must send out many
miles, sometimes more than
10(r, to get their milk supplies.
"We are going to protect our
regular customers," said E. C.
Vandervoort, owner. With this
emphatic statement, made at
the beginning of war, he has
done just that. Many times no
extra orders could be filled, no
milk was available for grocery
stores, only in scant amounts,
but always, his customers had
milk for their children and lor
cooking of a well-balanced meal.
In consideration with other
rising prices, milk prices have
stayed down. How fortunate in
these times that milk is still
almost plentiful and i.s the basis
for daily eating. It is, of high
food value, tasty and delicious
as a drink, is included in most
any well balanced inea! as a
part of a recipe: Home econo-
mists say no person is healthy
without milk to balance a diet.
While Vandervoort ice cream
is still as delicious and sweet
and fresh as ever, it i.~ ration-
ed and come peace will again
be plentiful for ali customers.
Johnson Motor Lines Haul Everything But
Cattle,- Operate 1-50 Trucks On Routes
' Regular as mail, faster than
rail." slogan of the Johnson
Motor lines lives up to the
statement.
Hauling for victory the fleets
of 150 trucks cover the great
Southwest. In Sweetwater B.
F. Gee and his personnel of 11
employes keep the fleet of five
trucks running on schedule
from their large plant at 100 E,
Avenue A.
Overnight service, as much as
possible, is stressed by tin
lines. "We haul everything ex-1 tory.
cept livestock," said Gee. Their
huge vans transport via high-
way lanes throughout Texas,
and Oklahoma, supplies that re-
lieve rail transportation during
warring times.
Connecting Jinks in highway
transportation and hauling is
one important phase of John-
son Motor lines popularity with
the shipper. The trucks spread
like a fan throughout the two
states connecting with other
trucks that move toward vie-
Recap Tires With Reclaimed Rubber Before
Too Late, Warns Hawkinson Tread Service
Hawkinson's Tread service,
212 East Broadway, warns mot-
orists to watch the precious
rubber on their tires, and keep
them up to vital war need by
recapping.
Reclaimed rubber is used for
putting the new life of 10,000
to 11,000 miles on the car own-
ers tires. Every motorist must
watch his tires more closely,
since the supply is dwindling
toward the bottom of the stack.
Hawkinson's Tread arc worth
their weight in gold, which 's
more to be desired than money
now days.
Robert Parish, manager,
proudly displays a synthetic
rubber tire, Goodrich pioneered
with, showing a road test of 80,-
000 miles and still has a good
tread for more driving.
It i.s important that tires be
recapped before they have worn
off rubber down to the fabric.
It will save you many miles of
travel to have them checked at
once at, Hawkinson's Tread Ser-
vice, owned by Guy E. Morris.
Day's Furniture
Has Beautiful
Christmas Gifts
Guy Day, owner of the Day
Furniture, started from scratch
and now, expanded into two
large buildings on East First
street, has many Christmas
suggestions left for the last min-
ute shopper.
There is no finer gift than
a piece of furniture for the
home. American housewives
had rather have a Christmas
gift of furniture than any oth-
er this year, because they must
keep thQir homes attractive for
their husbands and sons to
come to—when peuce comes.
So steady has his Business
expanded that Guy Day now has
the two large stores, one East
First Street separated; one for
used furnishings and the other
for new and moderately priced
merchandise. For 17 years he
has, with the aid of his loyal
friends brought merchandise to
Sweetwater furniture shoppers
that has eye appeal, handsome
fabrics at a moderate price.
The store has plenty of heat-
ers for the cold days ahead.
January and February, still to
come, are West Texas' coldest
months. Day's furniture store
has plenty of gas heaters as

Hillsdale Gravel
Serves War Plants
In Vast Southwest
Gravel is playing a bigger part
in winning this war than many I
people have imagined.
Much of the gravel that builds !
•foundations to army canton-'
ments and other governmental'
camps, or for factories that i
hum with war time products
to keep the allies in the fight,
comes from the Hillsdale Gra-
vel pits south of town.
When war started the great-
er part of the pit's output was
converted to the government.
Rows of cars line the spur for
the gravel, concrete and roof-
ing material so vitally needed
in construction. Ninety-five per-
cent of the company's washed
and screened gravel is shipped
to war.
Roofing gravel and road top-
ping i.s still a big item with the
company. C. C. Johnston, gen-
eral manager, has been with the
Hillsdale Gravel company since
1927. He has seen its expansion,
serving the great Southwest dur-
ing years of its rapid growth
in Texas, Oklahoma and New
Mexico.
Today the company is swing-
ing its efforts 100 per cent to
help win the war. A vast sup-
ply of gravel is one way—and
a good way.'
