Headers el' Tho Weekly Democrat-
Gazette, McKinney, Texas. Dear
Friends:
In behalf of Candidate James W.
McDonald, for Commissioner in Pre-
cinct No. 2 I wan' to fay that t'ais. is
orio of the cieanest men that has over
mado a race in Collin County, and 1
want to assure the voters of this pre-
cinct that his success in his own busi-
ness has shown that he holds quall-
' fications that will mean savings for
the county in a financial and materi-
al way. His educational qualifications
;ure tho best and In this man wo have
a representative in the Commission-
ers Court of the county that will be
up to tho standard of any county.
And in this body tho county needs
strong men for this important posi-
tion.
I have personally known J. W.
McDonald for the last 30 years and
know him to be a strong progressive
Democrat, ono who stands for the
better government of our ct/Untry. Ho
has lived a straight, clean, upright
Industrious life, and is the correct
man for the position that he now
seeks.
I feel sure that any voter of this
precinct will not regret giving this
young man his support in our coming
primaries.
Respectfully,
J. S. BILLINGSLEY,

SUNLITE
PRODUCTS N
ON THE
The Sun lite Compaify of McKinney
are today announcing in the column*
of this paper the fact that production
of Sunlite products ia under way in
their new factory quarters.
An Invitation is extended to all In-
terested McKinney ritlsens to call at
the plant and they will be shown
through the building and details will
be thoroughly explained. Everyone
should avail himself of this op-
portunity to become acquainted with
the newest McKinney industry and
the men who are giving their time
and ability In order to make it one of
the leading industries of this state
and section.
Duo to the shortage of building ma-
terial, only a part of the building is
complete at thla time but it is stated
that the entire building will be com-
pleted within the near future, at
which time the office will be moved
from its present locution ou East
Louisiana street to the new building.
The citizens of McKinney will be
deeply interested in the development
of this new enterprise. The company
plans a rapid expansion of its busi-
ness and expects to employ a consid-
erable number of skilled mechanics
in producing a lino of automobile ac-
cessories which will be known in
every country of the globe where
motor cars are used.
The Sunlite Company is the only
organization in the Slate of Texas
making an automobile lens and one
of a few in tho United States, 'l it
majority of the officers and directors
of the company are McKinney citi-
zens. These men invested In the Sun-
lite company from a desire to share
in the profits which will result from
the manufacture and sales of their
products, but they caused the location
of the factory In McKinney from a
patriotic desire to see their home
city grow and develop Into a better
place in which to live and develop
toeir business, which can only co'ie
through the opening of new indus-
tries.
Mr. T^aubneh, sales manager, is in
San Antonio making arrangements
to sccure extensive distribution of tho
company's products in that territory.
On a recent trip to St. Louis it is
stated that ho was able to secure dis-r
tributlon of the lens which assures
the sale of from fifteen to twenty
thousand pairs in Missouri alone dur-
ing the coming year.
The company's officials are confi-
dent that the above is only a small
Indication of the wealth of business
awaiting their active solicitation.
The "best automobile lens" made
and the "best tire rebuilding ma-
chine" made are being offered to the
people who demand the best.. Only
one result can be seen a deluge of
orders for these products with its
consequent benefit to the Sunlite
Company and to the City of McKin-
ney In which they have elected
locate this business.
