Clarise Anders and Charlc.s
Minshew seem to have a lot

ment in every way Friday night
after a hard week's practice.
They got the jump on Naples
in the first few minutes of
play when Milford York, Min-
eola end, blocked a punt at-
tempted by Naples. The Jack-
ets made their first touchdown
a few plays later and then
proceeded to make a racetrack
cut of our football field.
In the last few seconds of
the game the Jackets began
to get very leg weary and who
did Coach send in? The great
George Hannon! George is not-
ed for his size and blocking-
ability and did he mow 'em
down while the crowd -.vent
wild. George played too rough,
however, and Coach had to
get him out of the game
before he hurt someone. Nice
going. George!
Next Friday night the Jack-
ets meet the strong Dainger-
field team and we expect they
will be here with blood in their
eyes for a victory. So let's turn
out and help support the Yel-
low Jackets.
Let's beat Daingerfield!

Grace Evelyn Ford, has a new

Vance and Gay Lester, who were
dressed in military costumes.

Sport Sayings.
(Rowden & Shirey, Inc.)
The Jackets came back strong
Friday night to pin Naples'
ears back by a score pf 48-0,
and that is some score in any-
body's football game.
It seems that the Mt. Pleas-
ant game made the boys very
determined not to lose another
game. They think that it i s
very unpleasant feeling to
lose.
The big Orange and White
Pep Squad, led by the pranc-
ng Yellow Jacket Band, per-
formed on the field Friday
light between halves, and made
quite an impression.
The band was led by Billie
Sue Rothwell, diminutive drum
major whose baton twirling way
is proficiently executed as ar$
| ever seen here.

Local business man to handle one of
General Motors' Fastest selling
lines of cars
Pontiac Motor Division of General Motors Sales Corpora-
tion offers some able, ambitious, and far-sighted man
in Mineola—the opportunity to become the local dealer
for the big, economical, low-priced, fast-selling Pontiac
Sixes and Eight.
Pontiac, today, is one of the largest producers of cars in
the General Motors Corporation. Pontiac cars are priced
near the lowest, enabling a dealer to compete strongly in
the field where 87 per cent of all automobiles were sold
last year. Pontiac's extra value is so obvious that buyers
readily pay a few more cents a day to get a Pontiac instead
of other low-priced cars of inferior size and quality. This
is an opportunity that seldom occurs and it is excep-
tionally valuable because a General Motors franchise is
involved—and General Motors products are handled by
the largest group of satisfied dealers in the automotive
industry. Moreover, the Pontiac franchise includes
special features which assure maximum rewards for
able men.
Many Pontiac dealers in towns the size of Mineola
have doubled and tripled their business in the past few
years—proving that men who take the franchise of the
right low-priced car can look forward to an expanding
business and steadily increasing profits.
The 1939 Pontiac line has scores of features which make
them exceedingly easy to sell. It includes a full line of
Sixes and a full line of Eights. The Pontiac is everywhere
recognized as America's finest low-priced car and the
most economical car of its size and weight on the
road today.
Pontiac's 1939 features include the finest hydraulic brakes
in use today (multi-sealed), Unisteel "Turret-Top"
Bodies by Fisher, improved Knee-Action, Fisher No-Draft
Ventilation, great economy, and that finest of new ad-
vancements—Safety Shift Gear Control, New Duflex
Springing. Its reputation for dependability is.recognized
as being unmatched.
The investment required to open a dealership is not large.
Previous automobile experience (either as a salesman or
a dealer) is desirable but not essential, since we are in a
position to provide you with every assistance in establish-
ing your business and in helping you get started in selling
cars on the righ basis. Able men will recognize this as
a genuine ground-floor opportunity of exceptional value.

An all-electric kitchen actually does cut the housewife's kitchen time
in half. It gives her more time for more important things, including
recreation. There are two ways to acquire an all-electric kitchen. One
is to remodel the entire kitchen with all new electrical equipment. The
other is the step by step plan. With either plan, the electrical equip-
ment may be purchased out of your income. We will be glad to assist
you in the planning of your kitchen. Come in and talk it over with us.
