"You mean 'it you'd turn utate's evidence an''—an'—on' aqueal,
you infernal hound?"
**No; that aint hardly neeesaary; I'm leavin' here tonight, and
yon'ro goto' to give me the «tuff before I go." Farwell apoke iilowly

"Watch Bear Webber. He'# the mo t truthful big liar I ever «een
in my life. You're In a hell of a pickle with him, too. You can't
Sake a chance on flrin' him; you can't buy him; you can't ware him;
and you ain't ever goin' to catch him a nappin'; nee?"
"Well, what about thi* Dreamy Catolpy cum?"

At that time Comanche Pete nlun had some mental reservation.* as
to Webher's former relationship with the queer iiijrht rider; while, up
to thi* point, he really knew no more than did Farwell. Webber
had traveled rather more t'nnn must men of twenty-eight yearn, he
had a very vivid Imagination and wa* considered a good story teller.
He never told n story when requeited to, lint was Invariably "remind-
ad" of one. on heHrinc a tale tolii by omeone else. The boys "draw-
ad Bear out" an they phrased it, by telling outlandish tales them
Selves. Pete's private opinion was that Webber knew the mysteiion
tttan Bnd had built the Dreamy Catolpy story about him. Moreover.
Pete a)«o suspected that the man knew of the utory and was humoring
the joke. Who the stranger realty was, Pete had not the slightest
notion, at that time.

In a recent address on the 25th anniversary or the Sun Francisco
fire, William Butterworth, President of the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, said: "Fire insurance is a very essential part of j
American business. It constitutes an important foundation of cred-
it, of industry, merchandising and of shipping. Today it protects
aome 240 billion dollars worth of property . . .
'fWhen the home haa been laid in ashes, insurance has provided the
Heeded shelter and aided in building anew. When the property that

insurance has helped make good the iom .... Against practically

In other word#, stock fire Insurance is the cornerstone of all busi-
ness, of all social and industrial existence and progress. Without the
{protection afforded by insurance, the modern world, m we know it,
could not exist. The builder, the investor, the employer would b"
constantly facing a grave and ruinous hazard that could, in a few
minutes time, wipe out the work of years. American and world civ-
ilisation owe a tremendous debt to the institution of insurance.

I
AS STRANGE AS IT MAY SEEM, I am sometimes asked why we advertise.
JThis question has never been asked by the great majority of people who have
learned to depend upon advertising as a source of news and information. Bu in
order that our customers and the general public will know specifically why iwe
advertise, I shall briefly give the four principal reasons. They are:
To tell our customers and the general public about the company itself, its
policies, its methods of doing business, the men and women who work
for it, and its plans for development.
To gain public co-operation by directing attention to that which will
encourage thrift, to promote safety, to build up industrial enterprises, and
to make this community a better place in which to live.
:t
To sell the service of the company and to keep our customers advised of
the facilities that make this service possible. To assist our customers in
saving gas and reducing their gis bills. To sell our fuel in competition
with other fuels.
To give us a means of expression when misunderstood and unjustly attacked.
We use, principally, newspaper advertising because it has proven to be the moat
efficient and economical way to reach ail of our customers, and the greatest
majority of the general public. An advertisement in the newspapers actually coots
less than it would to mail die same information to each of our customers by letter.
Advertising a the voux of your gas company.
