The Outstanding Chevrolet of Chevrolet History—a Six in
the price range of the four—is now on display in our show-
room ... and you are cordially invited to call and inspect it.
Never before has there been such a car. Its new six-cylinder
valve-in-head motor is the most remarkable power plant
ever offered in a low-priced automobile. Not only is it 32 %
more powerful than any previous Chevrolet motor, with
correspondingly increased speed and faster acceleration—
but it delivers this marvelous performance with fuel-
economy of better than 20 miles to the gallon! Its handling
ease is amaiing—the result of a full ball-bearing steering
mechanism and big, quiet 4-wheel brakes. It rides with
unusual comfort over any road. And its beautiful new
Fisher bodies have been acclaimed by automotive critics aa
one of the greatest style triumphs of the year.
Come in and see this sensational car. You'll marvel that
such a Six can be built in the price range of the foqrl

Rev. M. U. Conditt
Goes To Fort Worth
It is with regret that an-
nouncement is made of the
resignation from the pastorate
of the First Presbyterian
church of Rev. Conditt. His
having been called to the pas.
torate of a Presbyterian church
in Forth Worth.
The present pastorate dates
from March 15, 1925. Rev.
Conditt was ordained and
formally installed as pastor,
Oct. 18. 1925. This being his
first charge- Other memorable
events were his marriage to
Miss Helen Clough, who has
been an ardent worker for th;
Church along with her hus-
band have taken place. Baby
Conditt made his appearance
to gladden the hearts and cheer
the home of this happy cbuple.
This family leave us with a
great many deeds accomplish-
ed that will be remembered
for years to come. Aside from
the spiritual work of this good
family which stand out and
speaks volumes, we see the
physical and civic work accom.
plished assisted by his mem-
bers. Church debt lifted, re-
modeling of basement of
church and installation of a
modern kitchen, improvement
of the grounds and drivewa>
around the church and many
other improvements in ano
around the church. He was al-
so a leader in civic affairs of
the town and community
During his pastorate 68 new
members have been added to
the church. He has also re
vived and installed many in.
stftutions of the church which
has helped not only his church
but other churches of the town.
Mr. and Mrs. Conditt with
Baby Conditt leaves us with
profound regret by not only
members of his church, but the
entire community. But at the
same time with best wishes for
a larger success in a larger
field.

Mrs- O. H. Britain of Dallas

Mrs. Howard Britain.
the Wylje Morris farm. He
continued teaching there for J
seven years. Later when the
Mesquite Independent school
district was formed he was
made a member and treasurer
of the board of trustees. In
1^07 he became president of
the Ix>ard and held that offic-.-1
for many years. He has always I
maintained lii- interest n thf
•schools and has labored with,
out stint for their improve-
ment.
Mr. Rugel entered the bust-1
ness world as a bookkeeper for
R. S. Kimbrough in 1882. Twi>
years later he entered into tht
implement business here in
partnership with T. F. Nash
and continued in that business
several years, when in Novem-
ber, 1887, Mr..Nash sold his in-
terest to F. C. Rugel, a brother
of J. C- Rugel. and the business
was conducted under the name
of Rugel Brothers. In 1897 G,
A. Rugel, another brother
came here from Tennessee and
bought an interest In the store
On the death of Mr. R, S, Kim-
brough in 1907, he became
president of the First National
Bank and held that position
until 1924 when he resigned to
become Chairman of the Board
of the same institution, This
latter position he held until
his death. Mr. Rugel was a
capable and successful busi-
ness man, but business matters
nevgr clouded his interest in
the personal welfare of those
with whom he dealt For many
people he was ch ef eounseloi
arid helper both in business
and personal matters. He was
a business man of strict princi-
ples and unquestioned honesty,
His Integrity and slncerit.v
drew business to him for peo-
ple easily committed their in-
terests in his hands.
Mr. Rugel has also been
actively interested in civic
matters and politics- He served
one term as Justice of the
Peace in this prec:nct, and
one term in the Texas legis-
lature in h'S yuung manhood.
Later he was councilman and
Mayor of Mesquite. His high
standard of political *th es and
wide acquaintances with men
and issues has made him a
considerable factor in local and
state politics and policies. He
has been advisor to many
candidates and voters and his
influence has ever been wholer
and constructive. All matters
of civic welfare have received
his support and influence.
Mr. Rugel has been a mason,
for many years, fi>st in the old
Scyene lodge until its demiset
and after that a charter mem-
ber and first worshipful piaster
of the Mesquite Lodge,
Probably Mr, Rugel would
best be ranked as a churchman,
for his church has always held I
first place ?n his interests. He
made profession of his faith
during a revival meeting held
in Meaqu tc many years ago.
He later became one of the
founders and charter members
of what is now the First Pres-
byterian Church of Mesquite.
but which was in the Cumber-
land branch until the un'on of
the two churches. He may be
called the builder of this
church and has always .been its
leading member and most ac-
tive worker . He has beeti
Superintendent of Sundav
School teacher of the primary
class, and for several year*
past teacher of the Men's
Bible class. Mr. Rugel mixe I
business and religion very sue,
cessfully for throughout the
week he talked about hi*
church, and his Bible and prac
ticed their teaching*. His reli-
gious interests, like all others,
were wider than his local en-
vironment and he was promi-
nent in the higher church
courts He has several time-
attended General Assembly as
commissioner, synod and pres.
bytery. He was formerly a
Moderator of Dallas Presby-
tery, and Chairman of its com-
mittee on Ministerial Relief
and Sustentation. At the tinv
of his death he was a member
of the Board of Trustees and
of the Executive comnvttce of
Trinity University, Prcsideni.
of Reynolds Presbyterian Or^j
phanage, and chairman c( the
board of the City .Countyj
hospital system. The needy
and the distressed have always
been special objects of his
interest and he has given un-
sparingly of his time and
strength to help them. His
interests have been as wide a*
humanity and he has given
them practical application
whenever opportunity present
ed. Mr. Rugel's life and chnnu
ter have been builded on the
bible and they show its
strength and purity.
