NO RED TAPE WITH US
Some money lending agencies are so set up that a lot of
“red tape" is necessary for a borrower to get a loan.
Such aggravating restrictions are practically all elimi-
nated in a bank loan. Contact between bank and borrower
is close, friendly, intimate. This contact is remote and
impersonal in money lending agencies whose headquar-
ters are a long way off.....
Bring your loan problems to us. Our simple, direct
method of lending will surprise you.

as co-polit on a "Flying Fortress.”
The mission was to bomb oil fields
near Bleachheimer. Germany. The
plane was reported "in trouble"
by its radio operator, and was
later reported leaving the forma-
tion under control. No other word
was received comcerning Lt. Tim-
berlake's fate until his remains
were found, after the war, in a
grave at Vranjesi, near Banja
Luka, Yugoslavia.
The body was later disinterred
and moved to Belgrade, and still
later to Italy, where it remained
until it was shipped to the United
States.

mother; three brothers, Arlin of
San Francisco, Calif.. Jack of
Levelland and Charlie Jr., of Ft.

FUEL FOR THE FARM
Thousands of farmers and others living beyond the city
gas mains are enjoying the comfort and convenience of gas service
with butane or propane produced by United Gas and distributed
by local dealers. Natural gas containing liquid hydrocarbons
is passed through processing plants operated by United
to extract butane, propane, kerosene, natural gasoline and other
liquefied petroleum gases. This means greater royalty income
for land owners and producers, and modern conveniences
for rural families to equal those of their city cousins.
This is another example of the way the American Business System
works to bring better living to your community.
