THE UNIVERSAL CAR
The Ford Motor Company have instructed us
to sell the genuine Ford Parts to any and every
reliable Garage who will pledge their use in the re-
pair of Ford Cars. The genuine Ford Parts are ab-
solutely necessary to the owner of Ford Cars that
he may get full service from his car. We carry'
them and so, we hope, in a short time will every
reliable Garage. We solicit your service business
beeause we have the Ford Methods, the Ford Parts,
the Ford Mechanics and the Ford prices. Incident-
ally would be glad to get your order- for one or more
Ford cars.
THE K.-T. GARAGE
* it> Marshal Jim Yauce informs the
Star-i ourier that his resignation is
now in itie hands of the city council,
eltective just as soon us a suitable
uian is found tu take iiis place, IB*
tells us that he is not quite ready to
say what he will do in the future, but
in expects to continue living at Plano.
Ascending living costs have gradually
reduced the attractions of the Mar-
shal's office, to which he was over-
whelmingly re-elected last April.
Mr. Vance hits made a good officer.
Holding the office a number of years j
he has been singularly fortunate in
keeping the good will of everybody
The explanation is that tu* lias been
faithful to duty, and at the same time
acts in a quiet, courteous and kindly
way that is not always followed by
the holders of a "little brief authority.”
The Star-Courier hopes lie will make a
fortune in his next employment, al-
though it knows chances are always
against a good honest man making
more than a million or two.
