The Same Old Gin . .
But a Brand-New Plant
Our customers this year will find at this gin (he
same eagerness to please them that has always charac-
terized our service, and in addition, a BRAND-NEW GIN
PLANT, the most modern available.
We have just finished installation of a new Conti-
nental Air-Blast Gin Plant, equipped with a Continental
Drying System. Our patrons will find (hat with this in-
stallation, their turnout and sample will be of the best
possible quality, and general all-around satisfaction is
assured.
We extend to our farmer friends an invitation to
inspect this new plant, and permit us to explain to them
the many advantages it will bring to the cotton grower.

Keeping busy?
Yes Sir! We’ve got a bigger
job these days
We’re building telephone systems at army can-
tonments, navy bases, munitions plants —wher-
ever they can use us to speed the job.
And building new lines to these bases ... some-
times stringing them hundreds of miles to places
that used to need only one or two circuits.
Between jobs for the government . . . we’re
adding whatever equipment we can get to our
network of lines and central offices in the
Southwest. . .
While this emergency lasts ... on the biggest
job we’ve ever tackled . . . we’re doing our level
best to serve the nation, and serve you.

One of our city farmers is reported

ing for the government check.

It was stated a day or two ago that
our navy is at war. This war by
piecemeal is something new. We
imagine though that if the navy is at
war, it will not be long unti it will
spread throughout the country.

No matter whether we are New
Dealers or Old Dealers, we all sorrow
with and extend sympathy to our
President in the loss of his aged
mother. Coming as it has when the
President has so many grave and
soul-trying problems with which to
deal, his loss is doubly hard to bear.

The 60-page special edition of the
McKinney Examiner arrived last
week but the writer has been so busy
he has not even found time to turn
through it page by page. We have it
in a place of safe-keeping and will
look over it: later, expecting to fino
much of interest in its 60 pages.
When we have done this we shah
probably have more to say about this
fine big paper.

The summer just ended and the fall
just beginning have been unusual. It
has been a long time since we had
summer rains that, fell at the right
time to provide moisture for growing
vegetation. At no time has the ground
been baked or vegetation suffered for
moisture. It has been a good garden
yew and up to this time has been
very favorable for a fall garden It
behooves everyone to produce every-
thing he can to be used for food. Bet-
ter that some go to waste than not
to have enough.

Rising prices are frequently sub-
jects of conversation these days when
the upward trend assumes the veloc-
ity of a skyrocket. Everyone lays.it
on the other fellow. “We had to in-
crease our price because the other fel-
low jacked his up.” There must have
been some fellow to start prices sky-
ward. Whoever he is, he certainly has
started something to add to the woes
of the buying public. When World
War No. 3 comes along we should
delegated to someone the authority
and make it his duty to keep an eye
peeled for this “other fellow” and
shoot him on the spot the moment
he tries to start this price-raising
game.

GIANT
PENNY
PAYS THE WAY TO
(rette* living
Any penny becomes a giant penny when spent for
electricity because it buys so much service. Just
think of getting a ringside description of a cham-
pionship fight, and an hour of musical entertain-
ment, plus an hour’s dramatic performance over
your radio ... all for one penny.
Ordinarily we think of a penny buying a stick of
gum or a piece of candy .. but, when spent for
electricity it takes on real importance. It buvs
freedom from drudgery for mother, better light
for the family and countless conveniences. Some
examples are shown at the right and left in this
space.
Enjoy the buying power of pennies . . . spend
them for T. P. &.L. low-cost electricity' and watch
them work like giants for you.
. . . per person per meal
will cook your food in
on electric cooker.
...will operate your
electric washer to do
the weekly washing.
...will run your mixer
half an hour a day for
more than four days.
This Company is meeting not only the electric
service needs of its customers today for comforts
and conveniences at borne, hut also the power
needs of National Defense as well . . . and is
ready to meet the increased needs of tomorrow.
.. . will give you Better

lamp for two hours.
