OUR SERVICE
And What It Means To You
•
Investigate Your Implement
Needs Carefully.
Whatever You Need—Repairs or New
Implements-We Can Supply
To Your Satisfaction.
You wouldn’t spend money to
have an old pair of shoes half-
soled and re-heeled, when the up-
pers are about ready to break
through, would you ?
The same principle can be ap-
plied when you study whether
you will repair an old implement
or replace it with a new one.
There is only one question to
consider:
Will the old implement, when
repaired, give you full service
for at least this year ?
“Pretty good” service will not
be enough. It is never enough,
and especially not this year
when good prices for farm prod-
ucts will put a premium on extra
bushels and extra tons.
if you can repair any of your
implements for full service, that
will be real economy, and we are
anxious to help you put that
economy into effect.
You can meet your repair
needs to your full satisfaction
through our repair service.
If repairing thg implement
doesn’t assure the best of serv-
ice, it will pay you to come to our
store and select a new imple-
ment.
Investigate your needs now.
and remember that we are ready
to furnish whatever you need to
your satisfaction.

TOM GRIM LAND BUYS
JOHN GEORGE HOME
K —
Tom GrunTand has been dealing in
real estate this week. He first sold
his home place on Jefferson street to
Clayton Alderdice at a consideration
of $6,500. • Then he bought a 200
acre farm from Clayton Alderdice, five
miles west of Milford, at a price of
$15,500. This gave Tom a good farm,
but he is not a farmer, so he had to
have a place to live. He has, there-
fore, closed a deal with John George
for the George homestead on West
Main street at a consideration of
$10,000 and expects to get possession
of the place as soon as the papers are
passed.
Mr. GtYmland is buying the George
homestead as his permanent home
in Waxahnchie. This is one of the
prettiest places in all the city with
its large terraced lawn and high al-
titude. Mr. and Mrs. Grimland ex-
pect to move there at an early date.—
Waxahachie Light.

Mr. and Mrs. George Elkins of the

were wanted at once to haul lum-

gentlemen proceeded to the lumber
yard and contracted for several
thousand feet of lumber; by this
time wagons had been secured and
the work of hauling lumber began.
In the meantime a strange scene
was taking place out west of town,
barely one and u half miles in a lit-

of John' Cornwell. Uncle Matt had

FORMER MERIDIANITE
SUCCESSFUL IN OIL
If you want service, call us,
Lovelady Brothers.
Under the above heading the Inde-
pendent Press is furnishing to its hun-
dreds of subscribers, located all over
the United States, write-ups and por-
traits of America’s leading oil men,
and in a late issue of the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram, one of its subscribers,
appeared the following regarding a
former Bosque county boy:
T. f\ Adams is one of the new oil
kings of Texas. He was first an at-
torney and then tried the life insur-
ance game as a more lucrative fol-
lowing. Several years ago he went to
Wichita Falls as district manager for
the National Life Insurance Company
and later was connected with other
companies. His profession led him
into the oil fields of Electra, Burk-
burnett and Petrolia, where he came
in close touch with oil men and the
producing end of the game.
Adams caught the oil fever and two
years ago renounced all else that he
might devote all his energies to the
new business. With his associates he
did considerable development in Wich-
ita county and then was among fhe
first to see the possibilities of the
Ranger district. It was Adams and
his associates who drilled the first
well on the Brashear property south
of Hanger, the well that for months*
was the sensational gasser and then
began flowing oil at the rate of about
300 barrels daily. ‘
Lately Adams has been operating
extensively in the newly discovered
Burkburnett field with the result that
his fortune has been further increas-
ed. His interests now extend from
the Red River to.Comanche county.—
