Points of Excellence!
When you buy a vehicle buy a good one. You can save a few dollars
by buying a “Cheap Joh n” vehicle, but it isn’t economy in the long
run, nor good sense in the short run. We can save you money on a
buggy or carriage, but you don’t always know it until afterwards.
There are points of excellence about our vehicles that need only to be
seen to win your patronage. Come in and look. Then buy where
you please--but you will at least learn whereto get the most for your
'tA- -. ,• , *'?■

Roy Bounds sent in some
samples of alfalfa raised on the
Bounds Ranch four miles east of
the city, this week. Mr. Bounds
has eight acres in this crop part
of which was planted last spring
and the other was planted in the
fall following. The spring sow
ers will average ten inches in
height and is looking fine. Mr.
Bounds is very highly elated ov-
er the success of his experiment
and has proven that this fine
forage does well in this section.
Alfalfa is worth $18 to $20 per
ton and is the best hay made.
Other farmers would do well to
try a few acres in the crop.—
Walnut Springs Hustler.
