In Brady...
42 Years Ago
By H. L. Lackey
From the File# of Tne Standard, j
Oct. 2‘i and 25, 1912
The patrons of the Brady schools
have received cardw reading: “At
home, faculty of city schools, Wed-
nesday, October 2d, 1912, from 4:30
to 5:30, high school building."
It is understood that the trans-
ferring of the high school to the
building on the north side will he
the main topic for discussion ut the
meeting.
The first of the iyceurn num-
bers to he given in Brady under the
auspices of the Brady Commercial
Club will he Nov. 4th at which
time Booth Lowrey, the noted hum-
orist-lecturer, will appear. This
number is said to he one of the
most interesting of the course. No
one should fail to hear Mr. Low-
rey.
The Conley Mercantile Co., clos-
ed its doois last Thursday night
and Friday made an assignment in
favor of its creditors. The total
liabilities of the firm aggregate
$54,425.27. The assets, including
personal real estate and property
exempt by law, total $20,492.99. (
The Conley Mercantile Co. was
one of the oldest firms in Brady.
For a number of years the firm
occupied by far the largest and
most pretentious business house
in Brady. The firm did an im-,
mense business up to the last three
or four short crop years, when it,
along with other firms, suffered
loss of trade. Mr. Conley has al-
ways conducted an up-to-date dry
goods store and took great person-
al pride in the business. It is a
matter of regret to all his friends
that he was forced to take such a
step.
In view of the lamented death
of J. K. Haze, our County Super-
intendent of Public Instruction, it
becomes the duty of the Demo-
cratic Executive Committee of Mc-
Culloch County, Texas, to nominate
a candidate in lieu of J. K. Baze on
the Democratic ticket of County
Superintendent of Public Instruc-
tion.
I therefore call a meeting of the
Democratic Executive Committee
of McCulloch County, Texas, to
meet at the courthouse in Brady at
2 o'clock p. m. Saturday, October
the 26th, 1912, for the purpose of
nominating a candidate on the
democratic ticket of McCulloch
County for County Superintendent
of Public Instruction of said coun-
ty.
Respectfully,
J. E. Shropshire, County
Chmn. Dem. Ex. Com.

"We have just completed an ex-

have built machines for our plants

showplace of the industry. These
expanded, modern facilities allow
our Pontiac craftsmen to build

"Pontiac has enjoyed a high
place in the esteem of Americans

Many times we see in news-
papers and magazines of the re-
ports of the upswing in church
attendance. The concern of human-
ity in a secure future hote and
hereafter is shown in these heart-
ening reports. However the only
security in this confused and fear
fill world of ours lies deeper than
mere church attendance, fine as
that is. Personal acquaintance with
God uud submission to His will in
our spirits alone can give the
poise and spiritual strength which
is the acknowledged greatest need
of the world in its struggle toward
Peace. The Good Book says, “Fear
of the Lord is the beginning of
wisdom.” The reading of The Book
in times of trouble and stress can
comfort as nothing else can; and
the reading of the treasured vol-
ume daily can give- wisdom and
understanding for rich and abun-
dant living. We trust you read the ,,CHt a,'d humble organization of
to repent of our selfishness and
self-righteousness, whatever the
years of our life, will find u new
and glorified meaning to our earth-
ly existence, and when we come
to death shall find “We Won’t
Have to Cross Jordan Alone.”
We are a “part of all that we

The Basic Idea
Behind the All-New
ms Pontiac
On Display October 29 and 30
ABOUT 30 years ago General Motors Cor-
cV poration presented to America a new
car called Pontiac. 'This new car was the
direct result of a very specific idea.
The idea was this: to create a car which took
its style, its engineering principles and its
features from the very best and most expen-
sive in /America—and to build these into a
car priced just above the very lowest!
Naturally, such an idea produced a wonder-
ful and highly popular car—a car which mil-
lions of satisfied owners have driven with
outstanding pride and pleasure.
Now, nearly three decades later, an entirely
new Pontiac has been created for 1955—a car
completely new from the ground up!
One thing, however, about the 1955 Pontiac
remains unchanged—its basic idea—to offer
the American public the very finest car that
can possibly be built to sell at a price within
easy reach of any new-car buyer.
When you see the new Pontiac on Friday;
or Saturday—Oct. 29 or 30—you will be im-
mediately impressed by its remarkable new
styling. No other car in the world looks like
this new Pontiac!
When you drive it you will be astonished at
its performance. For the 19.55 Pontiac in-
troduces the powerful new Strato-Streak
V-S, an all-new engine that has already been
proved in more than 3 million test miles!
When you price the new Pontiac you will
come face to face with the basic Pontiac
idea—you will be agreeably surprised that
so much car, v> much sparkling newness,
vi much luxury, so much downright good-
ness can be priced vi near the very lowest.
We cordially invite you to come in on Fri-
day or Saturday and see for yourself what a
superb all-new General Motors masterpiece
has been created to carry the* wonderful
name “Pontiac” for 1955.
