TO THOSE INTERESTED IN SECURITY, I J Dear Friends: — Please do not forget to do some thinking along this line: Have 1 a good title to my farm? Have I a good title to my city property? Have I an abstract of its title? Was an abstract ever made of it? How long bave 1 been in possession? If I have no abstract, why didn’t 1 Insist on one .when I bought? Did 1 inherit my farm? Were the court proceedings all regular and proper? Now pleatp remember, nowadays, , when you sell your property and give deed the purchaser demands good title. Then it is up to you to have an abstract made and If there are any defects in your title, to have them corrected. Why not have that abstract made now? We will make it up for you at a reasonable charge. Our office is next door to the postoffice. Respectfully, THE BOWERS REALTY COMPANY. F. M. BCHIRMELEY. FRENCH QUINN.

The garages were all busy storing automobiles and supplying the autoists
