HOOSIER AUTO ASS N SEEKING MORE MEMBERS Warns Against ‘Purely Commercial’ Organizations Operating in State. Announcing a State-wide drive to augment the personnel of the Hoosier State Automobile Association, and, locally, the Hoosier Motor Club, A. G. Lupton of Hartford City and Guy Jeffries of this city have jointly issued a statement to automobile owners of Indiana warning them of the activities of agents for purely commercial organizations pretending to be motor clubs. ••The Hoosier State Automobile Association and its various local branches throughout the State have nothing of the commercial in their make-up." says the statement. “The Hoosier organizations have been here for twenty years working for the interests of every owner of an automobile all the time and all owners of motor cars have received benefits, whether they were members of these associations or not. Therefore, as a purely civic proposition, we feel it is our duty to advise motorists of Indiana that membership in associations not affiliated with the American Automobile Association Is simply a membership in a commercial organization operated for the benefit of the officers solely. Our organization is mutual and cooperative and onr sole reason for urging more motorists to join us Is that we may do more and better work continually for every owner of a motor car in the way of continuing our splen- j did legislative work and our fight f r better roads, road marking and better protection for automobile owners.’’ LAWS OBTAINED BY HOOSIER ASSOCIATION'. The statement cites legislation pro- j cured at the last session through the work of the Hoosier State Automobile Association, notably the law requiring registration of title of ownership of all : motor vehicles, known as an abstract title law. which will destroy the market ; for stolen cars. j “We killed legislation which would have added nearly $3,000,000 in additional taxes on Indiana motorists; we procured a minimum penalty of three years for auto theft; we were able to strengthen the highway commission law; we pre- i vented the emasculation of the county unit road laws; we secured legislation re- j quiring contractors and road officials who block a road to put up a barrier and red light at night and mark the detour all the way round; we eliminated the so- . called ‘constable graft’ in cities of the first, second and third class, and the new county road patrol law procured by our efforts, it is estimated, will save at least 1100 a year in wear and tear on every automobile that used the highways. This Is only a part of the work our as- J sociation is constantly doing. Three of our pole-marking outfits are now at work in the State and our Touring Information j Bureau is constantly in touch with road conditions on all main traveled high- I ways. We feel that if Indiana automo- j bile owners could only realize what the Hoosier State Automobile Association is doing for their benefit they would insist ; on coming in and helping with this pro- ; gressive work. The more selfish an automobile owner is. the stronger the rea gon why he should assist us. because we , are working for him all the time.” CALIFORNIA CU B PI'RELY COMMERCIAL. ! It is pointed out that recently some es- i fort has been made to sell membe-rshlps in a so-called automobile club having ' headquarters in I.os Angeles. The statement asserts that information concerning j this organization is to the effect that it; is purely commercial. “We are advised that the foanler of this organization is now in the penifentiarv for obtaining money under false pretenses and that several additional charges are pending against this man." says the statement. The organization is conducted by the officers as their own personal property, for personal gain solely, and alleged benefits off-red are most'y mythical, as Is quickly discovered. For- | tunately, we find that Indiana people are j disposed to be loyal to their own civic , organizations and these false gods are j not succeeding in their plans for person- ; al gain." The Hoosier State Automobile Association, it is stated, is assisting Secretary of State Ed Jackson in setting up th“ n-oes-sary organization throughout the State so that all motor mhioles may be reregistered early in June when the new laws go into effect. The club's member ship campaign is to be carried on during the ninety-day period in which anto- j mobile owners are required to register their vehicles ns to title of ownership.

How Pettis Prices Have Come Down in 1921 This tabulation pictures graphically the great reduction in prices that has gone on during the past year in this store. The public may buy here with full confidence. Even during the high price period, when wholesale costs m ounted terrifically, this store held its prices down to the minimum. Today we do not let up for a moment in our determinatio nto hold prices down to the lowest possible level. Every day we refuse to buy certain merchandise where prices seem to be still to o high, ajid with every new purchase of goods at lower rates, of course, our retail prices go down to the new basis—the whole sto re being on the new replacement basis every day. To give some tangible idea of how low the prices are in specific stocks, we present a detailed list of new prices compared with those of May 1, 1920, on regular stocks as they are now in this st ore at this time. With our regular stocks on the new low level of prices, we shall offer during May, at special prices—still lower—whatever a careful scrutiny of the market and unlimited buying power will produce. The Pettis policy is to sell at the lowest possible prices at al 1 times, because we believe that the growth of a business depends on the confidence of the public, and public confidence is only gained by safeguarding its interest. You can be satisfied that we will not let you spend a dollar in this store without giving you a dollar’s worth of value.
