* “The paths of glory lead but to the grave.” Written two hundred years ago, the finality of the truth set down by Thomas Gray is impressed on our minds more and more each time we follow the remains of a loved one to their last resting place. As time lightens the pain of the loss, we realize that our only consolation is in preserving the glory of the memory of that one who has gone on. That glory, which is not the mere glory of material achievement of which Gray speaks, lives on. All that we can do to remind ourselves of the glory of that loved one makes us better men and women. Our thoughts turn naturally to monuments of stone, of granite and marble because there is something so indestructible about such monuments,

FRIZELL BATTERY SERVICE With Headquarters in South Bend, Located at 314 S. St. Joe St., Under the Competent Management is a Battery Station That is Becoming Increasingly Popular Because of the High Grade of Work Turned Out. Selected By the Willard Organization to Be Its Representative in This Community. Equips Cars With Still Better \X illard. Repair Work Done On All Makes of Batteries. I heir Men Are Experts On Starting, Lighting and Ignition Systems. Ask About the Willard Charged Bone-Dry Battery. Mr. ( has H. Frizell, the Owner and Manager, Is a Man of Wide Experience. Prior to Coming to South Bend, Mr. Frizell Spent Over Fifteen years With the W illard Storage Battery < orporation Proper, Serving in Capacity of Factory Superintendent, National Service Manager For and the Last Eight Years, He Was District Manager For the Chicago Branch. I Ie Is a Battery Man From Head to Foot. He has the Reputation of Being the Best Battery Man in This Part of the Country.

When the owner determined to start a starting, lighting and ignition battery service station, he did no halfway job. He knew in the first place that the installation of the most complete equipment for battery repair would pay him best in the long run. He knew, too, that it wo ild be utter folly to employ any other but the most expert workmen. This policy has been followed consistently with the result that this battery service station without much question ranks first in popularity among motorists. Auto owners know here that their batteries will be given every possible attention. The small job will receive the same careful, painstaking workmanship as the battery which has to be entirely overhauled. The district branch of the Willard Battery organization was quick to recognize the quality’ of the type of work done by this service station with the result that it was made the Willard service station for this community. This enables the station to equip your car when your old battery wears out, with the newest typo of Willard Battery which is the “Still Better Willard.” The name of this battery sounds paradoxical as it is

Nikart Motor Sales Co. With Up-to-Date Headquarters in South Bend Located at 333 S. Main St., is One of the Highly Efficient Automobile Firms of this Community and Official Representatives and Service Station for the Famous Chrysler and the Good Maxwell. Also Home of the Packard.

That wonder car of easy riding—] the Chrysler Six—stands out today! as the only car that has the greatest! number of scientific achievements all! placed on one car for the expressed! benefit of the driver and passengers.] No other car can approach it in its] appearance and easy riding qualities.! This local agency has done well 1- i choose sue a car as the Maxwell and] Chrysler because they can meet now | other that has the unqualified approv-] al of all the people in this community.] The engineering advancements that! have been made on this car are of! sfleh a nature that the average per-r son can w'ell understand their meanilng. The greatest achievement that has been made is the safety element. No cautious driver will ever drive a car that he feels has any tendency to turn turtle or slip sideways on the road around a sharp curve. The lives of the ones with whom he is travelling are too precious to take any such risks. The Chrysler engineers to meet this condition and render the car perfectly safe have designed this ear with an unusually low center otl’ gravity, an absolutely perfect weight] distribution and a new method of] spring suspension. With all of these] new improvements, the most careful! motorist can ride with a feeling ol] perfect safety when he knows that’ everything about the car is made with a view to greater safety in driving at] moderate and high speeds. I The dragging and tired feeling that! is the result of long drives is a thing* of the past. Thanks to the ChrysleiL engineers, they have produced a caT that is free from that vibration inf the body and wheels that is so tire- ' some to the driver. Gone is that dizzy feeling after long rides if we only use this c: r whose very speed is exhilerating. There is no sidesway whatsoever at. speeds as great as GO miles per hour. This feat is a pecliar Chrysler triumph. The local agency is always glad at any and all times to. erive demonstrations that point out all'

something as indestructible as the memory of those who an no more. Where is th? individual of sentiment who does not love to wander in a graveyard? He likes to because on every side stand memorials which time does not destroy nor age bring to the ground. We like to think of the famous personages of the country whose memories have been written on the hearts of men—Lincoln, Washington and many more. Yet the memory in our hearts is not enough. Overlooking the Potomac is the wonderful Washington monument, the magnificent Lincoln memorial erected that the people of these United States and of the world may have almost everlasting remembrances of these two great figures. The man who buys a monument for

hard to conceive of a better battery than Willard has turned out in the past but Willard experts believe that they have made some important improvements in this latest product of their skill. A new insulation feature for example—the threaded rubber insulation—makes reinsulation unnecessary. The insulation is guaranteed to last as long as the battery. The Willard Bone-Dry Battery is Sealed to keep it bone dry; chargeci ready to start the car: filled on the day it was sold so you will get all its life in the car. That’s the Willard Charged Bone-Dry Battery, and then is no other automobile battery like it. The life of a storage battery starts the very minute acid or dampness comes in contact with its plates. Never lose sight of this fact in buying a battery. Life has started if the battery is filled or if the insulation is damp. Life cannot start while the battery is kept bone dry. Now, that is why’ a Willard Charged Bone-Dry’ Battery can’t get old before it’s sold: and why Willard Service Stations fill this battery in your presencee. The fact is, that Threaded Rubber Insulation makes it possible for Willard to build the only Charged Bone-

Everyone reallizes that a car may be a wonder car ■in many respects and yet eat such a ■large hole into the upkeep that it is ]iinpractical to keep. Such is not the 9:ase w'ith this automobile. This great ■saving in gasoline can only be accom- ■ plished by the fact that there is an I even and new distribution of the gasuoline to the cylinder—a Chrysler j feat. h All the cars come with standard equipment of balloon tires which add materially to the already perfect ridng Chrysler Six. Over any and all kinds of roads, into and out of holes at high speed—always that same Pullnan like riding. The drifting becomes a joy and underneath it all lies that great thing that all people demand, economy and cheapness in naintenance. Special oil filters and air cleaners are used in the inside I working machinery and all of these make toward longer life and low maintenance costs. The good Maxwell is thus fulfilling with almost startling success, the mission its makers proclaimed four years ago, when they announced that—“ The jnew and powerful organization now □manufacturing the good Maxwell is ■able to give and proposes to give, moTor car values so unmistakable that ■they cannot remain for a moment in j question.” The local agency realizes Inthat there is a great responsibility {connected with the handling of this ’car and they stand ready at all times to show just why they believe they are handling the best car on the market.

Owner of Firm Leader in Community ProEvery business man wishes to meet the public's needs. This is his sole reason and sole justification for existence. Furthermore this is his n ans of survival; the business man who cannot please the public goes down in that list of so many thousands of receiverships and failures published each year. Am l the public is not easy to phase. Os course, no one except the corner grocer can hope to carry products which please all the public. There an too many different kinds of people for that. Fortunately community lines put some limitations on the type of public ,o be pleased. So the question reduc« - tself to practically this: every b- - ; m-ss man must please the gr* ater par of available customers in hi par c :iar community. This is no hss a problem -f he automobile dealer than any o her business man. He must II a pro-' >ct which phases the greater part o r his public. This enterprising busin ss man deciding to go into the automobile busines in this communitv wanted a ear which would please the public. He knew that to please he majority he must sell a car no less than the best in appearance ami performance and a< the .same time- at a cost within the r< ach of all. So, after careful study, he chose the Paige and Jewett, believeing that here was a combination which would please at h ast ninetv per cent of the available

In order that their ability may be used to the greatest possible advantage, they have possessed themselves of equipment which is not surpassed anywhere.

In every field of manufacture here is always some product that leads the entire field in general satisfaction and serviceability. We always look for that product when we are thinking of making a purchase. We know that there we w ill get the best that there is and that with every article there is a guarantee. The same holds true in the automobile industry* Ask any car owner what car it is that he uses as a standard and there will be only one answer—Reo. It matters not whether or not it is in the field of passenger cars or trucks it is always the Reo. In order to meet this need in our own community the local Reo Sales Company was established. They have brought to us the very best that there is on the market in the automobile line. Let us examine the reasons why this car should stand out above al! of the rest. For indeed there is no car that can compare with the new 20th Anniversary Reo Sedan in the least. It is acknowledged the best. Reo engineers have developed a type of gear shift that is peculiar to the Reo. It alone can give the best service to the driver and is so arranged that it wid give the handiest operation in ti- ies of emergency. The engine is of the latest type and specially designed for the new models. The thrill that comes from the steady hum of the motor gives the owner that nroud feeling of possession of a truly wonderful piece of machinery. Everything that goes into the Reo is of standard quality ami make and the m t result is a car that leads all others today in sabs to satisfied owners. The best recommendation that can be attached to it is the large host of car owners who would drive no other car than a Reo. Our local agency proudly points to the ever increasnig number of Reo owners anti their phenomenal success is based upon the sale of the best car on the market. The new models that are on exhibition in the local sales rooms are customers. Results prove that his judgment was not wrong. ‘‘The most beautiful car in America”—this indeed is the Paige. Beautiful not only in apearance and performance but beautiful to drive and ’ ride in. Responsive to every need, they are equally the favorite of men and women. They are the car supreme on any boulevard and the acknowledged champion on every hill And yet moderately priced. The Paige holds its own anywhere and yet is not a white elephant of expense. i But there are those people who , wish a car that serves as well as any but are w illing to sacrifice some of i the added luxuriant features to sc-1 cure a car at a more moderate price. For such people the Jewett is ideal, | Built to stand the tear of hard every-

HART OF RADIO The Radio Laboratories Os South Bend Located at 107 West Jefferson Boulevard, Surprises all By the Completeness of Its Supplies. Popular Prices On All Goods. Beautiful Display of All Modern Radio Improvements. Free Installation of Sets. All Kinds and Sizes Carried Complete. Leadership of Store in Line is Unquestioned. Men Outstanding in Community Affairs.

It is a fact that everyone must have some sort of amusement. It remains for that inividual to choose his sort of recreation. There are many times that he cannot go out. There are many times that he does not like to leave the evening paper and quiet of his own home. Many times there are other pieces of work to be done and there is no time to go to some sort of entertainment. The fact still remains that there must be some sort of helpful amusement. The answer can only be mound in that v. onder invention of the present century—the radio. By means of it we can sit in our own homes and listen to the very best in concerts, in educational work, in entertainment and the presentation of every-day problems. To meet this demand that is on a rapid increase in our community this local radio store is carrying the most complete line of radio equipment of any store in this section of the country. We cannot afford to miss all of the good things that are “on the air” every day and night. We lose our contact with the problems confronting the public if we do not hear discussions of them from time to time. We lose our artistic appreciation for good music as well as good dance music if w-e do not hear it once in a while. We cannot plea that we do not have the time for we must remember that the world will forget that we exist some day and it will not take time to regret us. We must enjoy the things that are within our reach. Indeed, all of these things are w.ithin the reach of the pocketbook of

the very essence of beauty itself. The lines are perfect and the increased riding case is one of their outstanding features. Comfort in every sense of the won! is demonstrated in every feature. For those of us who depend upon our business success for reliable trucking service it is well to look at the Reo Speed Wagon. Its very name and reputation means reliability, speed and roominess. The body adaptability of the Speed Wagon cannot be equalled. As a result of numerous tests, it has been found that the average load capacity of this Reo is greater than a large number of heavier and more expensive trucks. The chassis sturdiness is a marvel of the present age and it is a tribute to the Reo designer and builders. The lightness of the car and its ability to get around in all places quickly cannot but impress favorably those who are most skeptical. There is no safer i ruck that can be purchased anywhere for the money. Everything that the t ek owners need is included in the standard equipment of this truck. We could prove all of these things "1 sell the passenger and commercial cars for a much higher figure but it is a policy to give the car owners the very best that can be secured with the least cost. Sticking to this so important a policy, the Reo has emerged long ago from its infancy and is the leader today for all cars that are offered at the extremely low price. Highest quality at the lowest price is the secret of the Reo’s success. The very fact that the local men in th? Reo agency appreciated the need in this community’ for something that is the best, shows clearly that they have only the interest of the people at heart. By many’ other actions have they shown that they are among the most philanthropic in our city. Theirs is not the kind of giving that is broadcasted to the wua)e wo;]^ but it is the giving at all times and to all needs. They are real assets. day use, yet superbly designed for a light six, the Jewett meets ideally the needs of the average man or woman. Paige built, the Jewett must measure up to the Paige standard. “Perfect j control at all speeds” is the Jewett slogan, and to sit behind the steering w heel of one of these snappy cai-s is to realize the truth of this slogan. But this combination alone has not been the secret of this dealer’s success. His service has been equal in quality with the product he sells. To : buy from this firm once is to go back i when one wishes a new model. His garage and show rooms are a place of । pride in the town. But the owner of ; this company is a leader in civic projects as we!) as in business circles ian individual of real value in the communitv.

the poor and the rich alike. For a comparative small outlay, the best in this country in all kinds of talent is at the “turn of our hand.” We do well to take advantage of this. There are many types and prices advertised everywhere and we do not know which to believe is the best. If we take a careful comparison of the prices of the best of those that are advertised and compare them with those that are offered by the local radio store on their standard sets, we will find that we will make a great saving by purcasing those that are offered at the local store. They carry only those sets that are known to be the best and they can guarantee them. Any price set can be secured here. Any questions about radio work will be cheerfully answered. The sets are installed free of charge to the purchaser and he has that feeling of satisfaction in know ing that the work is done right. All the latest improvements, and there are more being added as the day-- go by, will be found in this modern store. Anything that car. be done to contribute to the greater satisfaction of purchasers is courteously anti efficiently done This store is a leader in its line and the men who compose this company stand among the highest in our community. They offer to tie public the best that there is in radio supplies. There is no demand on the part of the public too great that they will not quickly and efficiently fulfill.
