What sentiments one attaches to pictures! Not long ago a business man was sitting in his club telling a few of his friends this story: he had been away from home on Christmas, and was unavoidably detained in a strange city. He sat in his hotel room and tried to forget the signifigance of the ocecasion. When looking in his grip for something to read, he quite by accident, noticed a photograph folder in the bottom of the grip. His wife had packed his clothes and placed under them the favorite portrait of their little curlyheaded daughter. i Anyone who has been away from the family on Christmas knows how much that homesickness is alleviated by being able to look at the pictures of loved ones. And pictures are a comfort also to the ones at home, for we may quite well imagine that a lonely wife stole away often that Christmas day to look into the eyes of that photograph on her dressing ;table. Particularly at lonely times are pictures a comfort. How much more of a comfort they are, too, if they .are good pictures. How we like to say of our pictures: “This looks, exactly like Nellie.” or “Isn’t that one just the way Bill looked that last night I saw him?” And if pictures of babies are good—well, words just can’t describe our delight. When the people of this community think of good pictures, there comes in the same thought the name of this well-known studio which for years 'has been the place where diseriminating people have been photographed: Most adults—and for that matter many children—dread going to a photographer almost as much as they

This only serves to bring out the claims made for the Oldsmobile and establishing it as a car of service for all time. The reasons back of Oldsmobile Six success—the reasons why more than forty thousand diseriminating wmen and women have already bought this car-—can be summed up like this: Oldsmobile Six combines sterling quality, six-eylinder performance, fine appearance and unusual comfort with low price. The coupe, for instance, has a Fisher body with real comfort for four passengers.

In addition to the general service implied in these lines of work, the company is prepared to furnish skilled work in special lines. New parts are made for many varied machines, and parts repaired. Regrinders have invested thousands of dollars in special machinery for refinishing worn motor eylinders by the regrinding process. Highly trained mechanics are employed to operate this equipment because it requires u specialist to work to the accuracy of one-half thousandth of an inch. The business of regrinding and motor rebuilding is very necessary to the car owner, if he expeets to obtain the very best service from his buy. Not so very long ago, owners generally did not know what the process of regrinding a motor block was, or when it needed regrinding. Now they are able to diagnose their own trouble, and when they notice their own trouble, and when they notice an excessive use of gas and oil, smoking, with fouling of spark plugs, they know the cause. Now take this tip. If you want a job well done and a price that’s easy to pay, drive into this modern service station and l<t them do the job. When yvou drive out and step on it you'll say it's the answer to buying another scason’s satisfactory running.

[n addition to knowing the art of tazking pictures perfectly, this photographer has that even rarver art of making people feel at ease when being photographed. Perfectly natural-look-ing pictures are the result. The subjects are seen at their best. There is not that strained expression of a pose. The writers of this edition have never, even in metropolitan centers, had the privilege of visiting such a perfectly equipped studio. Complete electrical equipment allows for every kind of lighting effect, thus making it possible to photograph perfectly the most difficult profile. There is a wide choice, too, of shades and sizes in the finished pictures. This is important inasmuch as just a certain type of finishing best expresses the subject’s personality. Then the studio is so inviting looking. So many studios have just a few bare furnishings, some odd looking chairs and queer looking screens. This spacious studio reminds one of an attractive drawing room. In addition to individual portraits of adults, this photographer specializes in pictures of children. No one is so inhuman not to want pictures of their children. The unusual collection of baby pictures on the walls of this studio is eloquent evidence that this photographer understands taking children’s pictures.

Real Need in this Community is ~ Met by These Men in This Company. Fire, Theft, Collision, Liability and Property Damage Insurance Are Some of Their Features. Exhaustive Compilation of Figures Shows Interesting Conclusions. Men Are Assets to This Community in Business as Well as a Personal Way.

That old axiom that “All roads lead to New York,” has a parody that some of us think about in “All roads i lead to auto damage.”” It is a strange sight any more if we go along a road i and do not see somewhere along it some auto that has been rammed or | has bumped something. All kinds of | mishaps may come to your auto. Theft, fire, accident, liability, all kinds of trouble for the motorist who thinks that he can get by without insuring himself. A look at statistics will disprove this. All that we have to do is to look at the figures as they are presented to us by our local automobile insurance company. These figures will speak for themselves. | It is true that you can “kid” the world into believeing anything but you cannot kid yourself out of an accident and resulting suit in court. I'hat is as true a statement as ever was written. The papers are full of court suits and many times the inno- | cent party has to pay for the accident when in reality it was not his fault. The question is ‘“How may I avoid getting into trouble; or how may I insure myself so as to suffer the least loss?” Insurance, of course, is our only answer. Your answer is that it is very expensive. The facts are that it is not expensive when you take into consideration that you might ram another machine, or that you might have your machine stolen or that you might run over a child. You are a careful driver but that does not insure you against those who are not so careful as yourself. The court today look upon the driver as usually at fault and it will go hard with those who are not prepared. Putting it as a common sense business proposition, the whole idea simmers down to this, “Is it easier to stand a court suit myself and hire my own lawyers to fight the case or is it | better to have internationally known lawyers retained by this insurance

AFEE Good accounting systems are a valuable asset to any business. They insure an orderly method of handling the administrative funections of the business as well as accuracy in handling the purely detail items which are so necessary in any well organized successful business. An efficient executive in any business cannot bur‘den himself with all the details of the -accounts on the books, and the ins ‘and outs due to the extensions of credits, collections, cash balance, ete. On the other hand he is vitally interested in the results obtained as shown monthly by the books of account and he must have the assurance the results are accurate to the extent of aeceptance by him in the policy to be pursued in future purchases, sales prices and his other administrative duties. Red tape, top heavy and burdensome records are no longer desired by the progressive business man of today. Instead he is interested in results obtained and in knowing the

company fight my case where the company has ample resources at its command?” This is the question we have to decide for ourselves. If we are the kind of business people who have good judgment we will immediately say that the insurance company has it. The local auto insurance dealer represents a firm which is internationally known and which has the best lawyers in the world at its command. The insurance company takes care of all the details and we pay a slight fee that more than repays us in services that we receive. What more could we ask for than this. The loecal men who form this company feel that they are offering to the people of this community a real service. Think of it! In the slightest instance of trouble, all that we have to do is to notify the local company and they take care of all the rest.

It is only the business man who thinks that he can beat the inevitable game that thinks that auto insurance is bunk and that he will get by without damage. Statistics show that there is not a driver in the world who has not at some time rammed something or been rammed. You cannot get around that fact. The thing is for you to insure vourself against these accidents. The very best that is offered anywhere in the field of auto insurance is offered by these local men. The maximum of protection with a minimum of premium is the motto of their company. The wise auto owner will do well to consult them and study their low terms.
