Boling field Tuesday afternoon with
the completion of its first well, the
No. 1 Taylor, at a total depth of 3161
feet. The well late Tuesday had not
cleaned itself of sand and wash water,
and was thought to be increasing its
output. The gravity of the oil was
reported about 30. Several million cu-
bic feet of gas is flowing with the oil.
Sinclair’s No. 1 is located about 350
feet northwest of the discovery well,
and is an offset to the Atlantic’s No.
Mrs. Donald Poole and Miss Louise
Poole showered Miss Bess Storey, the
bride of the week, on Tuesday from
3 to 5. About 30 guests were present.
All participated in the game of
“hearts,” followed by refreshments of
ice cream and cake—with pink rose
petal in candy—the dainty coloi’
scheme of pink being carried through-
out.
Little Frances McClure and Ros-
well Burke, miniature bride and
groom, marched in to the strains of
Lohengrin, and escorted Miss Storey,
the bride-to-be, into the dining
room, where the table awaited her
with its large pink rose—within the
petals of which reposed the gifts of
linen of varied exquisiteness. The af-
fair was one of great charm.

The way to hold new citizens is to
treat them right. Hold down your
rents and watch results. Be reason-
able, courteous, accommodating, if
you want to build up your trade.
Gouging on rents might drive hun-
dreds of dollars worth of trade
from us.

“Not only the satisfaction, but the
actual safety of our car owners is
jeopardized by the widespread use of
imitation repair parts and we are de-

A far reaching plan to insure
uine service repair parts for Dodge
Bi others Motor Cars and Graham
Bi others Trucks and Motor Coaches
is being inaugurated throughout the
United States by Dodge Brothers, Inc.
Under this sweeping move genuine
service parts may be obtained at prac-
tically all reputable repair shops at
minimum cost. Such shops, it is an-
nounced, will now receive parts at a
discount large enough to eliminate all
temptation to use imitation parts and
enable them to do repair work at a
low cost to the car owner. Hereto-
fore, garages outside Dodge Brothers
organization have not received a dis-
count.
This service is being installed rap-
idly through co-operation of dealers
and marks a determined move on the
i part of the factory to protect owners
of Dodge Brothers Motor Cars and
| Graham Brothers Trucks and Motor
| Coaches from substitution of inferior
parts.
To carry into effect this broadened
policy every Dodge Brothers dealer
has been asked to canvas his territory
for service stations and garages where
good workmanship and courtesy pre-
vail, with the idea of enlisting them
in the important work of protecting
customers against counterfeits.
It is also announced that a liberal
discount on parts is now effective to
fleet owners who operate their own
service shops. Fleet owners are de-
fined as individuals or corporations
owning five or more Dodge Brothers
or Graham Brothers vehicles. Both
Dodge Brothers motor cars and Gra-
ham Brothers trucks are exceptionally
popular with business men, who are
necessarily more than casually inter-
ested in dependable performance and
low operating costs. Consequently
there are thousands of these fleets in
operation all over the world whose
owners will benefit by the new dis-
count.
It is expected that the new arrange-
ment with independent garages will
immediately give Dodge Brothers and
Graham Brothers at least 5000
points of contact with their car
truck owners where prompt, reliable
service will be available, at all times.
The number of authorized Dodge
Brothers service stations already is
in excess of 5000.
“Dealers have been asked to use the
utmost care in the selection of ga-
rages with which to deal on the new
basis,” said a factory executive. “We
are cheifly interested in seeing that
our car owners get genuine parts, but
accurate work and reasonable prices
are also to be considered in making
selections. Before summer we expect
to place signs on all garages chosen
