to furnish you on request. If you contemplate building or remodeling a home, these
plans will no doubt lie a help to you and it will be a pleasure to us to furnish you with
any information possible in planning a home of your own idea. Let us help you with

1’he gross sales of the company in
1922, less returns and allowances,
was $334,845.89. This enormous vol-
ume was secured from the sale of
Ford cars, trucks, tractors and the
famous Oliver tractor implements of
which a complete stock is carried on
their sales tioors at all times.
To conduct this business in the ef-
ficient manner necessary to secure
this handsome volume, they require
the services of 35 employees and the
number of persons wholly or partially
dependent on this industry total 93.
in the sale of this "household ne-
cessity,” their operations have been
confined in past years to only a por-
tion of Matagorda County; territorial
restrictions having recently been re-
moved, they are now operating a full
