Is becoming more popular daily, and is going a long way
toward solving the labor problems. The Columbia Re-
fining Co., incorporated under the laws of the State of
Texas, with a paid-up capital of $500,000, is building a
string of filling stations in Texas. They are offering a
limited amount of the stock in each town where the sta-
tions will be built. They have purchased the lot on the
comer of East Houston avenue and Columbus street in
Marshall, where they will build very soon a modern Fill-
ing-Station and Rest-Room. This station will be handled
by our own towrman, Frank E. Wood.
Only a small amount of stock is allotted to each city.
With each share of Profit-Sharing stock, you receive a
like amount of stock in the Refining Company; you re-
ceive a quarterly dividend on the Profit-Sharing stock
until you receive 100 per cent, then that stock is retired,
and you still own and draw annual dividends on the Cap-
ital Stock certificates so long as you own them.
Stock for sale in amounts of $25 to $500. Come at once
if you want a safe, double-paying dividend investment.
The undersigned will be glad to show you all about the
plan and accept your order for stock.

Dallas County, outside of Dallas city, lost

the city of Dallas there was an increase of several
thousand. The trend is all wrong, this leaving the
farms for the city.

had 32 acres in wheat this year and thrashed out
416 bushels. Last year he made less than one-
fourth that amount. Now this farmer in read-
ing the papers the other day saw where a certain
union has passed a resolution that the givern-
ment fix the price next year for wheat at $1.00
per bushel. And this Pan Handle man being a
little inquisitive writes down to Dallas and finds
out that the union scale for this particular union
is $1.00 per hour. In other words a member of
the union makes enough every hour to buy a
bushel of the farmer’s wheat if congress should
fix the price as suggested by the union. The
farmer objects and wants congress to make the
price $5.00 per bushel. And so there you are.
