Give that valve a quarter turn, Old Man Texas,
when Uncle Sam needs the oil for national defense
With the pioneer spirit typical of Texans, our oil men have found and
developed petroleum reserves far beyond all civilian and military needs
now indicated.

wells already drilled. This can be done at a moment’s notice without

New Fashions Are “All-American”
The punctual, satisfying relief
from constipation and its headaches,
biliousness, bad breath, so often ex-
perienced by users of this laxative,
is mainly due to its combination of
purely vegetable ingredients.
BLACK - DRAUGHT’S principal
ingredient has high medical recog-
nition as an “intestinal tonic-
laxative”; helps impart tone to
lazy bowel muscles.
A little of this spicy, aromatic
product by simple directions at
bedtime, generally allows time for
a good night’s rest; acts gently
and thoroughly next morning.
Next time, take time-tested, eco-
nomical BLACK - DRAUGHT.

Spring styles this year have their
origin in the creative talents of
American designers. The 1941
Frigidaire electric refrigerator shown
in the picture also is the work of
designers in this country.
Features that express the latest
note of modernity in electric re-
frigerator design are revealed in the
convenience and style offered by
1941 model according to Mr. J. C.
Miller, Frigidaire dealer here, who
states that new models are now on
display at his store.
“One of the important advance-
ments in which women will be es-
pecially interested is the introduction
of improvements in Cold Wall re-
frigerator models. The Cold Wall
type of refrigeration, first introduc-
ed two seasons ago, provides both
moist and dry cold in the same cabi-
net so that foods may be kept for
days without any need for covers on
dishes and without drying out.
“In Cold Wall deluxe models this
year a brand new type of ‘chest’
freezer is used that extends across
the top of the upper compartment.
