You Say All
Groceries Are the Same
Everywhere
Thia ia a mistaken idea. True Grocers may buy
from the same wholesale house the very same
Groceries but there is a great difference in the
way in which they are kept and handled by the re-
tailer. You will be pleased with our service. Let us
have your order either in person or over the phone
and we will do the rest.

CHAMBER OF COMMERCE
The Plain UnvarnUhed Truth
There hss never been a commun-
ity organization but which at various
time in its history has been the re-
cipient of a liberal share of hard
"knocks" and criticism. Constructive
criticism is always in order and is
the prerogative of every good citi-
zen who is honestly doing his share
toward the upbuilding and progress
of his town or community. But the
sad fact remains that much of this
caustic comment is without founda-
tion and cannot be verified or sub-
stantiated and the vast majority of
self-appointed critics are without a
"leg" to stand upon in their unjust
fault finding. "It is an unfortunate
habit of human nature to disapprove
of that which is not understood" is
a statement which cannot be refut-
The Lubbock Chamber of Com-
merce is not different in this respect
from other community organizations.
It has received its full quota of
"knocks" Bnd "boosts" of criticism
both just and unjust. Sometimes it
would seem that the "knrcks" and
unjust criticisms are vastly in the
majority yet a question which ia
continually buzzing around in the
bark of our heads is "Do these
knockers really have a right to find
fault with this organization?"
The time is ripe for a general for-
ward movement in Lubbock and
we believe from evidence apparent
and manifested on every side that
this development cannot be kept back
or appreciably retarded; and the goal
and desire of the Chamber of Com
merre is to make Lubbock and this
community the best one on the Plains

J. I Case Implements
and Wallis Tractors
Two important helpers on the farm. We have a full
line of the famous J. I. Case Implements and this is the
first time this famous farm implement has ever been sold
here.
We want you to ee the model 13 and the non-skid lister on the floor. The
two liaters furnish you a great many feature and adjustments that i not ac-
quirable on any other lister easily adjusted and much lighter of draft than
thought for.
We also have the new seat guide cultivator with four and six shovels which
is a wonder in the construction and operation of cultivators.

apolis an Overland 4 stock car covered an
average of more than 778 miles each day for
7 days.
The success of this severe test Is another proof
of the quality of material in the Overland 4

('pciintr beyond the wildest hope of
the planners and dospit the works
of any knockers or unjust rntirs
who are attempting to block its prog-
reas. The Chamber of Commerce can-
not be aurcessful in all of its under-
taking. There is no business or in-
dustry on the fare of the earth but
what has had and is still having its
"ups and down." but the organiza-
tion which honestly tries to succeed
merits the unqunlified support of ev-
ery live wire citizen who believes in
his community and has faith in the
future.
Keep in mind that the Chamber of
Commerce is working while yon
sleep and has sureeded in doing some
of the things which you have sug-
gested .and the reason it has not done
more of the things you wanted done
is very likelv due to the fact that
YOU. MR CRITIC. HAVE NOT
PUT YOL'R SHOULDER TO THE
WHEEL AND HELPED TO PUSH.

in the affirmative then and only
