The Curtis Auto Sales Company
received a car load of new Whippets
and Willys Knights this week.
A CORRECTION
Although Mr. C. L. Gass probably
sells cigarettes, as well as everything
else, as low or lower than most any-
body in the State, he can not sell
them at a price lower than the man-
ufacturer can make them. However
our linotypist tried to make him do
this last week by quoting the price
on two packages of cigarettes for 15
cents, when it should have been two
for 25 cents, and he sure had a rush
of business for cigarettes as well as
for the other big bargains he adver-
tised. Read his ad this week—the bar-
gains are just as big as last Satur-
,lay's—and that means as low as any-
where in Texas.
