Texas Weekly Industrial
Review
If recent election rceulti tenches
anything, it (hows that the sent!
amt of the American people is for
-conservative and sound ideas of
Soeammect and business. It should
isksw both republicans and demo-
crats, alike, that the men they put
1 mp for pufclie office ahouM be cap-
able of impressing the voters with
Aha fact that they will give, if
-elected, a sound economical and busi-
ness like adminstration of public
affairs and curb the tendency to
expand the functions of government
to various fields of private industry.

How Often Do Use
Your Telephone
Do you use your residence telephone often enough to war-
rant the expense of a “one-party-line?” Consider the num-
ber of hours that your line is not in use, and you will prob-
ably conclude that a “selective-ringing” telephone would
handle your traffic as well—and at a reduced expense.
By sharing your line with another aubscriber you not only
save money, but you enable the Telephone Company to add
more telephones to the exchange—and thus make your tele-
phone more valuable. For the value of your telehon* in-
creases in proportion to the number of other telephones you can, ,*'*
be connected with.

TOURING CAR
$175p
f. o. b. fketory
r”| 'HE Big-Six Touring is a
I seven-passenger car—not
X merely a seven-passenger
body mounted on a five-pas-
senger chassis.
It was designed and built
for seven-passenger service—
with a motor of ample power
and stamina for seven-pas-
senger satisfaction.
Then, too, with the auxili-
ary seats folded away, the
Big-Six becomes the most
desirable five-passenger car
in which you have ridden,
with room enough for all the
luggage you will eyer need.
Big-Six appearance is at-
tractive, distinctive, and in
good taste. Its performance,
acceleration, flexibility and
dependability are known and
respected the world over.
No car, regardless of price,
surpasses it in quality or com-
pleteness of equipment.
If a smaller manufacturer
or assembler were to build
the Big-Six—of equal quality
and workmanship—his price
would be $3,500 — perhaps
more.
But Big-Six overhead is
distributed over six times as
many units as are built by
any Big-Six competitor,
hence Big-Six cost and sell-
ing price are surprisingly
low.
Don't buy blindfolded.
Examine, ride in and drive
the Big-Six before you buy
any other car.
