TO THE HIGH SCHOOL GRADUATES
President Roosevelt Says, “WE ARE ON OUR WAY”
Business in Dallas and the Southwest is rap-
idly staging a big come-back. Our Employment
Department is now placing more graduates in po-
sitions than the number of our new enrollments,
notwithstanding the fact our new enrollments
show a hundred per cent increase over a year
ago. 1 his means a position for you when you
graduate at Byrne College.
The fact that we now control and will not per-
mit other schools in this state to teach the Fam-
ous Byrne System, which enables us to give vou
n thorough training in half the time required else-
where, makes ours the only school in which you

.WfjfBSn? Engineering facts prove It.
Experience In building
nearly ten million cars confirms It. And
tha record of over 3,000,000 Chevrolet Six
owners removes any shadow of doubt
about it: The only way to get real
economy in a low-priced car is to
Insist on SIX cylinders and OVER-
HEAD valves.
SIX cylinders—no morel—because
extra cylinders mean extra cost for gas,
Oil, upkeep and parts. OVERHEAD
valves—nothing else!—lor the same
good reason that airplanes use them.
And speedboats. And racing cars. They
get the MOST power out of the LEAST
gas. That’s why overhead valves are the
choice of leaders—and champions.

A PIONEER PASSES
Elisha Griggs, 89 yea1- old
confederate veteran, a long
time resident, a pioneer, of
this community died at his
home in Dallas last Friday,
May 18. Funeral services were
held ;n Dallas Sunday morning
at 10.30 after which the body
was brot to Hebron and laid in
state at the old home until af-
ternoon when other services
were held and interment made
in the family burying plot in
petitors combined.
Rural users have played a
major role in bringing about
Chevrolet’s dominance, both
in the passenger car field and
trucks. Replacement of
wornout cars and trucks on
farms is going forward more
rapidly this spring than for a
long time past, Chevrolet deal-
ers report, and it is a signifi-
cant fact that those who have
owned Chevrolets are buying
Chevrolets again.
