Nobody weald ever hamper a horse like this—
Bat many horse ownen are unwittingly handicapping their animals and
robbing themselves of hauling value by making poor -Dobbin- attain, with
stiff, dry-running gear. Not all, for thousands ot horse owners are using
TEXACO AXLE. GREASE
Try it, and you will agree with them that a few ounces of TEXACO AXLE
GREASE will save pounds of horse flesh. It stays where it is put
TEXACO AXLE GREASE will not stiffen. It eases the running gear and
kaepe it easy. Throw off that drag of useless friction. TEXACO AXLE
GREASE will do it for you.
Another TEXACO PRODUCT which you can use with profit is
Mb' ■.....
TEXACO HARNESS OIL
*
It lengthens the life and improves the appearance of the hemes*. It pre-
serves the hatural oils cf the leather, prevents cracking and deterioration
* by sweat,1'moisture and rain.
Buy them from the TEXACO AGENT in your town. He will be glad to
sail you the right oil for any purpose. * There is a TEXACO OIL for every
purpose.

Gentlemen: — ,
Your favor of the 12th inst. duly-
received, in regard to the method
of handling the coming peanut
crop.
Beg to advise that we expect
to be in the market from first to
last, and we will invariably want
the peanuts in bulk and we will
quote you prices in bulk. We have
at timqs, bought pcaunta by the
ear lot in sacks, and return the
sacks to the seller, but to relieve
the farmers of the great first cost
of the sacks, and they are very
costsly this season, it would be bet-
ter to figure to sell the peanuts iu
bulk.
The outlook for the peanut far-
mers is very good up to date, and
it is to be hoped that they will get
a good price for same. A good
many people have sought an ex-
pression from me lately, in regard
to the price of tho crop, and it is a
matter of impossibility to even
forecast any sort of a price, but
the outlook is very good for a fair
to good price.
Thanking you for the inquiry,
and trusting to be able to do a lot
of business with you the coming
season, we are,
Yours very truly,
Comanche Cotton Oil Co.
