I hereby certify that the forego-

an ordinance passed by the city
council of the city of Stephenvills,
at its regular session held the 3rd
day of August, tfllB.-^J. Bennett,
Mayor. Attest: Jno H. Doyle, City
Secretary,
The lumber industry in the South represents
many millions of dollars in the business of
the States in which the lumber plants are sit-
uated.
Materials which were formerly regarded as
waste are utilized for making many things
of importance to the people of this country.
Paper, boxes, shingles, staves and other ar-
- rj
t'ape
tides have been added to the products of
the mill which formerly produced only
planks, etc.
In the organization of this vast industry
every available means for reducing waste has
been studied with great care. It is natural
to find that the largest lumber plants in
these States with the most complete organi-
zation are using
TEXACO PRODUCTS
for their work. One lumber company of
great importance found that it had effected
a saving of over 50 per cent, in the lubricat-
ing oil consumed, by the use of Texaco Pro- J
ducts.
Texaco Quality and Service have
strated their value to the manufact
lumber wherever they have been inst
Texaco Products have justified the poL,
and work of the company by their success.
Texaco quality will do the same for you. Buy
it , Use the “Made in Texas” Red-Star-
Green-T oils manufactured by
The Texas Company
