“The Store of Service”
LADONIA,TEXAS
Monday the city wound up its af-
fairs for the fiscal year, according
5! to Secretary Carl Little, who was
■ busy posting the hooks and issuing
B 1 vouchers for accounts due. The City
j Commissioners will hold its regular
■ -meeting soon after the first of
March and an itemized statement of
the financial condition will be pub-
lished in a March issue of the News.
Owing to the inclement weather
last Sunday, Sunday School and
church services at the various La-
donia churches were not as well at-
tended as they should have been.
F'olks will not. go to Church when the
weather looks bad, yet on week day*
they always manage to get to their
respective places of business.
A good rain l fell In the Ladonia
section Sunday morning, adding al-
ready to the fine season that is in
the ground, also placing the dirt
roads in a muddy condition, hut not
to the extent that they were en-
tirely impassable. Lower tempera-
ture followed the rain. Good rains
fell over the entire state according
to reports. In some parts of the
Plains and Panhandle snow fell.
While Dee Bridges was burning
some grass around the C. H. Woods
& Co. gin last Friday some one
turned in the fire alarm, thinking
the gin was on fire. When the fire
department arrived they found it
was a false alarm, and Mr. Bridges
was somewhat' surprised. In this
run, Grover Bishop came near being
run over by a passing car as he at-
tempted to swing the fire truck.

j
m T is tlie policy of Gen-
eral Motors to maintain confinuttus improvernt*nt+
in rvrry out* of its car divisions, with no interrup-
tion in production.
This means that you enjoy the benefits uf
new engineering developments promptly —jnvt u»
soon as they have been thoroughly tested on tli«
1245-acre Proving Ground.
It means that you can note order the nrw
Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmohilc, OaUlamh HuieL,
LaSalle, Gadillae, or GMC Truck, and receive
immediate delivery.
Behind this policy of continuous improvement
is an organi/.ution so widespread and resourceful
that it can make and sell quality automohilcm
more economically than any automobile manu-
facturer in the world.
In the north and south it logs and mills iui
own lumber. In the east it makes its own lull
hearings and radiators. In the middh* west it
produces its own plate gluss. Its plants are Iiukj
in 55 important American cities.
From almost 5,000 suppliers, its materials ura
obtained—steel by the hundreds of thousunds of
tons — wire by the tens of thousands of miles—■
upholstery by the acre—-nuts, holts and washers
by the millions. Its sales and service take plae*
t lirough 55,000 dealers. More than 275.000 famifieaa
look directly to General Motors for their liveli-
hood— almost a million and a half men, women
ami children in every community in the land.
Meaning so much to so many, Generul Motors
has felt a supreme obligation to look ahead.
Are there methods by which General Motors
cars can he better built to belter serve?
Are there new ideas which can increase (ho
utility and pleasure and safety of motoring?
Are there new materials which cun add to
owner satisfaction?
Such are the questions that all General Motors
engineers have always usked. The answers haw
made it possible, year after year, to offer an in-
creasing measure of beauty in design, modem
performance, riding comfort and distinct style.
Thus in every price class, from Cadillac to Chevro-
let, purchasers ure constantly benefiting from the
General Motors policy of progress.
