for
|F-
RE-ELECTION to Congress ^
Vote For The Man Who Votes for You!
MR. FARMER; Clyde Garrett has already
saved you SEVENTEEN MILLION DOLLARS
and his bill now 1-efore Congress will r -turn
you TWENTY MILLION DOLLARS that is
rightfully yours. His actions,, hnvc increased
the farm income for Texas in 1940 some $75,-
000.00.
MRS. HOUSEWIFE: Clyde Garrett has se-
cured you R E A. facilities. 33 school projects
for your children, public buildings, and has
made your daily life more pleasant and more
srraro. When you vote—remember who voted
the Neutrality law that has kept America at
peace while Europe is in flames.
MR. MERCHANT: Clyde Garrett protected
and safeguarded your interests whin he voted
for and supported the Walter-Logan bill. What
other man could have done more for you mer-
chants than Clyde Garrett has done for you
in Congn-ss?
MR. WAR VETERAN: Clyde Garrett has se-
cured you two hospitals in Texas, additional
facilities at Leigion, and worked for his bill to
grant judicial review of your cases before the
Veterans Administration.
MR. STOCK RAISER: Clyde Garrett made it
possible for you to have the benefits of the
FSA, the Soil Conservation and Water Facili-
ties programs and, through federal projects,
built almost THREE MILLION DOLLARS
worth of farm-to-market roads in your Dia-
strict since January 1, 1937.
MR. WORKING MAN: Clyde Garrett is the
only candidate who is endorsed by the A. F. of
L. and the railroad hmtherhiwMjs Clyde Gar-
rett did not cast a single vote that is detri-
mental to the working man,' yet he hiss cast
many thousand votes sinoe he went to Con-
gress.
MR. AND MRS. AMERICAN: No matter what your occupation or circumstances, you are real
Americans, and Clyde Garrett has been a true American in his labors in Congress. He haa sup-
ported all measures to protect our nation from without and within—sponsoring all measures for
National defense and restricting “Fifth Column” activities. Clyde Garrett is a real American and
deserves the vote of every good American.

THIS WINTER
More and more people arc changing their
house heating to better gas heat. And it’s
little wonder! Better gas heat as provided by
floor furnace or circulating heater knocks
cold spots and drives chilling drafts from the
house, maintains an even temperature and
gives more heat for their money. In short,
these advanced-type gas heaters make winter
living easy, comfortable, healthful and eco-
nomical. Investigate their advantages and
plan now to step-up your house heating to
circulated heat.
