The Bradley Company Management.
The Bradley Company is managed by experienced oil
men. They are backed and recommended, not only by every
financial institution in the state of Texas, large or small, but
by banking institutions everywhere in this country where they
have had occasion to do business. Ask any 1 exan about
them. With unbounded enthusiasm he will tell you that they
are the greatest business and oil men of the state. U .
Bradley, president, is well known in the business world. Mr.
Bradley has been operating in the oil fields of Texas tor the
past eighteen years. While connected witn a Colorado nation-
al bank, of which he was president, Mr. Bradley gave consid-
erable time to the oil industry, foresaw its great possibilities
and regarded it as a real business enterprise and not a game.
Being an experienced banker and true to its business princi-
pies, he has succeeded in eliminating the chance m develop-
ment by drilling only on proven territory. W. J. Lee, vice
president, combining practical oil experience with exceptiona
banking ability, is the executive of the company, He has ex-
tensive interests in several leading banks of Texas, is one o
the largest land owners in the state, and has interests m t e
three big pools of the state, which he acquired during his ten
years of oil experience. I. M. Bradley, secretary, is recognized
by the oil fraternity for the past eighteen years as one ot the
leading operators in the coastal fields of Texas. Mr. Bradley
joined this company to take charge of the field work as gener-
al field superintendent and secretary. Mr. Bradley started a
Spindle Top and went through Sour Lake, Saratoga, Batson
and the Humble fields. As an expert production man Mr.
Bradley is a valuable asset to the management of this com-
pany. Elmer Renfro, treasurer, is cashier in the Farmers &
Mechanics National bank, Fort Worth, one of the strongest
financial institutions of the southwest. The spirit that Mr.
Renfro displayed in climbing the ladder of success enters into
all his work. He is self-made and greatly adds to the strength
of the directorate. v

ARANSAS PASS, - - ■ TEXAS
To Voters San Patricio County.
Fearing that I might not be able
to see you all in the short time be-
fore election, I take this method of
explaining to you a few of my
ideas regarding school work. I was
born and reared in Texas and ed-
ucated in her public schools. I
graduated from the Denton State
Normal. 1 have always loved school
work, and have devoted the great-
er part of my life to it. During
the time I was not teaching I as-
sisted in the programs and enter-
tainments in the schools where I
was located. I know children and
know how to handle them, and if
elected, shall do all in my power
to assist the younger teachers of
less experience in getting all that
is possible out of the schools of
this county. Knowing that the
greater part of children will never
have the opportunity of going be-
yond what they get from the pub-
lic schools, 1 shall make it my one
purpose to visit often the rural
schools of the county, and assist
in every way possible in making
the schools all they should be.
The great war just ended has
taught us that life in the rural dis-
tricts rpust be made better, if we
are to maintain our supremacy
among the nations of the world,
and to do this we must build up
our rural schools Commensurate
with our city and town schools.
1 hope to meet you all before
the election, but if I should fail, for
any reason, inquire about me and
you will find my warmest friends
and strongest supporters are those
who have known me the longest.
Thanking you for the encour-
agement already given me, and
soliciting your vote, on the 27th
day of September, I am,
Yours very truly,
Mrs. Susan Sipes.

Velvet Always Hits a
Sight! Smell!! Teste!!!
qpHEN it’s easy to get to the home-plate, right
JL where you snuggle down in an old coat and slip-
pers to enjoy life.
1 To begin with, Velvet Tobacco, in its jolly red
tin. has a wholesome generous look to it Nothing
namby-pamby about it A red-blooded tin full of
red-blooded tobacco, for red-blooded folks.
Open it up—and you get the fragrance that
Nature stored in the tobacco during eight changing
seasons, while it mellowed in great wooden hogs-
heads.
And say! It’s great! That good, natural fra-
grance of Kentucky’s wonder tobacco—Burley—
King of Pipe-land. No camouflage about it
No dolling up.
Pack a pipeload. Light up and you’ll get the
fragrance of real tobacco—the incense to solid comfort
And a mild, pleasant taste, that only our Nature-
ageing method can impart You will never taste a
finer cigarette than the one you roll with Velvet
Fifteen cents a tin—not a cent more.
Batter up!
A friendly pipeful makes
even the umpire seem al»
most human.
