TO LA BAHIA
UNITED IN MARRIAGE TUESDAY
AT MOULTON
Erwin Francke, son of Mr. and
Mrs. Hy. Francke cf this city, and an
efficient employe at the LaGrange
Motor Company, in the business de-
partment, left for Moulton Tuesday
to keep an important engagement.
At the Catholic church of that city,
with the resident pastor officiating,
he was united iiijjnssrriage with Mis*
Amalie Hrncir, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Win.- Hrncir, early that morn-
ing. " .. ,
After the ceremony the bridal par-
ty repaired to the home of the bride’s
parents, and there enjoyed a ,rery
sumptuous wedding spread. Mr. and
Mrs. Francke are spending a few
days in San Antonio, and upon their
return, February 20, will be “at
home” to their friends at the Henry
Francke home on Washington street.
Our congratulations, best wishes
for a long, happy and useful married
life; we believe that Erwin has made
a wonderful catch, the bride being a
great favorite with the ‘younger set
and in many ways is' she accom-
plished. Welcome to our city!
DEATH CAME QUICKLY TO
MRS. MARY HOLUB
During last Friday, Feb. 10, Mrs.
Mary Holub of Taylor visited here in
LaGrange at the borne of her brother-
in-law, Louis Kocurek, and left for
Shiner to attend the annual meeting
of the officerp of the K. J. Z. T.
I Lodge of Texas, of which she was
' vice-president, • She stopped, at Yoa-
kum to consult a physician and while
in the physician’s office dietf 'very
i suddenly. She was 65 yean of age.
The news, brought to her ^ister,
Mrs. Kocurek and. her son, Rev. E.
Holub, rvctor of the Sacred Heart
church here, was shocking and almost
unbelievably-:, She had been ;frith
them, apparently healthy, and no
thought of such untimely end was en-
tertained. “In the midst of life we
are in death!” How true.
The body was taken to Taylor, Sat-
urday, and on Monday morning at 10
o’clock in the Taylor Catholic church,
with solemn Requiem High Mass, fu-
neral services were held. Several
priests were in attendance.
Mrs. Holub is survived by her hus-
band, Frank Holub, four sons, Frank,
Ben and Leo of Taylor, and Rev. E.
Holub of LaGrange, one daughter,
Mrs. Willie Klecka of Taylor, and six
sister?, one of whom is Mrs. Louis
Kocurek of LaGrange.
Our sincere sympathy is offered to
the mourning relatives.

“1 ‘ Epigramatic
Do today’s duty today.
The wise man forces his handicaps
to work for him.
Put off worrying until tomorrow,
but work today.
If you see nothing in Christianity,
the fault is in you—not Christianity.
Some people burn theit-seandal at
both ends.
Soap and self respect work in the
race of success together.
If a handicap sends you to the woll,
lean against and plan for the future
fray.
It is not luck, but pluck that pulls
you through.
B. C. COOK, Pastor.

_T is the policy of Gen-
eral Motors to maintain continuous improvement,
in every one of its car divisions, with no interrup-
tion in production.
This means that you enjoy the benefits of
new engineering developments promptly —just as
soon as they have been thoroughly tested on the
1245-acre Proving Ground.
It means that you can note order the new
Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Oakland, Buick, .
LaSalle, Cadillac, or GMC Truck, and receive
immediate delivery.
Behind this policy of continuous improvement
is an organization so widespread and resourceful
that it Can make And sell qhality automobiles
more economically than any automobile manu-
facturer in the world.
In the north and south it logs and mills its
own lumber. In the east it makes its own ball.,
bearings and radiators. In the middle west it
produces its own plate glass. Its plants are busy
in 33 important American cities. /
From almost 5,000 suppliers, its materials are
obtained—steel by'the hundreds of thousands of
tons — wire by the tens of thousands of miles—
upholstery by the acre—nuts, bolts and washers
by the millions. Its sales and service^ take place
through 33,000 dealers. More than 275,000 families
look directly to General Motors for their liveli-
hood—almost a million and a half men, women
and children in every community in the land.'
Meaning so much to so many, General Motors
has felt a supreme obligation to look ahead.
Are there methods by which General Motors
cars can be better built to better serve?
Are there new ideas which can increase the
utility and pleasure and safety of motoring?
Are there new materials which can add to
owner satisfaction? •
Such are the questions that all General Motors
engineers have always asked. The answers have
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 are constantly benefiting from the
General Motors policy of progress.
