County Librarian
Dallas Co. Dealer To
Close Out 450 New Cars
In an event which will interest
many wage-earners and salaried peo-
ple throughout the Mesquite area,
the DeSoto-Plymouth factory-author-
ized dealer for new car sales in Dal-
las County is conducting a year-end
sale of all 1950 models of these cars.
To move all this stock quickly,
Dick Price Motor Company of 2100
North Harwood, Dallas, is making
especially generous allowance for
good used automobiles traded in on
these brand-new cars. In emphasiz-
ing this fact, Dick Price, head of this
Dallas firm, says: “None of these
cars has been driven or towed to
Dallas. Each is a brand-new 195 0 De-
Soto or Plymouth, and carries the
full factory warranty available only
from a responsible factory-author-
ized retail outlet.”
Mr. Price points out that because
of the high allowance made for a car
traded in now as a down-payment to-
ward a new car purchased at his
company, the remaining balance is
low. For this reason, many families
of modest income who have postpon-
ed owning a new car under the latest
credit restrictions,, can now easily
meet the small monthly payments
required.
The full line of DeSoto and Ply-
mouth body types in latest colors is
included in this sale. Display room
near downtown Dallas just south of
McKinney Avenue is open evenings

This question is presented squarely for
the firsl time by the Texas Tax Journal in
i?s booklets "The Case of the One Per Cent-
ers,'1 ■
Every Texan who wants good highways,
adequate for 99 of every 100 users, should
write for a free copy of this revealing book-
let.
Approximately 99% of all Texas motor
vehicles are registered for a gross weight of
20,000 pounds or less."*
All Texas taxpayers, including your Texas
Railroads, have reason to be concerned
about the high cost of constructing and re-
pairing our highways and the prospect of
building more costly roads made necessary
by the operation of highway "box cars."
©
No one has any desire to bar vehicles of
reasonable size from our highways, so long
as each pays its fair share of construction
and repair costs.
Other Texas taxpayers should not be re-
quired to shoulder the burden of a roadway
system for highway "box cars", representing
only I % of highway users.
Every Texan interested in good highways
without increasing the growing tax burden
should fill out the coupon below and get a
copy of this valuable booklet.
