Says
Change
Wife Is Nothing
Short of Remarkable Since
Taking Argotane.
“After seeing the jfood Argotane
has done my wife, I don't hesitate
to say It’s a Wonderful medicine
and I think everybody wno is suf-
fering ought to know about it,”
Said H. Z. Mathlews, residing at
1621 S. Bassett St., Eastland, Tex-
as. Mr. Mathiewg owns and op-
erates the Quality Cleaners and
Dyers, of Eastland.
\ “Yes, sir, Argotane has made a
different woman of her," he con-
tinued, "and we are so happy over
her recovery that we can't stop
talking about It. She suffered ter-
ribly for three long years with in-
digestion and finally got so weak
and run down she could hardly
get around to do her ordinary
housework. She didn’t have any
appetite and what little loot! she
ate would sour and cause gas to
form that bloated her all up and
made her feel miserable. This
trouble was worse at night and the
suffering made her so nervous she
couldn’t get any sleep to do her
any good and would get up in the
morning < eltng tired and all worn
out. Shu Had awful headaches,
too, and sometimes they were so
severe and lasted so long f began
to get real worried about her.
"We had been noticing where so
many people right, here in Eastland
weie gelling relief from their
troubles by taking Argotane that
we decided to try it, and it’s the
honest truth, the change it has
made in her Is nothing short of
remarkable. Why, i ve never seen
anything to equal it. Her indiges-
tion is nearly all gone and she
doesn’t ever have any more of
those miserable spells from gas on
her stomach. She has only taken
one bottle but her nerves are as
quiet and steady as can be and
she sleeps sound all night ami
feels bright and fresh when morn
lug comes.and works around the
house nil day long without gelling
tired a.l. all anil she says she can
almost reel herself get ling strung
I cr even day."

Among the directors of the
Texas Electric Service Com-
pany are numbered some of
the outstanding business
leaders of the State.
Knowing that the company
can grow no faster than the
territory it serves, the direc-
tors and the management
have consistently followed
out a policy of aiding in every
way practical those projects
which are designed to build
cities and increase the pros-
perity of the territory it
serves.
Less than half a century ago, barbed
wire marked the change of West Texas
from a ranching country into a farming
country. Great ranches were cut into
farms and communities began to spring
up. The development of West Texas
had begun.
Less than 11 years ago, another
change took place, this lime signified hy
the copper wire of the electric power com-
panies. As towns began to develop, the
electric power lines brought a new ad-
vantage to this rapidly growing territory.
Like the railroads, the electric power lines
gave a new impetus to West Texas prog-
ress.
These power lines made it possible for
industries to be established near the source
of raw materials. Large and small towns
were supplied with abundant and depend-
able electricity. Electric power aided West
Texans to create what is known as the
“New Empire.”
The Texas Electric Service Company
is a permanent part of this great area.
Large generating stations and an exten-
sive electric power system were built with
an eye to the future of the territory it
serves. The Company is growing with
and aiding the growth of West Texas—
The New Empire.
