FORD
THE UNIVERSAL CAR
•f
When you want your Ford car repaired, insist
always upon getting the genuine Ford Parts, made
by the Ford Motor Company, in order to insure
reliable quality. There are “sputious,” “counter-
fei^|’ “imitation” parts made by outside concerns
who have no regard for quality in material, so in-
sist on your Garage or Repair Man furnishing you
the genuine Ford Parts. All reliable garages may
now buy the genuine Ford Parts from us—so
there’s no excuse for any one using the “bogus”
parts. To be sure, bring your car to us for repairs
or replacements.

Notice to the Public, of
Plano and Vicinity
It has just comp to my knowledge that it ham been report-
ed that I was the man that proposed to raise the barber rat®«
m Plano from 20c and 35c to 25c and 50c, and this is to inform
the public generally that this is a gross error, as I never have
since I have b*en in Plano suggested the raise in rates. Or.
the other hand, 1 was the one that opposed it and I have op-
posed it in the past and will continue bo do so. I have at all
times been against it, ain against it now and shall continue to
be against it to the end.
VERY RESPECTFULLY YOURS,
J. E. Warde
PROPRIETOR OF JIM’S TONSORIAL PARLOR
Plano, Texas.

The following facts about cotton
manufacturing conte to the Stnr-Cou-
tier Irom the highest authority whose
name we do not cure tn use, in re
spouse to a recent article in the Slur
Courier. The facts, ns staled by one
familiar with the subject, ought to he
interesting to those who would like to
see the South, and Texas in particular,
get more of the profits that come from
the natural resources of the country :
"I note witli pleasure the contents
or your October 10th, issue.
'Your editorial “Bringing Factories
lo Texas and Plano” is ........I a very
able article, it |k indeed very ttnl'oi
tunate that Texas produce*, annually,
four million bales of cotton, while only
forty thousand hales are used in the
Texas cotton mills, (<*i|y 1 per cent)
and 99 per cent is exported to other
static and foreign lands North and
South Carolina cotton mills consume
85 per cent of the cotton crop of those
states and export 15 per cent in raw
material.
Having formerly been associated
years ago with tjje controlling stock
holders of the * • * ♦ cotton mill
I know why the mill there could not
originaly tie successfully operated and
compete with oilier mills. If was be
cause the promoters unloaded upon
the people of * * * • at n fancy
price a lot of old worn, obsolete ma-
chinery, which hud no value whatevei
except for junk.
"Later on * * * * secured control of
this mill, installed modern machinery
and equiqment, and an able manage

table operation ever since.”
