N A MAN’S WORD 1S ¢00D 'AS HIS BOND " —AT REX SATURDAY Whatever Tom Mix, the:Fox star, may ‘think of the east, his belief in the west and the spirit of the west is unlimited. In the country he comes from, he says, he has-been.used ‘to' dealing with men whose word was equal to their bond. There was no equivocating and no reservations, ‘Once, when he was buying cattle in the northwest, he needed money to earry his deal. He went to the bank and laid his case before .the banker. The banker told him to go ahead, draw on the bank for what he want- ed, and When they thought he had ehough they would stop him. He went orf with his deal and drew $36,- 000 Dbefore it was finished. * Then of course he was able immediately to ‘turn money back into the bank. See Tom Mix “In Cupid’s Round- up”’, Saturday. . .
