NO CREDIT FOR AUTO PURCHASES AT LINGLE Plenty of 1oney for development ef farms but not one cent for joy rides, in substance is the ultimatum issued by the combined banks of Lingle, Wyo. When a farmer visite one of the banks in that vicinity and seeks money for farm operations he will first have a chance to tell what kind of an automobile he possesses. If it is one of the big seven passen- ger joy carts he will be asked to dispose of ft and use the money *m® vested in his farm. ‘This ultimatum does not mean the bankers are opposed to automotive progress, but means that they have realized losses at times from loaning money to farmers who later spent it touring over the country tn the cars they possessed. Lingle has enough money for any farmer that will farm and the first evidence that his inten- tions are gqod will be the exchange of the big auto for some lower priced car that is to be made use of solely to facilitate development of the farm. celine Sao eee * ——Subscrite for The Tribune—z— ATARRH Over 17 Million Jars Used Yearly Geologists Oil Expe:ts Oil Field Maps Blue Prints Explorations Reports Wyoming Map &/Blue Print Co.
