A large, full page, display adver- tisement headed “Speeding Kills” has appeared twice in issues of The Tribune. Underneath the reading material are the signatures of thirty prominent Casper automobile estab- ishments. The Tribune asks that the public of Casper be not lax in giving these men full credit for the success of the present campaign. It was their money, pald from their pockets, which took care of the financial end of the drive. It was their spirit and readiness to help which put over the drive physically. The full page display will run once more in the columns of The Tribune. If you have not already read every name signed to that ad- vertisement, do so upon the third running and know that the auto. mobile men in Casper are interested in your welfare. Rake 2 CAMP BRAGG, N.
