From 7 o'clock this morning until 1 this afternoon, the guardsmen were to have been on the rifle range, the first “big day” for the rookies, who have been fairly itching to pull a trigger on the bull's-eye down the range.

He serves best who serves most efficiently —and most economically. We made up our minds that we must watch our step in pick- ing our next tire, and searched the country over, invastigated carefully—bought the wholesale agency, and offer you, with our personal recommendation and indorsement, The Montford Cord Tires Frankly. we are after the tire business this District. [f we are to be success- ful in securing it, we realize that we must SERVE THE BEST. We must give the greatest value, the most mileage and least tire trouble—or our competitors will give us a propet licking. We never did like to take a licking— so have decided that we must sell the best tire to be had. We have sold five or six different brands of tires—and stopped selling them. They either gave too much trouble or were just the average good tires. It is the best tire we ever saw. Four 35x5 cords on a Packard Twin Six Limou- sine have averaged over 16,000 miles. 30x3V% cords will lick any tire ever put on a flivver. It doesn’t know how to rim- cut, wears like iron and gives almost un- believable mileage. Buy Them at Wholesale 30x3 Cl. Fabric. .$8.35 | 34x4 S. S. Cord.. 30x3% Cl. Fabric. . ..10.00 | 32x41 S S.
