Head & Company, will result in additional revenue ot all on the sale of tho property, according to Fred L. Wood worth. United States internal revenue collector, at l)e trolt, Mich. Mr. Woodworth Is In New York on a visit and made the statement when nuked what the probable tax on the iHidge brothers' sale would be, the sate price having been $14t,pufl,0u. Mr. Woodworth said that the agents handling the sale failed to consult their tax attorneys until negotiations had one too far to enable the percentages of the sale to be changed. Tho hoard of di rectors of Hodge Ittothers should have railed a meeting and carried a mot inn to tliviile the assets among the stockholders and dis continue the corporation, Mr. Woodworth said. Then the stock holders could have negotiated the sale of tho property themselves, a non-taxable percentage leaving the only tax that could have been lev ied that on the heir.4. "This was not done," Mr. Wood worth said, "and the corporation sold the assets.

Presi dent Coolidge hopes the conversa tions now progressing In Paris and Washington of the French debt ntt lenient question will lead to some definite plan for a refunding agreement. , . It apparently is too earlv io jmake positive predictions wheth er, this hope Is to be realized but .Mr. Coolidge regards the discus ,8ionB as having at least entered the stage of "negotiations" a jterm applied in diplomacy to de scribe only definite and concrete international exchanges. r;twwfl mark that has k. J been reached by V t J the Western Auto " ; 3 Supply Co. in the 1 Western States. i "i!4 13 Geo- PfPperdlne, -CW President and founder, conceiv ed the idea some 16 years ago. and with 15.00 for an original canital started the busi ness. The rise has bordered on the phe nomenal ever since. The company is now operating in the neighbor hood of one hundred and twenty stores. Rise is Marked Of these stores, 10 are located In Oregon, which shows the tre mendous buying power of the Ore gon market. From the meager capital and the enthusiasm and sagacity of an in dividual has developed what com mercial history already has record ed as a spectacular success in the sixteen years of sapid growth of the Western Auto Supply Co, Its dominance in the automobile ac cessory world Is not questioned; its success in adequately and satis factorily meeting the requirements of hundreds of thousands of motor ists in the Western field Is reflect ed in the attainment of such a tre mendous volume of business In the Hocky Mountains and Pacific Coast territory and continuation of the program of expansion and substan tial success is secure in the policy of small profits and bin volume of I sales with its resultant economies to customers. On Strong Basis Founded on a basis of honesty and satisfaction, on quality mer chandise marketed on close margin and a clear conception of the vit ally essential consideration of ser vice to the motorists of a nation, the Western Auto Supply Co. has achieved deserved success. These stores established through out the West, today are energetic ally and economically fulfilling the requirements of motor car owners and as rapidly as conditions war rant and the necessary organiza tion measuring up to the high standard of "Western Auto" can be found, additional stores are being established. Supply Car's Needs In this territory where stores have been established, embracing nine states, are more than three million motor cars, whose owners need for supplies Is the main objec tive of this live wire organization. It Is a field rich In business today, and the opportunities for service to the motorist are becoming greater day by day as automotive transpor tation develops.
