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

have railed a meeting and carried

Woodworth said. Then the stock

sale of tho property themselves, a
non-taxable percentage leaving the

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.
