Since then he has been employed at various things, always doing his work satis factorily and sincerely. In all of his dealings he has been known to be honest and fair, never trying to take advantage of any one.

There are specially-designed parking lights and drum-type headlights of distinctive design. An interesting removable tonneau light on a reeled cord serves as a portable light when needed. Nickeled trimming adds a note of beauty to even the smallest units. Beautifully-curved, full-crown fenders accen tuate the lines of the body itself, adding greatly to the finish ed effect. The Velie-built motor is as free from vibration at sixty miles an hour as at six, is automatically lubricated, dirt and dust proof, overhead valve gives maximum power. The general sales manager for Oregon is in Medford with a latest model Velie to establish a distributor for Jackson and Josephine counties for these popular cars and is located at 118 South Central ave.

A public utility, to .realize its largest fmeeeKS, must have; t lie.'-vonfidene-c of the people it serves, it must recognize that ouly in service lies its greateHt reward that Lu confidence was it bom. Thero is a new typo of public utility abroad in tho land. It can not profit to itself. It cannot be removed from the community it serves, its success lies in service; and it has ouly the common good to. sell. Ruch is the nature of the new typo of public, utility it is the Chamber of Commerce. ' ' Since man must live with his neighbor he must build something more than his own house, lie must help his neighbor to build. The work of the Chamber of Commerce becomes therefore an integral part of every household. Because its energy, is com munity energy, its ideals arc the composit dreams of many,' its hopes represent the highest type of community thought. The Chamber of Commerce public, utility supremo, directs the ideals of the community bocauso its inspiration for service . springs from the hearts of those who love to serve.
