Every Time We Sell a Car We
Make a Friend
The very definite progress which has marked each succeeding
year in Velie manufacture is more emphatic in this year's
models than ever before not alcne because of our own Ve
lie-built motor, giving a degree of power and flexibility
heretofore unknown even to Velie cars, but also because of
the refinement of craf tmanship in body-building and finishing.
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

A Public Utility
..' 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.
