ENDS THIS WEEK The final six- days of the Med ford Service Station's sweeping tire sale was launched today after an exceptionally successful four days business last Week. A general cur of one-fourth on the regular list price of (ioodyears makes this event especially interesting to the motorists of southern Oregon., The lower price lino of Pathfinders has also come in for a price cut, a fact which has appealed to automobll ists who desire an unusually mod erate priced tire. Along with the special low prlci's, the .Medford Service Station offers their usual service in taking off the wornout or old tires, cleaning the rims and replacing with new tires. "We have been especially pleas ed with tho respons? to our sale announcements on the part of mo torists in the Uogue lliver valley. Insofar as this is the second sale we have had during the last ten years ill Medford. drivers realize that we are really offering t hem something this time." C. C. Fur nas said today. "Our special prices will last only until Saturday niht. which means that those who wish to si-cure Coodyears or Pathfind i ei's at sale prices must act this I week." IS "Our decision to apply to the ; Public Service commission for a reduction in rates to our con 1 nu me rM at present usin sas for cooking purposes was only reached after u very careful study of the future possibilities of .Medford and the other cities In Southern Ore gon, which are served by the Southern Oregon Clas corporation, and is in keeping with the pro gressive policy of our Institution already announced," said K. A. iJazey. the new manager of; tho Southern Oregon Gas Co. In this city. "Krankly, the operations of the former company were conducted at .1 substantial lows during the past three years or more, and In making this, rate reduction, we are simply further increasing our losses. It. Is our fhm conviction, however, that the new- rates to schedule 'A' consumers will en courage the increased use of gas and will also bring to our lines a large number of new consumers. It is the policy of our organi7Ji tion to take the public Into its confidence; we are a very definite part of Medford and we propose to become a more important fac tor in the future building up ti the city and of our own business." "It should he understood that the reduction applies only to, those of our consumers who ar using ga f r cok I ng p urposes : the rales charged for service under , other schedules are already con -, nidorahly below those charged 1 11 other cornmiinlilfs of similar size. j The Hi-passenger Texneo airplane making a tour of the Pacific eo:it will arrive in Meili'onl this after noon at &:Liu from the south, pi loted by Frank Hawks, accompa nied by his wile and baby.
