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."

"Our decision to apply to the

after u very careful study of the

the other cities In Southern Ore

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
