EIGHT HOURS THIRTY MINUTES
Faster than any human being has ever traveled from Galveston to Dallas---bv rail, air,*
or any other method of conveyance.
Joe Dawson Driving a 4-Passenger Stock Chalmers
Was checked out of Galveston by J. R. Herr, Vice President Galveston Automobile Club, at six o'clock, November 8th; checked in at
Dallas at 2 p. m. the same day by Oswin K. King of the Evening Journal and J. C. Welch of the Dallas News.
The same Chalmers stock car was used that established San Antonio-to-Dallas record of 6 hours 55 minutes 40 seconds October 22, in com-
petition with cars costing many hundreds of dollars more, Chalmers holds world s 24-hour and fifteen' other records—all sanctioned by
A. A. A. In Texas cross-country runs, Chalmers records are supreme—untouched by any car regardless of price. Yet a Chalmers in a five or seven-passen-
ger sells for LESS THAN $ 1,500.

To our Friends and Patrons:--
Loyalty to our Country, public sentiment and

citizen.

many other thing* vitally necessary to a successful prose-
cution of the great world war.
Our Government has placed all wholesale grocers
under License and the retailer is also placed under very
real restrictions, especially as to the terms on which he
may buy his goods.
Payment for certain necessary articles is required in
advance from us. Practically we must buy for cash or
not at all.
This condition so entirely different from .iny thing we
ever experienced before, has m^de it necessary as well as
a duty lhat we take unusual steps, not only to protect our
own investment, but to assure ourselves a supply of goods
to meet our customer's needs
THE UNDERSIGNED, therefore have made the
following rules and agreements and we ask all our cus
tomors, by conforming to them, to help us conserve the
food and the working capital of the Nation It has he-
come impossible to continue business on the old ha^is
1. The parties to this agreement hereby agree that
on- and after Dec' 1st, 1917, they, each and very one
of them will discontinue the selling of their merchan-
dise on credit of any kind,'but will sell strictly for cash
each aqd every article which they may rcU from their
several places of business, and this a.gren.ment is bind-
ing on each of them until it is mutually rupudiated by a
vote of the majority of the said firms subscribing to
this engagement.
2. The said parties hereby mutually agree that on
and after the first day of December. 1917 they and each
