Katherine Patek was born in Bo hemia, February 27, 1S54, and pass ed away at Plattsmouth April 7. 1931 at the age of 77 years, 1 month and 4 davs. She spent her younger years I in the home in her native country and in July 1876 she was united in marriage to the late John Karvanek. To this union were born eight children, two dying in infancy, the survivors of the widow are the six children. Mrs. Marie Quinton, Lin coln. Nebraska: Mrs. Anna Harris. Plattsmouth. Nehraska; John of Sid ney. Nebraska: Steve of Sutherland. Nebraska; Frank of Tulsa Oklahoma and Mrs. Rose McCarthy of Des Moines, as well as 14 grandchildren. Mr. and Mrs. Karvanek came to the United States in 1892. locating on a farm northwest of Plattsmouth, where she spent the remainder of her life, until about a year ago. since the death of her husband, she has made her home with her daughters.

I thought I could save money by buying the eheajxi '..oliiie on -ale. "I bought gasoline for two veeks, avi.n 4 cents a gallon less than the usual priee. "During the two weeks I used the cheap gasoline I had lots of difficulty starting my car and getting it warmed up. It popped, sputtered and back-fired for a considerable distance after it was started cold. "Toward the end of two week I began to feel that 1 was not getting satisfaction. changed to Red Crown and used it for two iveeks. During that time also, I kept an exact record of the gallons consumed and the miles run. "From these records, I found that I actually secured 8 miles more per gallon on Red Crown than I did on the cheap gasolines. I am going to stick to Red Crown because unquestionably it is the clteapest gasoline for me to buy. even tliough I pay more per gallon and certainly the general wear and tear on my car cannot be nearly as great with this better gasoline." e e Cut price gasoline is likely to be inferior quality gaso line, because it costs more to scientifically refine gaso line than to skim crude petroleum or to doctor up "near kerosene" so that it will pass inspection tests. In clean and complete combustion, a quick starting motor, cheap power and cheap mile age, balanced RED CROWN GASOLINE always gives more for your money.
