TS5E UK a VSR SAL CAR
Let There -Be No Discords
If your' Ford car is out of tune, there is undoubtedly a very good reason
for it. And the best way to find thatreason, and have it remedied, is to
jump in and drive to our authorized Service station, where one of our
mechanics who is thoroughly acquainted with the Ford mechanism and
who knows the Ford way to adjust or repair your car, can tune it up in a
garage that is properly equipped to give real Ford service. Then too,
Ave never use imitation parts only the Genuine Ford-made, strong and
durable. They wear from thirty to seventy-five per cent longer than
the counterfeit parts that are softer and more cheaply made. In fact it
is dangerous to human life to use imitation part, and it is not fair to
your Ford car or your pocket book.
We are a part of the gigantic Ford Service organization whose pur
pose it is to serve the owners of all Ford cars and trucks; we have more
than a passing interest in your car. Prompt service is given on all
work from a minor adjustment to a motor overhaul. Drive in and see
the facts for yourself there's too much money invested in your Ford
to miss connections with the authorized Ford dealers.
Ford Touring $000.
Ford Hondstcr $57.
Ford Sedan $875
Ford Coupolot $750.
Ford Truck $590.

J. V. Komlgh, of tho local coal com
mittee, stated tills morning that tho
situation in North Platte is tighten
ing up. This is duo to tho fact that
tho mines at llunna lmvo boon closed
slnco Monday, and a part of the min
ers who had been nt work at Rock
Springs havo again walked out, thus
decreasing tho output. No coal was
turned over to tho local committee
yostordny and this morning tho stock
on hand is dangerously low. It is
hoped, howevor, to have threo car
loads turned over today, at least n
promlso of that quantity has boon
made to tho committee.
A number of cars of coko aro on
routo from St, Louis to North Platte
but Just whon they will arrlvo Is not
known. While coko is not a satis
factory fuol, and is only nccopted by
purchasers when coal cannot bo ob
tained, the situation demands its use,
and tho committee considers It for
tunate that coko promises to bo fairly
easy to obtain.
In tho in can time the demand for
fuel is increasing for tho reason that
those who had a few tons on hand nt
tho beginning of tho season aro now
beginning to run out, hence tho num
ber Of applicants Is dally increasing.
This morning eight or ton McPhor-
son county farmers wero applicants at
the fuol office. They said that there
Is no coal at Staploton, Tryon or
Gnndy. Theso farmers mako North
Platte their trading point and fool that
they should bo taken caro of by tho
North Platte committee.
Thp electric light plant had reached
tho bottom of Its bins Wednesday ev
oning, but yesterday morning a car
was turned over to them.
