TIIK FA KM RESIDENCE
ON NOLLCAMPKR PLACE
DESTROYED KY KIKE
About midnight Wednesday night!
fire was discovered in the bedroom of I
the residence on the William Noll-i
camper place occupied by George Hen-1
efln and family, one-half mile south
and one-half mile west of Meek post
office. The family were just able to
escape with their lives when they
awoke and discovered the room in
which they were sleeping was on fire.
We understand that because of a
small baby a lamp was allowed to burn
during the night; it Is thought that
the fire resulted from this source,
however, no one really knows how the
fire originated as the room wns burn
ing freely when they awoke.
The family lost all of their house
hold goods and clothing.

Crowded traffic conditions today demand six-cylinder
performance—with its greater flexibility, greater
reserve power, higher speed and swifter acceleration.
And now—-for the first time in commercial car history —
this desirable tfl'x-cylindcr performance has been made
available with the economy of the four. For the new six
cylinder Chevrolet trucks arc not only offered in the
price range of the four—but they are as economical to
oj.*:rate as their famous four-cylinder predecessors! Both
the Light Delivery and the lVi Ton Utility Chassis are
available with an unusually wide selection of body types
—and among them is one exactly suited to your require
ments. Come in *oday. We’ll gladly arrange a trial load
demonstration— load the truck as you would load it, »ei
drive it over the road;-, your truth must travel in a regu
lar day’s work,
