“Give me ten minutes a week
and I’ll knock dollars off your tire bills”
SET a day every week—preferably any one but
Saturday or Sunday—and let me look over
your tires. It’ll mean dollars off your tire bill.
Maybe they need more air. Two or three pounds
under pressure will take miles off the life of a tire.
Maybe there’s a nail or a flint just waiting to work
through and make trouble. Maybe they’re O.K.
and you can drive away in comfort.
Ten minutes! But isn’t it worth it to feel sure of
your tires?
Car owners spend many a half-hour on the side of
the road because they won’t take the ordinary
precaution. And that’s! saying nothing of the
extra mileage they might get and the money they *
might save.

HARRIS REUNION
The Harris Reunion was largely
attended at Queen's Park, Strat
ford, on July 3rd there being about
15 0 present.
James Harris, son of the late Mr.
and Mrs. Samuel Harris, of Devon
shire, England, was born in the year
1810, on June 2nd. In 1833 he
married Elizabeth Routley and the
young couple decided to come to
Canada in 1843 to seek their for
tune in the new world. He lived
in Darlington township in Durham
county for nearly two years but
wasn’t satisfied with his surround
ings and decided to seek a new home
n Fullarton township, Perth Co.
which was nothing more than a
dense woods at that time.
Jasper Pridham, Jas. Moore and
Mr. Harris moved to Fullarton where
they picked out their farms, Mr. Har
ris, choosing as his farm, Lot 26 on
concession 9, Fullarton. They then
walked to Goderich to the lieadquar-
ers of the Canada Company, where
they secured their lands.
This trip was a trial indeed, the
road being only a trail and a very
poor one in some places. He hew
ed a clearing in the bush and built
a home and the members of the Har
ris family who gathered at Queen’s
Park to hold a reunion are all de
scendants of this worthy pioneer of
Perth County, A large attendance
was present including members of
the Harris family from Preston,
Brussels, Walton, Dungannon, Far
quhar, Brandon, Calgary, Traynor,
Sask; London, Munro, Mitchell,
Stratford, Staffa, Clinton and North
Bay. '
Speeches on the history of the
Harris family were made by Oliver
Harris, of Mitchell, Arnold Harris,
of Traynor, Sask.; John Brown, of
North Bay, John Harris, of Walton
and Edward Harris of Hibbert and
Edward Curtis.
Frank Harris on the old home
stead was in charge of the reunion
and Mrs. Nelson Coach, of Stratford
was in charge of the sports.
Oliver Harris, of Mitchell and Mrs-
Ann Curtis are the only remaining
members of the family of the late
James Harris. The late James Harris
of Farquhar was also a member of
the family. >
A very successful program of races
and sports was held during the af
ternoon and everyone had a splen
did time.

Henry Either, Clerk MASSEY-HARRIS MACHINERY
JUST as the “sterling” imprint on silver
identifies the best, so the mark of Fisher
on its bodies distinguishes a car from
others in its field. When you speak of
Pontiac as the lowest-priced six with
bodies by Fisher, you are merely finding
another way to say — “the finest of low-
priced sixes.”
For no other six of such low price offers
the score of advantages which make the
Pontiac Six the value leader of its entire
class. Certainly none other offers any
major feature comparable to the staunch,
•mart coachwork that the Fisher emblem
represents.
Not only in style and color—not only in room
iness and luxury of interiors — but also in
sturdiness and quality o,£ construction, Pontiac-
Fisher bodies establish a standard never before
attained in a six at Pontiac price. Like Pontiac
itself, they are noted for ruggedness and long
life. Like Pontiac itself they provide every
element required for complete satis faction and
lor justifiable owner pride. ’
