DUBLIN MULE DEFEATS ALL
EFFORTS TO ENFORCE LAW
Dublin Sept, 27.—Traffic laws are
made fm" automobiles and for men
who do not have any responsibilities
is the evident opinion of a mule be
lénging to the local ice company, that
hag,been pulling an ice wagon over a
certain route for years.
A few days ago couneil; in regula
ting congested traffic, made one block
of ‘Madison street a one’ way block,,
all vehicles allowed to go from west
to east, but not from east to west.
This interferred with the mule's ice
route, as he had been in the habit of
traveling that block from east to west 1
and stopping at certain points while
the driver delivered the ice, ‘
Saturday morning, when the traffic
cop endeavored to stop him and turn,
him out at the corner of the prescrib
ed block, the mule didn’t stop, neither
could his driver stop him. Half, a
dozen men joined in the fun but the
mule was stubborn and intended to
follow his ice route. ITe knew whai
le had to do, and where to go, and
this crowd of men made him tired, try
ing to shoo him off some other way. |
So, he just simply went along his
accustemed route, traffic regulations,
policemen, automobiles and wrathy
drivers to the contrary. Just how
the company is going to break the
mule into following some other route
is hard to say. ‘

ALL SERVICE WORK C. 0. D.
We have found it necessary to put our Ser
viee Department on a strictly cash basis.
Experience has taught us that this is the on
ly way we can maintain satisfactory service.
The success of the Department depends up
on our ability to turn out the work quickly
and efficiently at small cost. It is plain
that a Service Station run under a large
overhead expense cannot possibly do work
at reasonable rates. ‘ _
. We cannot afford, therefore, to saddle our
Service Department with the heavy burdens
of maintaining costly bookkeeping and col
leetion departments and the losses from bad
debts.
We refuse to burden our ecustomers by
charging high rates to make up these big
leakages. This will all be avoided by doing
work for CASH ONLY. :
We want you and every other customer of
ours to-aceept this new ruling in the spirit
in which it is intended. Everyone will.
hereafter be obliged to pay eash for serviee
work bhefore his car is released from the
serviee station. We will, of course, accept
checks from customers who are known to us.
If our workmanship is ‘unsatisfactory, it
will be done'over free of charge, provided
we are notified Within Forty-eight Hours.
@
We aim to make ours a model Serviee De
~partment and will be grateful to our friends
C¥ervice Station. :
Delivery of cars will be made only at our
for helpful suggestions. e
