ter Varn’s string near Montezuma,
also is going across the border. So
is W. D. Lanningham, popular At
lantan whose string is made up
principally of Bill Satterthwait’s
young dogs.

Shop refreshed... Have a Coca-Cola
... the friendly pause makes a chore seem fun
When shopping, you can get one thing you didn’t bargain on—you
can get tired and thirsty! That’s the time to enjoy the friendly pause
with ice-cold Coca-Cola at the familiar red cooler. It’s a grand chance
to park your worries for one refreshing moment and be sociable.
Everyone steps up with a smile at the invitation Have a Co\e.
