to Shamrock fourteen years ago, the
prevailing style in small houses, es-
pecially those with four rooms, was
a box-like affair with the roof run-

of line or proportion. There was at
that time not more than a half-
dozen really nice homes in the town.
At the present there is a continual-
ly increasing number of homes, both
large and small, that would be a
credit to any town. The plain box-

The number of Chevrolet owners in the Shamrock terri-
tory who have replaced I 924 models with the new im-
proved 1925 cars demonstrate the confidence they have
in the Chevrolet.
In this territory, assail over the country, the new Chevro-
let has amazed automobile owners with its beauty of
line, riding comfort, driving ease and powers of en-
durance.
The economy of the Chevrolet needs no comment. It
has been proven beyond a doubt by millions of owners.
The best way to get the facts about the Chevrolet is to
see for yourself. Come in. We will be glad to show you.
