Kenneth Swlt- zer (Catherine Pinch), at Long- lac, Ontario, and hlm brother at Vancouver whom he had not scen for 53 years. 0 The following obituary is taken from Uic Pico Post: With the passing of Charles W. Gardiner, Pico lest anc of its fin- est and best loved citizens. Mr~. Gardiner's death comning as it did early on Christmas rnarning sad- dened thc day for ail that learned cf it, for ta know him was ta love him. Sunday night, Mr. Gardiner was struck by an automobile, when attcmptng ta cross* Whttler Blvd., brcaking both bancs in his right leg just above tic ankie. His condition was nat considered seriaus, 30 hlm death was a very great shock ta hlm hpst of friends. Charles W. Gardiner was barxn at Singhampton, Ontario, April 15, 1863. Living i Oshawa for twenty ycars lic came ta the Unit- ed States i 1886, settling first i Chicago where he worked i the meat packing industry. On mov- ing ta York County, Nebraska, lie met Jane Sirrs and married -lier at Bradshaw, Nebraska, June 7, 1892.

For years yen Canadian motoriste have purchased more Chevrolets tdma any other make of automobile, regard- leis of type, size or price. Yen did it again ini the year juat closed - meat emphatic- aIly, in every province in Canada. W. 'want te thank you fer your mark of high aver and for your confidence. Yen place on us a definite responsibility to continue te give metor car leadership -and we accept that responsibility. Smo.e yen rate Chevrolet firit iii value, we are under the. obligation to keep it flrst in value. Moreover, et the dawn ef 1941 there is gi-eter significance than usuel in being the builder of Canada's No. 1 car. The konalty of leadership has some acute implications in relation te quality and dopendability and the pecketooek cf the buyer! htthr1sanetrl W. consider httreianniel now eil tItis yçar upon Chevrolet quality and dependabiity because Chovrelet is an essentiel part of Canada's war offert. YEARS AIJED FOR then ta Pico i 1925, Where theK 'have lived at 122 South r Street ever since. Until a little ;over two yeara mgo he conducted the meat department i Church's Market; his being the flrst meat market in Pico. 'He is survived by his daughter Mrs. Mary Sumxners, of Pico, and his son, Jack Gardiner, of Whit- tier. Mr. Gard1ner's wife dled suddenly last January, leaving him greatly saddened by the loy- ing companion cf alniost hall a century. Several nephcws. and nicces af Mrs. Gardiner made their home wlth him upon the death cf their mother. Hîs home was open toalal hlm fricnds and he neyer failed ta ex- tend a helping hand ta anyone in need. Pico will greatly miss this fine gentleman; cominig here al- most before there was a Pica and helping it ta graw. Funcral services were conduct- ed by Rcv. William C. Cheverton, ai the First Christian Church. In- terment was i Rose Hilis Ceme- tery wth hlm grand-nephews act- in palîbearer. The many friends of Mr. Gar- diner wha knew hlm either for many years or few extend their sympathy ta Mis family. Pico has not only lost one cf its pieneer citizens but one cf its finest. Mrs. R. T. Rutherford Although she had been il and failing for over two months and friends knew she had *been worse the last week or two it stili came as a shock ta many ta learn that Mrs. R. T. Rutherford had passed away December 26th. It seemed hard to realize that one who had been s0 ful cf lite and womanly energy throughout tic years and right through this past summer. had gone fromn home and family To flli its place in the traniportation pro- gram of a nation at work te win the war, Chevrolet must be built to an effective and enduriag standard. These are the reasons why. we have rodoubled eur effort to 'widen and in- crease Chevrolet value leadership in our new cars for '41. If you wilI examine the new Oievrolet carefiÙlly, you wilI agree we have succeeded. You will find, for example, that Ohevrolet alone ainong the low-pt-iced cars includes as standard equipment certain quality features which a buyer would be wise, under present circumutances, to insist upon. You will find that Chevrolet with its thrilling new bigness is .tyled akead for your protec- tien.
