Mix appears as a young ranch owner, with whom romance begins when he meets, through auto trouble, the pretty daughter of a wealthy father who is on tour seeking invest- ments in the far west. The romance is developed in San Francisco, and of course culminates in the union of the lovers. But meanwhile Mix ex- periences--thanks to sundry foes -- enough thrilling encounters to satis- fy the most rabid trouble hunter. Nuiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiidiiiiiiiiii Also, he rescues from imminent peril two girls--each of them twice--in ad- dition to saving a child in a runaway nerve-tingling proposition.

CAR October 24, 1921 Gentlemen: The unusual quality of Battery Service which I have received at your Winnetka Service Station deserves a word of appreciation. Although I have a battery of another make, I have received the most willing and courteous service from the men of your station, particulary on two occasions on which they responded within fifteen minutes to a telephone call with a spare battery, and enabled me to use my car immediately. The charges for this servive were not only very reasonable, but the men themselves refused to accept hI additional compensation whatever. This kind of service is such a contrast to that an owner of an automobile usually encounters that it is a pleasure to express some appreciation to your good Company. Your very truly, FOR BATTERY SERVICE PHONE WINNETKA 1387
