PAGE EIGHT Phoenix, Ariz. Oct. 14. 1955 Well, folks. Twenty-one years is a long time! Are you looking forward ito being “21”? Or do you look back and remember when you thought you would never reach “21”? Well, I’ve gone through waiting period twice now. Yes, I became “21” quite a few years ago, but REDDY’S CORNER is just reaching that magical “21”! Yes, Reddy’s Corner became of age today, October 14, 1934 to October 14, 1955 is “21” years, and a long, long “21” years, too. I can’t say that I have enjoyed every minute of it either. In fact, there have been several times when I would have given Reddy’s Corner to some one for a “pleas ant smile.” But in looking back now' over the years, there have been many ups and downs. At times I have been very discour aged, but those times have been more than offset by the fine co operation I have always enjoyed from you, THE CUSTOMER. Without your continued support “Reddy’s Corner would now only be a memory. We have worked well togeth er now for “21” years. Personally I am looking forward to at least that many more. Thanks and thanks again, for your support and friendship. As always, JUST REDDY. Cut Down Water On Trees, Shrubs It wouldn’t do to put antifreeze on your trees and shrubs, but it is wise to begin “winterizing” them for the cold weather ahead. On your regu.-ar watering sched ule, start cutting down the amount of water you’re now using. This gives trees and shrubs a chance to harden off as it reduces sap flow. Later, after your deciduous plants have lost their leaves, soak them good once. Some plants aren’t meant to pro duce lush growth during the win ter, so don’t put any more fertilizer on your trees this fall. This is especially true of palo verde, sour orange, eucalyptus, carob, other broadleafed evergreens, and shrubs like privet and oleander. Any of your trees that have grown fast during the summer need to be watched closely. One of the main things that keeps these trees from hardening off is too much water on your lawns now, as the water soaks the tree roots. classified” ADVERTISING RA'rES rt Cents per Word, Per Insertion Minimum, 50 Cents HOSIERY Wilknit guaranteed; men’s women’s (includes red fox) and children’s.

AUNT HATTIE S ARIZONA SUN Jaycees Award Rodeo Contract Ralph B. Feffer, Jr., 1956 Rodeo Chairman of the Phoenix Junior Chamber of Commerce, announced today that the stock contract has been awarded to Beutler Bros., of Elk City, Oklahoma, for furnishing of rodeo stock for the 1956 Phoenix World Championship Rodeo to be held March 15-18. Award was made to Beutler Bros, on the basis of bids N received from various rodeo pro ducers and stock contractors, and 'on the recommendation of Rodeo Committee members, Ralph B. Fef fer, Jr., Dale Kober, Dick Lodge, Milt Graham, and Tommy Thomp son who have just returned from a rodeo tour which included the Ak- Sar-Ben Rodeo at Omaha, Nebras ka (produced by Kramer Bros. Stock Contractors and the Albu querque Rodeo (produced by Beut ler Bros.) The Beutler Bros., producing the Phoenix Rodeo for the fourth con secutive year, are one of the top rodeo outfits in the business and produce many of the greatest ro deos in the United States—to name a few in the southwest, the Tucson El Paso, Albuquerque, and Fort Worth Rodeos. Most rodeo cowboys claim that the bucking horses and brahma bulls supplied by the Beut ler Bros., are the meanest and most vicious in the world. Also included in the stock contract is the furnish ing of cattle for the roping events and steers for the bull dogging events. The Beutlers got their start in the rodeo business back in 1927 with a high-flying, hard-bouncing bronc named “Nigger Boy”. Elra Beutler had bought the black bronc for a saddle horse —this proved to be a mistake, as no one around the place could ride him. Repeated efforts to tame this bronc only made him worse, so the Beutlers found they had an outstanding bucking horse on their hands. In the years since they started with Nigger Boy and a few other rough broncos that had been expelled from various ranches, the Beutlers have built a string of 250 outstartd "Home of Nome Bands' 1 PRESENTS Chuck Higgins And His ORCHESTRA ‘ Featuring THE VOICES (A Vocal Group) and LITTLE JESSE ■ THURSDAY, OCT. 20 ★ Dancing 9 p.m. to 1 a.m. Admission $1.50 Per Person Tax Included * ★ Coming Thurs., Oct. 27 FATS DOMINO FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14, 1955 ing bucking horses and 60 brahma bulls.

Reflectorized Car Plates? * The possibility of adopting ««iew reflectorized car plate in 1957 was considered by the State Highway Commission yesterday. George Lindner, representing Minnesota Mining and Milling Company pre sented the proposal as a “safety and accident prevention measure.” The reflectorized process, Lindner said, “enables a car approaching another vehicle from the rear at night to see the shining rear li cense plate more than 2000 feet away.” C. L. Lane, Superintendent of the motor vehicle riivisLm pointed out that next year’s plates have already been ordered, but both the Commission and Mr. Lane expressed interest in the possibil ity of adopting the new plates in 1957.
